let me be the first...

shouts to relate and curtis dank for introducing most of
us to the cyber club, 7 n. sixth st. in columbia, mo.
i strolled in at 10 sharp (nothing else to do yo!) to find
the djs (and gucci) tweaking out the sound setup.  to 
those of you who experienced the sound first hand, don't
blame curtis or relate.  blame the owner.  the "PA" he
supplied was not quite what the djs expected; next time
i'm sure curtis and relate will take care of bid-ness.

the first delight of the evening was the drink pricing:
$2 bottles of newcastle win me over every time.  i had
to spend 2 more bucks to get on the cyberclub's "ISDN"-
connected terminals, which at first didn't seem too bad for 
an hour of web surfing.  but ISDN, as they use it, must stand 
for "incredibly slow damn network" connection.  

curtis started off with some funky acid jazz then moved 
into some soulful house.  sorry, folks, that's as descriptive 
as i get.  i liked it more than you might think from my 
bland adjectives.  

as people started rolling into the place, i kept thinking
of what raj would've said about the situation: "need more smoke!"
also, i wish the light over the pool table could be reduced or
eliminated.  joe's young's lights can't mesmerize anyone when an
entire side of the room is bright white.

relate took over at about 11:30.  i regret that i missed 
the climax of his set (i had to work early on sunday), but i'm
sure it was smacked out.   a minor sound problem interrupted the 
mix close to midnight, but relate recovered well.  when i left, 
about 25 people were shaking their bootys, including our own 
listadmin...

in summary, the venue was less than ideal in apperance and 
setup, but its owners were hip to the sounds of house and 
mid-tempo breaks.  the crowd was mello and it appeared everbody 
was enjoying themselves.  the sound was wack but the owner was 
to blame.  the night was a little rough around the edges but 
holds lots of potential...

anybody want to comment on the last hour or so?
