During a big AVN fundraiser fan friendly event at The Roxy in Los Angeles we crashed through the side doors of the club with a gigantic dragon float carried by a dozen people for each of its three sections, blasting smoke and shooting sparkle blasts from its mouth, then a float of rolling waves, and finally followed with another float that was a giant oyster. A military fogger blasted forth and filled the room with a thick cloud that flashed with the dragon's laser light eyes and various strobes to make the Roxy seem like a magical box containing a storm of thunder and lightning. We had a drum and horn procession jamming jungle jazz musical mayhem around the dragon while Slash's band was hitting the stage but we had already made arrangements with them to give us a fanfaire appropriate to the moment as well. Luckily, the club manager said he was fine with everything as long as we didn't set anything on fire...

We dropped the oyster on the stage whereupon it opened up to release a bunch of pearlescent balloons and a burlesque fan dancer who shook and shimmied while we terrorized the audience for about 15 minutes then flew back out leaving a crowd of shell shocked mooks.

Revenge is not only sweet. It is also entertaining.
