two pepsi's at the diner we stopped in,
one weird ass Tanqueray Martini @ Czar

Mountain dew's new drink voltage (2-20oz & 2-cans on the way back)....I know at that point I really should have had water.

So anyways, I had a goddamned blast!
We got to Ybor early. so we parked($7 in the Czar parking lot), walked to a restroom, ended up using the one in this diner we ate at, I can't remember the name of the place. apparently Mr.Gasper, one of the Dj's who'd later be spinning at the pulp party in the center room at czar ate their earlier...too bad we missed him there. I had a grilled chicken blt wrap....minus the, "t", since the whole tomato scare. It seems a little too ironic that just a short time after burger king caves into the CIW, there's a tomato scare, which is primarily what's grown in Immokolee, anyways.
we ended up walking to the Phat Shack and rumaging through their vinyl collection....all vinyl 50% off too!
we threw the vinyl justin got into his car and headed over to czar. we had tickets at will-call.
hung out in czar's main room for a while watching baker perform, who was already spinning, not the most interesting dj.
went over to the pulp party, justin went up and chatted with Mr.Gasper, nice guy. I asked what kinds of gin they carried, disappointed that they have like ten thousand vodkas and just two gins; Tanqueray and bombay sapphire....BTW, I hate tonic.
went back to czar got a drink and watched nick james spin until RYLE was ready to come on.....That's when shit went down like flight 815!
on a stage decorated with glittered and mirrored chainsaws, huge hockey masks with mini disco balls for eyes, three screens projecting the vj magic of Berkeley Meyer of Monk's co. Hallucination on film, & anywhere from one to four dancing girls (Rain Gurl with Tiny & the sinful bitches) and every now and then performer Mad Maxx who had the presense of the Prodigys Maxium mixed with Kenna and a male stripper. Ryle came out and during his "Saw-esque" intro, one of the dancing girls removes his vinyl zip-across jacket to reveal his....vinyl zip-up shirt, not to mention his moving around to show off his coloured contacts and vampire teeth....Intro ended and we discovered when the industrial music scene was supposed to have gone, an incredible mix of remixes such as Marilyn Manson's "beautiful people", some very club oriented dance tracks, with a blend of hip-hop and top 40/pop music sensibilities.
My personal oppinion, Ryle owned the night.
Monk with his mix of visual/audio humor and all around enjoyable entertainment....was alright. He totally amazed us when we went to see Junkie XL, it was a little obvious that this time around he was just more 'low-key'.
Jackal&Hyde, pretty rad....Until GenXX got on stage, when They suddenly became nothing more than her back-up band.
I had a great time, one which wouldn't even have been possible here in Fort Myers, Fl. (Specifically because everyone is literall forced out of the clubs not unlike the jews being forced either out of germany or into the fire during the holocaust, at around 1:30am, We didn't even leave the club until somewhere around 3:30am this friday, see why no one under 30 wants to live in Faux Town...I mean Fort Myers).
