My friends and I had a great time there (again!).
Kept it quiet(!) by going to Sternradio on Friday as it's local to our hostel
and having travelled and just eaten a large meal at the nice Mexican on
Rosenthaler Platz I lacked energy and indeed was in bed by 3:30am.
Saturday day I took the S Bahn to Potsdam and had a fascinating day checking
the palaces etc.
Nightime we went to Week12end about midnight, heard Ame (I think it was he
judging from what was played), HENRIK SCHWARZ who was once again devastatingly
good and Dixon (ditto on the "at least I think it was him"). Heard people slag
the place for being snobby and we have had trouble getting in before but once
in it seemed to me nice club, good sound, amazing views, top DJs. €8. You
wouldn't get that in the UK.
Then it was on to our Mecca Berghain for another night of unrelenting hard
tech. At some points in the night the music or DJing might not have been 100%
my taste but the place just has such a vibe (and system). Managed to keep in
the main bit and out of Panorama (as I find it too easy to spend half the night
chatting in there!) the whole time (we left about 13:00 Sunday). We then ended
up having some rather bizarre adventures before grinding to a halt on Sunday
night.
At my last count there was another UK posse headed there, one from Eire maybe?
(did you get everybody there eventually?), one person from the USA? and of
course the residents such as Roman. I totally failed to get in contact with
anyone after suffering a PC failure on Thursday before I left and then just
going with the flow once there - but I think a fair few were planning on
Week12end. Were we all there in separate corners?
