- - - > PASE ROCK OMGSTRPPRZ! < - - -
Wow. This was my second time going to a strip club, although the first time was very brief and it was just for dinner that I didnt even really have, so I count this as my first true experience.
With Pase Rock manning the dj booth, the strippers shaking their asses to something other than nickelback or ACDC ("put put, put that pussy on me" and "take your panties off, show that baby rat"), and most of us Orlando party scene regulars out of their element and having a fucking blast was something that should not have been missed!
A few highlights:
Evan getting the stripper-ass-shake in his face multiple times
Melanie, Stormie, and Cindy's dancing getting stared at more than the naked stripper on the pole right next to them
Cesar literally looking like a kid on Christmas morning
Anita actually getting dollars from a creepy old guy based on her dirty dancing
Pauly making it rain on the strippers when Pase spun the song
Sign manipulations (see below)
Even though I wasn't allowed to take photos (it's forbidden at these types of joints, seeing as how at least one of the naked girls probably teaches one of your nieces or cousins in first grade), I did get a few cell-cam shots of the sign outside, which was immediately desecrated by us Firestonians!
First off, they spelled Pase Rock as Pace Rock, so I took it upon myself to switch the C with the S in Tuesday. Then everyone started fucking with the letters (before being threatened with the fact that the owner has a gun) and we get the following images:

- - - > KColl taking photos ALL WEEK in Orlando (Spring Training 08) and Miami for WMC!! < - - -
My CRAZY ass Itinerary for this entire week and weekend.
Melanie and I will be hitting up each Spring Training event here in Orlando, then heading to Miami sometime early Friday morning.
Friday Afternoon - Party hopping between Franki Chans IHEARTCOMIX Showcase at The Raleigh Hotel and Pauly and Mikes (Subversive and Stereohype) WINDISH AGENCY Showcase Pool Party at South Seas Hotel right next door. There is also special guests at the Windish Showcase that I am allowed to hint at: They were here very recently, so I just pray you can guess who!
Friday Night - Fools Gold Showcase at The White Room (where i shot the Girl Talk afterparty in Feb) w/ A-Trak, Sindin, LA Riots, etc
Saturday Afternoon - I'm doing a photobooth type setup at Ultra Fest for URB Magazine. That should be neat! Then I can shoot the rest of the event, buuuuuuuut I might go here or instead...
Saturday Night - 2 Choices. Either Calvin Harris with Heatsrevolution at The White Room, or the fucking Bloody Beetroots, LA Riots, Laz Cazanova, Felix Cartal, and Riot in Belgium.
MAN O MAN. Me taking photos, Melanie doing reviews. Very little sleep. More than likely alcohol poisoning...

A special guest was amongst the crowd...can you find him?
No time to pick out 35 or even 25, so here's a TOP 10 picked out very hastily! Enjoy your easters and that Carnival house party with The Audition!
(my goodness the amount of pretty girls at carnival, especially the one in the last pic ;-)

JUSTICE / DJ Mehdi - MySpace Music Tour 08
Club Firestone & Saturday/Thursday - 03.06.08
by Melanie Gapany & Kevin Collier
If it weren’t for high tech cell phones and digital cameras, a typical Thursday night at Club Firestone would have most people running to check their calendars to make sure that they haven’t somehow traveled into the eighties. Surrounded by latex, sequins, and hairspray, it’s easy to get confused. Filled to capacity (around 1500-1600 people), however, this Thursday was different. The day-glo was still present and the pants were just as tight, but it was the only Florida stop on the Myspace Music Tour, and the club felt distinctively different.
On a regular basis, there are plenty of musical acts to get the crowd going (Residents Pauly Crush, Miss Fit, Justin Scott, Ge30n, and Y-Not along with international acts and DJs such as Flosstradamus, Kid Sister, Girl Talk, Tommie Sunshine, Felix Cartal, and Boys Noize just to name a few), but with a lineup that includes international sensation DJ Mehdi and electro-superstars Justice, there seemed to be a particularly intense amount of energy inside Firestone.
Two of Saturday/Thursdays residents, Justin Scott and Miss Fit (formerly Bodywerx) started the night, soon followed by Mehdi, who took the floor by surprise, quickly fueling the floor with energy, spinning tracks that are both recognizable to the usual S/T crowd and some previously unheard. With the dance
floor completely covered, there were still a few brave souls who did their best to dance where they could. While everyone appeared to be enjoying Mehdi's selection and mixing for the evening, it was obvious; the crowd was there for Justice and were aching to turn their feet and ears to the main stage behind them...waiting for that big black curtain that hid Justice's impressive stage display to open up.
The curtain opens; a giant cross adorns the middle of a huge sound board with stacks of giant amplifiers on both sides. The main act rightly deserved that attention. Looking at the stage, anyone could easily assume they were about to witness a great rock band blow their minds. The DJs, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, collectively known as Justice, walk out and immediately whip the room into frenzy. There is barely standing room, but everyone is dancing. As they play the songs that have made them popular, including "Waters of Nazareth", "We Are Your Friends", and Grammy nominee for electronic song of the year "D.A.N.C.E.", you can barely hear yourself think, but the entire room is singing along. The room is electric, the people are ignited.
They finish their set and perform their encores, which included various remixes of their hits (everyone sang along to each and every one no matter how many times a remixed song was already played).
Justice (Xavier, at least) moved away from the giant stage to the turntables back on the other side of the room. Mehdi, once again enters the VIP-area-turned-DJ-booth, to tag team with Xavier until almost the end of the night with Pauly Crush hopping on to close the night out and send everyone home with memories of a pretty freaking amazing night!.
Thank you Firestone, Saturday/Thursday, Pauly Crush, Mike Feinberg, and all else involved for bringing in one of the biggest current electronic acts right now for their only FL tour stop and for putting on a perfect production and awesome show!
