All photos by yr brave correspondent, who writes: "I got punched in the face but I gave it back worse."

The kid in the Suicidal Tendencies t-shirt went down hard, his spindly dark form an inverse chalk outline on the floor. Crowding around him, and jostling violently for view on the balcony above, his metalhead kin roared at the security guard (as if this sweaty, wayward ship could claim any order) who'd knocked him flat with a beefy fist. Were their cries a timely exhibition of the smash-the-Man ethos just roared for half an hour by furious punks Pig Destroyer? No, it was a bunch of boat quips - "Throw him overboard!" "Send him to the brig!" As they said on The Love Boat, "It's not a cruise until someone gets fucking punched."
