Get ZoukOut

I wonder if it's to do with my age.
But I seriously think Zouk is too crowded.

I hope it's got something to do with the novelty. I hope it's to do with Diggers being the guest DJ on Saturday. I hope it's cause of the DesignEdge closing party at Phuture.

Contrary to what many may assume, clubbing is not about byo-ing girls or guys per se. That is a by-product. Clubbing is not entirely about drinking jugs after jugs of vodka redbull/cranberry/ribena. That is an accessory. Clubbing is not about having guest DJs that drop tracks that are meant to educate (read: interesting only to himself). That is for the tourist.

Clubbing is about the great company that surrounds you after a week of work where you don your super hero gear and generate some form of productive work. Clubbing is about the fantastic vibes that leaves you gasping for more as you go into a hands in the air, frenzied anticipations from the long drawn basslines or the hints of an impending killer drumbeat.

And although the crowd has got alot to do with this vibe. Too much of a good thing is bad. Similarly for clubbing. Perhaps there are people who enjoy the body to body jostle. Perhaps there are those who love the sweat of the person next to you brushing against your arm.

Word of advice: If you are planning to go across the dancefloor, go around it instead?

yes I did. Michael Winterbottom? Life of Tom Wilson? Think it was shown at the Singapore Film Fest 03? Watched with my gf.

Watched Human Traffic too. Some time ago.

But the one that got away was Party Animal where Macaulay Culkin plays Michael Alig.

I couldn't find Party Animal on Amazon but there was a Party Monster from 2002, which is the movie you're referring to.

Sounds interesting. Did it make it here for the film fest or general release?
