Jungle is Massive

Last night we went to a club here in Utrecht to go see DJ Aphrodite....part of the drum and bass scene. We expected to be the old ones in a crowd of 16 and 17 year olds...but there were actually older people there (20's). It was very crowded, as this was a small club. Not much space to dance around...as drum and bass is a favorite of M's. He and his friend Christoph are so fun to watch dancing. They are in their own world. Its cute, and its funny. Christoph's friend Wolfgang (aka 'Wolfy-baby' by Christoph) was also along for the fun. The place was packed with all these 'kids'...and its funny to watch how people dance and how they dress. I've never been to a rave before, but this was probably pretty similar to what its like. We had to wait through 2 other lesser known DJs first, then finally at 145am, Aphrodite came on. Its pretty intense music...'music' if you consider that kind of stuff music. I like it its fun, but after 20 or 30 minutes, it all is sort of the same thing...I think my ear drum even blew out because the music was so loud. Since it was so crowded, and M didn't have the space to dance as he'd like, we left at 3am. I think the club was open til 4. So of course we slept in for half of the day, til noon. Missed half the day, but the weather was just spectacular today. So perfect, in the 80s.

Queen's Day is Monday, but the party starts tomorrow...Flea markets and partying all over the city. Some real Dutch culture to explain and document! :-)
