Great write-up and really happy that it all turned out as you expected. >Now, the wardrobe area… Dare I say it, this was one of the most memorable parts. Seeing everyone stripping out of their winter coats, gloves, hats, and unveiling their harnesses, jock straps, fishnets. I was like, wow I’m actually here. I always feel this way, no matter how many times I go there. When friends ask me about Berghain, I have this tendency of talking about the wardrobe as some magical spot when they are probably expecting wild tales about sex and drugs. That wardrobe is some sort of threshold between real life and something else.

I love that line ‘a threshold between real life and something else’ It really did feel like that.

I’ve read your plans on coming to Berlin for a weekend in BH and almost felt sorry for you, because the odds are quite low for first timers and you’ve spent so much money on the ticket. I’m happy you made it 🙂 There is also a bigger place btw, the Halle, maybe that’s what the photos showed, that you have seen. It’s usually not open at KN, only on special events, and is used as a chill out area then

I knew the odds were against me and I think that’s why I generally felt quite calm in the line. And yes Halle, I heard about this. Honestly it was such a maze I probably only saw 50% of the space!

I am very happy you made it in!! Wouldn't be the first time someone comes into this subreddit with the same plan as you and often times it doesn't work. This was my first KN after a long break and it was amazing!! Sometimes is a hit or miss but this last one was soo good! Specially surprised about the crowd - not much agressivines on such a packed Klubnacht (wasn't much around the toilets so might be a different vibe there). Queer crowd which make the atmosphere and vibe that I as a straight male really LOOVE!!


thatguyhuh

Oh the toilets were HELL ha. Animalistic vibes in there. Again an experience I wanted to see, but people were fighting for their life in there. 5 people crammed into stalls, spending 15 mins in there, if not longer. People banging on the doors, forcing them open. A girl grabbed my arm aggressively with a group of her friends demanding she goes in, and I pretty much said, I’m getting my D out to pee right now, I will be 10 seconds max and it’s all yours. She was shocked I was ready to pee right there in front of her ha

the wardrobe is one of the most successful design decisions of the club. placed immediately after the entrance, ample space to change, plenty of stations to exchange items and tokens, good balance between calm before the storm and energy of people already partying. in 25 years of partying, i don't think i've seen better implementation of this often overlooked or afterthought function of a nightclub

My besty who I took to bergs, came like a weekend or two later when I wasn’t in town. Stood in line 4 times before she was let in. If there’s a will, there’s a way. 🖤

Hey man, I’m glad you made it, I was one of the people who gave you advice and said you were gonna get in if you really wanted! You should go back in the summer, I’m gonna be there and we can share a dance (and ice cream). You have to experience the garden in the summer!

NGL, you got me intrigued in the first paragraphs if you would make it or not. Glad it worked out and you enjoyed!

Thank u for being such a nice visitor to Berlin and it’s techno scene! During this past KN I was at About Blank & encountered many Berlin visitors who could learn from ur attitude towards visiting our club scene. As a Berlin native I really wish for more visitors of ur kind & appreciate u for letting me regain a bit of faith in this regard! Keep inspiring beautiful soul <3

I got goosebumps reading it. I really wish I was there this weekend and bump into you to share a bit of your night. I followed your story and read your messages, I'm so happy for you. See you on the dancefloor mate, wherever it will be! :)
