SENSATION

On Halloween, I didn't dress up as anything. Instead, I dressed in all white, and went to the National Soccer Stadium in Copenhagen for this big rave-dj-show-dancing extravaganza thing. Called Sensation White. (go to www.sensation.com, then it will all make sense).

It was AMAZING. First of all, just the sheer number of people (>10,000) was awesome. And everyone of those people was dancing at some point during the night. Everyone of those people dressed in all white and it's just a really cool feeling to be part of something like that. It was all (drinks, lockers, tickets) much more expensive than we're used to in Lund, but the music alone was worth it. The DJs were Erick E, Morten Breum, Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso (two members of the Swedish House Mafia), Mr. White, and Tocadisco. I might have missed one in there while we took an eating break. But Morten Breum and the Swedish House Mafia were definitely my favorites. DJs are the most under appreciated musicians, and should definitely be more well known than they are. No really, you should go look these guys up and listen to some of their stuff. It's amazing.

And on top of all that, there were crazy go-go dancers and an incredible laser and light show and big screens everywhere with different images on them to go with the music. You really could just watch, but we were there to dance.

A couple bad things about events in Europe (or at least Denmark):
- No one knows how to queue properly. I had to pick up my ticket when I got there, and it was absolutely hellish. So much that they had to get like fifteen security guards to form a barrier so people like me wouldn't get squished.
- No one even bothers to look for a trash can, and even if they did, there definitely weren't enough in the place to hold all the cups and lids and cup carriers etc that were produced. The trash was ALL OVER the floor and you had to kick it out of your area to dance. Sarah told me, "I feel like we'll be climbing out of trash at the end of the night," which turned out to not be exactly true, but the stairs were almost unrecognizable.

Anyway, it was totally worth the ticket price (~$120) for the music alone. The crazy show was just added on top of that. Crazy people dressed in white = wow.

Tonight I have film class...then tomorrow I want to go to Malmö or Kristianstad or somewhere here in Skåne for a day trip. Then to Will's for a preparty and VGs. Then Thursday-Monday, I have free! Crazy, right? Maybe I'll do something nuts.

Oh and Monika is planning a trip tp Kiruna in December!! So I'm pretty excited about that.
