I finally got to go dancing last night! It's Dredsner Stadtfest (the German City Festival), so a lot of the clubs are doing Entritt Frei nights (free entry nights.) Lin, Amanda, and I went to Club Royal in Aldstadt by the festival grounds. We walked around for awhile and then found the club, but it was only about 10:30 and not many people were there. I drank some shots (Absolut and Jagermeister), but they were classy and bought drinks.
I was dying to start dancing because there was already house music playing and dance lights on the floor, but no one else was doing anything. I danced by myself for a bit while Lin and Amanda laughed at me. Around 11 the DJ appeared, but he started playing slow Black Musik (that's what the Germans call hiphop and rap.) I sat down immediately of course, so then no one was dancing. This went on for about 15 minutes, but then maybe he got the hint because he started playing House so I got back up. I danced by myself for about 10 minutes but then more people joined.
The music was a lot better than anything I've heard in Boston. Even the hiphop they played had a house style to it. It wasn't what I had hoped the German clubs would be (all eurodance, all the time), but it was still much better than anything I've been to before! We danced straight until 2, only occasionally buying beers to hydrate. For having such fast music, the Germans are really conservative dancers. We must have looked really foreign to them with all of our jumping around and fist-pumping lol. We said, "Wir kommen aus Amerika" a lot to explain our high-energy dancing.
I wanted to stay longer, but my shoes blistered my left heel something awful. It was more of a wound than a blister. I had to disinfect it and put on a ton of bandaids and everything. Only wearing flipflops tonight!
lololol Go Tricia!
