Back to the future!

I do realize that I haven't covered London or Dublin, BUT.

Last night was Sensation White, a gigantic rave-thing housed in Parken, Copenhagen's stadium. Literally 25-30,000 people there, and due to the dress code, all wearing white. INSANE! Very exciting, especially since I haven't been to anything like it before.

Basically: take a stadium. put in a wood/plastic temporary floor. Bisect the field with a ten foot tall mirrored wall, the top of which is wide enough to walk or dance on and has fountains and fire shooters and launches fireworks. In the center, build a HUMONGOUS turning circular station that houses the DJ and climbs all the way to the ceiling in a bulbous, lit up extravaganza. Hang 20 foot tall white jellyfish all over. Make the jellyfish light up, rise up and down, and shoot lasers. Install lasers ALL over the place. Now fill it with 30,000 (coked out/rolling on E,) drunk, or just plain crazy people dancing to some wonderful and not so wonderful electro-type musics. SO much fun. Oh, and it runs for eight hours - from 7 PM to 3 AM.

There were dancers up on the wall sometimes, and for those of you into this kind of music, Rune RK played for about an hour and a half. I don't have a link to it, but he did the horn-esque song that you hear mixed into a lot of stuff. Even I recognized it :p.

Two dudes, at seperate points, got up on the wall and started dancing around, and were quickly taken down. One tried to jump down and was caught in the air, and then bodily carried all the way off. Security was pretty good at responding quickly to that shit.

Basically, amazing.
