    I don't know if it's sadder that Bad Brains played at this or that I wish I was there to see them. #vice

    Bucky Turco is not too good at seeing what goes into an event that big. You could spend 250k pretty easy on that party. Bad Brains and Jesus Lizard 25k each, maybe as much as 40k each for a private event like this. 10k in DJ fees. 10k or maybe more for venue rental. 20k-30k for security (who were douches), 15k for bar staffing, 5k for insurance, 2k for architectural renderings for the city, 2k for permits, 2k for cleanup, 10k for portapotties, sound and staging could have been 40k or more, stage managing and sound guys 5k, the smaller bands maybe 1k or 2k each, renting out several studios in Fast Ashleys for the green rooms 5k, etc. That's around 200k right there and I'm probably thinking these are cheaper than they really are and I'm sure I'm leaving a lot of stuff out. It was a big, big event. A lot of fun for those who got in. #vice

    Check out the fu**ed up post at titusandromedustheband - blogspot ... Vice's party had a dark side, and I'm not talkin' about too many drugggz.

    @NewGonzo: Wow. This is incredible. He made me feel like a shitface. That's impressive.

    I'm a huge fan of theirs. Maybe more so, now. All of which goes without saying, Patrick's a great writer. I didn't see a lot of this stuff; then again, I was on the other end of the story. Still. Wow.

    I went, I saw two really fucking amazing bands, I drank all the free beer I could take and I had a good time. Is it really much more complicated than that? #vice

    Say what you will about Vice, this was the party of the fucking year (and I had no problem getting in or waiting on line, but I found out later that there were even different 'levels' of wristbands). Also, even though like at least half the crowd was on Ecstasy, don't forget that about half of Vice's past/present staffers are recovering addicts, so for a lot of us it was good sober fun...with the Jesus Lizard!

    @blondiejfm001: I have to wonder if most the people complaining were too young/never went to a punk rock show or rave in 1994. Dude, ten minutes of internet research would tell you that Bad Brains shows are absolute chaos. That was actually a walk in the park compared to most. And yes, people did a lot of drugs at raves. The music downstairs was pretty much exactly what they played back then. Take away the advertising aspect and I thought the party fairly accurately depicted what you'd get going to either type event in 1994.

    Also, people who didn't bother costuming for the theme shouldn't have gotten in. How lazy can you be? #vice

    The dudes running the party did go renegade. It was the most absurd door/security operation ever. Cops would have been far superior. I bet VICE payed those heavies a good portion of the 250K. Hopefully the Jesus Lizard got whatever was left. They were amazing

    @agentmule: Hopefully VICE didn't pay the security guys ("Tight Security Group, Inc,") a whole heckuva of lot...seeing how the previous high-profile clients they list on their website include:

    * Simtech Corporation
    * Tone Afrique International Recording Studio
    * Glory of God Church
    * Allied Laboratory
    * O Records Company
    * Star Primary School and Day Care Center
    * Tripple T Clothing and Beauty Supply stores

    To be fair, Star Primary School and Day Care Center ALSO could've thrown a wild, quarter-million dollar bash with drugs and booze and bands, so TSGI might actually be the industry leader for this kinda thing.... #vice
