I guess it really was a matter of too many different parties on the same night because the turn-out for Just Another Party (Cat Club meets Birth Control) was rather disappointing. I think there were about 50 people there and that’s kind of painful of course. This was also the reason why I never got the feeling that the party actually started. And the DJs weren’t exactly playing spunky and upbeat tunes. I’m not saying the music was bad, I just felt that they should’ve quit warming up a bit sooner, like around 1am instead of 3am. And when Lady Jane finally started it was 4am, on a regular Saturday night I would have stayed but after having roamed the streets of Brussels for an entire day and with a trip to Ghent to look forward to, well, it was time to go home. This was a shame because the music was really picking up by then and the small crowd was really starting to get into the groove.

The verdict is very simple: not enough people present. And it’s not really the organizers’ fault because I actually thought it very brave to throw a more alternative party the evening of the Gay Pride. In theory it was a good idea. I guess the competition was too fierce. A real pity.

Next Cat Club: July 7th.

Next Saturday I will be choosing Just Another Party over the official Gay Pride Party at AB. Not only because Lady Jane is playing/organizing but definitely also because at this giant official party a) you have to wait ages before you can get in because everybody wants to get in at the same time, b) the crowd is so big you can never find anyone c) the crowd is so big you get trapped in between two or more naked male torsos once in a while d) why not try something else this year?

Not that I don’t expect the Girly Room @ AB to be very good. DJ Sand programmed the female DJ’s and Angela will be playing… but you can’t have it all. I will definitely report back after the weekend.
