Buddy System FAQ:
What does a Buddy do?
A Buddy helps you get water when you've had a lot to drink. A Buddy runs interference when there's someone hitting on you that you don't want hitting on you. A Buddy can talk to door security about creepy dudes in the bar if you’re too shy to. A Buddy does their best to keep an eye on your stuff so it doesn't get stolen and on your drink so it doesn't get tampered with. And very importantly, a Buddy makes sure you have a way of getting home safely after the bar - especially if you've been drinking.
Why a public Buddy System?
This is a response to predatory acts of violence including sexual assault and date rape drugs in drinks committed by outsiders targetting women in and around the Cobalt. In the spirit of Take Back The Night, Home Alive, and other similar movements, we will not back down and give up our space - we will STEP UP and create a community based response. Most people going to bars on Saturday nights get loaded, so they're not so awesome at doing Buddy System stuff and watching each other's backs... or their own. So we’re standing up to say "HEY, WE'LL WATCH YOUR BACK!" This is not an infallible system and this response won't end violence against women, but the least we can do is look out for each other and show some love for our community.

“I Don’t Need A Buddy, I’m Fine”
Okay, so just come over and say hello! Have some water with us or share a smoke! Part of building community and creating safer environments is knowing who you’re sharing space with. Then maybe one day you will need the Buddy System and you’ll already know who you’re looking for and feel more comfortable asking for help. I am personally building the Buddy System from a harm reduction perspective. Part of my day job is working with heavy drug users in the Downtown Eastside in a harm reduction based environment; part of the reason why I got that job is because I’m a recovered cocaine addict who’s struggled with excessive binge drinking. Whether you’re drunk, high on E, doing blow, or looking for rolling papers or clean rigs, there is ZERO judgement of your choice to get inebriated – we just wanna get you home SAFE!
Buddy System participants (including myself) will be visible with glow in the dark bracelets on both wrists. If you would like to participate in the Buddy System movement come find me (blonde hair, white tank top, light blue jeans, white stripper boots!) and I'll have glow in the dark bracelets for anyone else who's willing to stay sober and watch out for the safety and wellbeing of our community.
If you are at Man Up and you need a Buddy, come find our glow in the dark bracelet crew and we'll help you have a funner, safer night!
BASIC SAFETY TIPS:
- Plan to leave the venue with a buddy.
- Do NOT leave your drink unattended. EVER.
- If someone you don’t know offers to buy you a drink and you want to accept, go to the bar with them and have bar staff make it in front of you and give it to you directly.
- Help yourself to the water tap at the end of the bar! Water’s free! If you need water to go, come see Buddy System participants and we’ll get you a water bottle to take home.
BUDDY SYSTEM IS CARRYING:
- sealed water bottles
- transit tickets
- safer sex packs: condoms, gloves, lube
- rolling papers
- clean rigs/sterile waters/alcohol wipes (discretely packed)

ACCESSiBiLiTY SUMMARY will be posted as soon as it is available. Event organizers are working with the venue to produce an audit as soon as possible. Please note that this very old building has limited chair accessibility: there are two sizable flights of stairs up from the only entrance (comparable to Fortune Soundclub). In addition, the venue uses scented candles and incense. We regret that these factors may be prohibitive for some; this will likely be the only time we do an event here, and the Cobalt continues to improve the accessibility of their venue. A more detailed description of The Emerald's space, washrooms, and more, is on the way. Thank you for your patience!
