OK I'm sure you didn't mean anyone to take this too seriously but just to speak 
up against stereo-types this is certainly not my
experience of Berlin's inhabitants, the ones I've met are a VERY relaxed bunch, 
Berlin is a very bohemian city.

It's usually us visitors who seem (well I do anyway) to have to large it to 
keep up with them: plenty seem to party the night and
next day away on a few beers.

And on the bike vibe possibly one of the most bizarre (and believe me there's 
competition) things about Berghain is the large number
of bikes chained to the fence outside and the people who can manage to breeze 
home on these in the morning after a night in there.

brophy is irish, we are used to our clubs closing just after the
witching hour. the excesses of berlin are a shock to the system. maybe
that's what has him troubled.

his job is as a dance music journalist, so i suppose he has to search
for some meaning.

as to middle age - i feel a bit out of place surrounded by all the
young fillies looking and pointing 'what's grandpa doing here?'. in
dublin, the age demographic in most clubs is young - darn young.

Blissed out in Berlin

I've made my mind up: I don't want to live in Berlin. I had toyed with
the idea over the past few years because I have a lot of friends and
connections there, it's a world city with cheap prices and because I
speak German (blame it on my university degree), but having watched
the 'Feiern' DVD recently, I decided that to protect my mental and
physical well being, it would be better not to move to the German
capital. 'Feiern' (it means 'celebrate' or 'party' in German) is a
soon to be released documentary about the club/party scene in the city
and it features interviews with some of the scene's well-known names.
Villalobos and Luciano come across well enough - although Mr Nicolet
gives his Chilean compadre a dirty look when he says that partying is
like being part of a big happy family and why would you need kids?
(Luciano has two children and is very much a family man); Thilo from
Groove magazine's contributions about the infamous dark room in the
Panorama Bar are hilarious, and the story about the gay couple who
fall in love at a club and don't even notice that the lights are on
and the music is off is quite cute. Apart from that though, there is
something depressingly seedy about the rest of the contributors (
don't get me wrong: I like seediness as much as anyone else, but not
four days a week). The girl who says that she feels like someone has
died as people drop off and go home on the third day of non-stop
partying needs to have a good long think about her life, and the gay
guy who says he thinks it's cool that all the couches are dirty in the
Panorama Bar because it makes him feel like a homeless person is funny
for all the wrong reasons. Most tellingly,  nearly all of the party
people say that they will never be able to find true, lasting love out
on the dance floor in Berlin. That claim neatly sums up what's missing
from the lives laid bare on 'Feiern': nothing is lasting, everything
is transient. At some stage, the party ends, and as Ewan Pearson
points out, the most important thing to remember is not to forget to
go home. Unfortunately, it looks like that message has been lost on
the motley crew that constitute the cast of 'Feiern'...
