Party time

Schwuz has nothing like the Metropolis style of berghain. It's a friendly place in which you're happy to meet friends and you know you'll have a good time. It does not smell sex like the night before and for once you just enjoy being yourself and have fun without thinking of playing a role or having the right outfit. We were not keen on going out last night but you know, making phone calls to have the last news of the party (friends even stayed until 11.00 a.m. ahhh la jeunesse ...) and we decided instead of doing conference call why don't we all meet at the Barbiebar ? No bike because too cold and icy again and I learned that I can get a fine driving the bike ... drunk. But public transports were Ok. Barbiebar was packed and there was a birthday party. It is an unpretencious place but welcoming, you can smoke, service is attentive to serve you more than requested, having the first drink among all those barbies and tacky objects is kind of surreal and It is a good spot before going to Schwuz. The disco organized a special party mixing in each room a different ambiance. So we had the 80's in one, german standards and pop in the middle (every German knows the songs so they all sing out loud, you feel like in a barn when cows are not milked) and as usual the disco (the real one daaaarling Bee Gees, Sister Sledge ...) in the lounge : they call it the lounge because it closes with doors so smoking is allowed. I'm not a big fan of their shows but while the trans do their things on the scene you have the time to have a look at the other places, to go for a pee or to enjoy the X drink. The good surprise was many of the people I know in the city had the same idea so we all meet at the same place at the same time. Meeting acquaintances you haven't seen (even for years) is a special feeling but feels warm in the heart. Of course after a while we all do our stuff but never mind the link is still there. Apart of that It's party time.
