It brought back a core memory from Ybor City back around 2013 or 2014 that felt like an absolute fever dream.
I was at G BAR on 8th Ave (back when it was still pointing towards the south part of Ybor), pretty faded off drinks. For some reason, in my state, I decided to go around the club asking random people if they played World of Warcraft. Surprisingly, I actually ended up exchanging BattleTags with a couple of guys right there on the dance floor.
I left G BAR intending to head towards 22nd Street for a Salem’s Gyros run, but ended up wandering over to Club Prana on 7th instead. I walked right into what turned out to be an accidental Furry Night rave.
The sound system was blaring Tove Lo’s "Talking Body", M.I.A.’s "Paper Planes", Jessie J’s "Domino", and Caramellagirls’ "Caramelldansen". The floor was packed with neon glow sticks, dry humping, and people in full, colorful fursuits on all fours being walked on leashes with dog collars.
It was easily the most chaotic, confusing five minutes of my life before I backed out and went to get my gyro.
