Achtung Baby!


Operating on a few hours sleep, I had breakfast at the hotel and made it to the press conference where my piece went well. The Danish crew had been partying just as hard and turned up as well. Bought myself some great new jeans in the most strategic jeans purchase of my life, before heading back to steal an hour's nap.

Friday night and the event was on! Had a great durum (kebab) and a coke, injected myself with a cocktail of chicken essence and Undaberg to try and bring my energy on, but mainly got by on reserves. Great DJs and a real party atmosphere between 11 and 1, the place was jumping with people creating their own shirts, artist collaborations, a great mix of people from art, music, media and clubbinmg scenes.

Abi turned up around 1am and I gave him a massive bear hug! Joshua from our hotel also turned up and we took the party to the next level with Mogan as everyone got ready to move on. Staying till the end at 3am, we proceeded to Panorama, a pumping club in an old power station. This place has dark rooms on some nights but the vibe tonight was just a really party dance vibe, people throwing looks around left and right, the DJ getting up on guitar and vocals at some points to banging techno beats. Had one beer and then a bottle of water as drinking seemed to have lost its appeal. Could see the sun creep through the blinds but kept on rocking with Abi and his sister's boyfriend Kim till the wee hours.

Strategic exit around 5.30, tired but happy, the crisp morning air outside woke me up instantly. Got home for a decent sleep to jam another day.
