HI CHARLOTTE. I REMEMBER IT LIKE THIS. WE WENT THERE AROUND 9AM. A HOMO CLUB IN A DERELICT WAREHOUSE IN FRIEDRICHSHAIN. DARK. LITTLE CORNERS EVERYWHERE. A LOT OF SEX HAPPENING AROUND YOU. BEARS DANCING INWARDLY. I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT THE DANCEFLOOR CODE. SOAKED CURLED BEARDS. MINIMALIST TECHNO, WHICH WE LIKED COS IT SEEMED FOREIGN. SUNLIGHT SEEPED IN AROUND THE CLOSED BLINDS. EVERYONE WAS FACING THEM, DANCING TO THEM RATHER THAN THE DJ. PERIODICALLY SOMEONE CLIMBED UP AND TEASED OPEN ONE OF THE SLATS, DISRUPTING THE IMPERATIVE OF THE MUSIC. EVERYONE CHEERED THEN. CLOSED FOR A WHILE, THEN LET OPEN FOR LONGER MOMENTS. I LIKED THIS PAGAN BUSINESS.
