alcippe | The secret club

Last night I went out to a secret club in an old factory/industrial building. It was a word by mouth affair, and you had to know a password to get in. Angela told me about it, so I was pretty curious to check it out. It was pretty cool, and very international. I got through the checkpoint okay and made it up the stairs to where all the music was coming from. When I stepped in I saw there was a long banquet table with a white table cloth and lots of candles on it where people were finishing up dinner. Had I known there would be a dinner I might have come earlier, but oh well. I got a beer and milled around. The place was REALLY cool but people seemed to be thinning out around 1am, which was sort of a bummer. I talked to a guy from New York who told me about a club up the street which sounded fun (called "Coffee-Burger" or something like that), so I headed over there to check it out. They had a dancefloor which was cool, but the music was hip-hop, which I'm pretty much totally not into. Whatever, I danced to a few songs because I felt like moving around, and had a couple beers.

Today I explored Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, window shopping, and my feet are really beat. I'm going to head back to the apartment briefly and then go get dinner at one of the restaurants around Kollwitzplatz. I need some serious food (read: meat!) after walking around in the sun all day. Then it'll be an early bedtime and hopefully some good solid slumber. My flight leaves in the morning and I'll have to be up early.
