Facebook has just tossed me a reminder that..
10 years ago I had a part time job in my favorite night club as a light technician.
A few years before I used to be a club goer and only could dream of working in a place like that. I still remember the amazing Trance parties held at this place which seemed to be perfectly designed for the events like that. Music was beautiful, people were friendly (generally). I used to go there with friends, guys or alone. I couldn't afford much, just the entry and maybe the cheapest cocktail, max two. Nevertheless, I always was the latest person leaving the club. I remember the sunrises after the nights out in this wonderful place. Now, a few years later in 2013 only a few things remind of that time. The club once designed in "outer space" style with a huge space rocket in the middle of the spiral staircase leading you to different levels of this stardom, the walls painted in lunar craters and stardust, now had a more down to earth style. More soft cozy sofas, pastel colors, oriental ornaments, less audacious elements in interior design. Music deteriorated to the styles I couldn't even discern anymore. Great aspirations for a bright future gave way to conformism.
Things will never be the same again.
