Let's Play Doctor, Brooklyn, NYC, June 6, 1997

Let's Play Doctor was a slamming outlaw which sadly got shut down too soon.
Night started out by hearing my compardre who I was planning to journey
with claiming he got drafted for babysitting duty. Whatever - decided
to head out alone to Williamsburgh by public transport to hear
the Surgeon!

Getting out at Lorimer exit at Union and Metropoliton, proved heady.
The Gulf station to look for was closed and unlit making it difficult 
to figure out one's way. The area was a bit rundown and quiet, but got
to the spot around 11pmish, and things were still being setup.
The space was sort of a basement/loft type area? High ceiling, BIG speakers
which were never quite loud enough (although prototype 909 boosted the
volume a nice bit...), the DJ up on high. This space reminded 
me of the Five-Alive squat benefit party in terms of location. It felt like
the basement of a frat, but of course since this party was in Brooklyn,
the space was about 16 times the size of the manhattan party a few 
months back! Figures...

Sat around a bit and noticed Rob and Linda, and then proceeded
to see and meet the others there...

ANyway, eventually they got the music higher, the lights lower, a little
laserlight thing going, someother stuff. Not sure who the first DJ was, but
the first real loud track was ELECTRO! Woohoo, I really want to go to
an electro party - really do NOT hear that out enough - sad I missed 
SPutnick and the Jedi Knights - can someone tell me how their set was?
There was another DJ, then Strobscopic. CUrious as I didn't realize she was
a woman first!  And next was SURGEON, so sad not to hear him all that often.
The finale was the beginnings of a LIVE PA by prototype 909 who were interupted
with the arrival of the cops. Oh well, another RARE good NYC party stopped
short.

I really really liked the feeling and music at this party. Lots of hard
kickass techno going on. Surgeon was the definite highlight, but the
Prototype 909 set seemed to have promise - if they weren't stopped
so soon :(

On the way out, didn't find anyone with any car space :P, or at least
no one who cared to, but I guess that's expected with this crowd.

And then the subway back was rather quick which was nice. Met some mean
ravahs all fashion counscious and rater to stare me down, and then 
had a talk with some nice techno-kids, so its not all bad.
