Party

There were a lot of parties at the last weekend in August this year. I have received about eight invitations to some party during the afternoon and the evening. Of course, neither human being nor can be at several places at the same time or be divided into eight. Therefore, I had to choose. So, the first choice was Insomnia, where DJ Stase played. I came bit early, because our Globe editors meeting finished sooner than the party beginning. However, I managed to change my clothes on time.

Linn was already there and she harmonized the club lights. Some minute later, even DJ Stase appeared. After that, the good party started and several nice people came. Moreover, the super music was in the air and all danced on the floor, nobody sat. Even in spite of all these problems that were in SL in that day – lags, lags and lags again. For all that, there was pleasant atmosphere in the club.

However, I was relatively very tired lately, thus I said goodbye using my usual statement: “I am going to hug my pillow.” Nevertheless, I visited Arsenal club at one German sim, because I knew from the invitation about party to the second anniversary of club existence. Actually, it was a megaparty, because it took 12 hours and altogether 12 DJs played their music.

To my big surprise and this day’s lags, 48 avatars roistered there and all worked during my stay there. There were many light effects around me and the sploder worked continuously and lindends rained down in given time. Just I would like to be there longer, but my job called me next day, so log out.

The next morning, two surprises waited for me. The first one was that as I entered in SL, several people still danced in Arsenal. The last rests said goodbye after 12 hours marathon. The second surprise was after receiving some news from Koinup.com about top SL sim in August and voilà, what it appeared there: sim Nautilus – Gisco represented by Insomnia club.

Insomnia – Parable about Wine and Un(Sleeping)

Wine of this year’s vintage (2009) of course is not at disposal on north hemisphere. Bunches of grape have already the small green little berries and time of their maturation will not be until end of August and than in September and November. However, wines of year 2008 are rearing their heads. One says: “It will be wine of century!” But I think that there I no time to some rating yet. Young wines are beautiful, often very fruity and very pleasant to drink. They show their potential later and with age gain richness of tastes and smells, and also they develop in the whole color range.

Young – new – club is similar to young wine. It arises as wine, but no from one grape variety, rather it is a cuvée of one or many varieties. It needs also sensitive work in vineyard and in cellar like wine. It is result of ideas, deals and compromises. It is about that, where the club will be, how it will look, what kind of inside equipment will be there or what music will be played there. It is result of maturation of all these things. And like young wine comes to the market at definite maturity according to winemaker decision, the new club introduces its own also in public.

I have tasted one new wine several days ago, concretely on Monday July 27, 2009. Its name was Insomnia. And similar as wine degustation, I have also tasted and savored this wine.

Color: Insomnia is in general in dark black on the walls and columns that loom up to ceiling to achieve some opening, where free sky can be seen. Otherwise, the club revels by all colors of light effects and of textures variability of dance floor.

Smell: It is quite hard to consider. Maybe it was pleasant presence of kind people, which I almost know personally, but also presence of others that I know only from Second Life.

Taste: That was certainly fantastic atmosphere. All people had a good time, danced or talked to somebody. Further, there was super DJ, which played great mix of interesting songs. It tells about wine that it is either short or long. This means that you feel some wine taste still short or long time on back tongue part and on palate after downing of wine sip. In the case of Insomnia, it was long and pleasant persistence. It held long tome still long tome after that, when I left the club. Actually, it was several days.

Finally, I would like to lift wine goblet and wish Insomnia: Na zdraví! Na zdravie! За здоровье! Cheers! A ta santé! Zum Wohl!

P.S. Wine sleeps and at the same time, it does not sleep, i.e. it matures to beauty. Insomnia also sleeps and does not sleep. It sleep, when nobody is there, and does not sleep, when it is full of people avid for dance. Let its mature also to beauty.
