For most of the community, it was Buddy's on Fridays and the Roost on Saturdays. I suspect that Buddy's will suddenly find itself a lot busier on Saturday nights. The other, smaller places will probably see their business grow over the next few months as more people discover them. But, on the whole, there really aren't very many gay bars in Edmonton (at least, not that I know about).

I am SO not a club person, so I didn't expect to have such a great time (I was dragged there by my brother and his friends) but it had the most fantastic mix of people and I just felt so welcome!! I do honestly hope that it does re-open in the near future. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Edmonton does not have a lot of alternatives to choose from, does it?

But yeah. boo-urns to that. Anyways, maybe we can get a night-club that doesn't look like someone's basement. Take, for example, Twisted in Calgary... I heard it was condos.
