It appears my reluctance about going out in Brussels on a Friday night is quite infectious, resulting in another missed Catclub and an opportunity to tell Lady Jane that I adore her but don’t worship her. Oh well, I’m getting used to it.Yesterday evening I was listening to a remix of ‘What A Feeling’, you know the theme tune from Flashdance starring the young Bette Porter (yes, I do that sometimes) and it got me so fired up - mainly because I kept seeing sweaty Bette doing her jogging-in-place-thing, the absolute highlight of the movie by the way - that I really wanted to go out and just dance. And then I remembered Miss Monuments’ guestlist privileges at Café Dirty, and a little phone conference call later we were on our way to Brussels. It can be that easy. (And The Girlfriend bought me a new tie, so I had to go somewhere to show it off.)

I can only say ‘waw’ about Dirty Dancing! They have a great multi-room location (of which one with a rotating dance floor), a nice and relaxed atmosphere with a pretty mad crowd, but most of all and most importantly they have fabulous DJs. The music was fantastic and it has been quite a while since I’ve said that about a party. Those three hours of dancing instantly made up for the so far music-wise disappointing partying of this year, let’s hope Irreversible doesn’t ruin it next week.

So, thanks Ine for sharing the guestlist privilege and please remember to find out the name of that cute DJ for me.

And oh, if somehow the minimalist-dancing-Grace-Jones-look-a-like should read this: please come dance for us at Trouble, I’ll pay you.
