Weekend done! Bremen Style

Hi everyone. I've recently returned from Bremen Germany, so a good time to let you know how things went down.

Firstly, please excuse me, but I must mention how bad Ryanair is! The flight itself was fine, but the pantomime leading up to it was unbelievable. No check in desks at all, just BA style self service check in - complete with "Fast Bag Drop". Checking myself in was fine, however the Fast bag drop took a rapid (wait for it) 1 hour!!!!! I've flown 5 times this year and even been through the presses favorite Terminal Heathrow Terminal 5, and only had to queue for 15 minutes at most - Shocking! Rant over

The usual schedule took place when arriving in Bremen. I was met by Sven who is one of the promoters and DJ's in Bremen. We caught some food and then headed to the Hotel. Plan was to head to the club for about 1am, so enough time to chill out, watch "die Simpsons", sample the minibar and then get ready.

In my haste to leave the UK, I spent more time sorting my records instead of sorting my clothes. As a result I had a bag full of quite impressively creased garments. In search of an Iron and Ironing board I shortly found myself in reception trying to explain to the night porter that I needed an Iron. After a failed charades show and some really bad diagrams, I returned to my room Ironless and got ready.

I caught a Taxi to the club. The road system in Bremen reminds me of Amsterdam e.g. complete chaos! Trams and Buses rule the roads, while bikes rule the pavement. Luckily the club was only round the corner.

On arriving at the club, I was greeted in the usual way by my good friend and Club Manager Jan - which involves a shot of this stuff called "Friesengeist". I absolutely hate shots, but this stuff I can handle - even if it does blow your socks off. This was closely followed by another flavour of Becks beer i've never tried and will probably never try again. For the next hour or so I had a good chance to catch up with another friend Arno aka MC Motion, and also meet Jan's lovely Girlfriend Kat and of course drink some more Friesengeist.

I played my set from 2 til about 4. Unfortuantely not as many people came to the club compared to my previous visits, but there was still enough people to party until the early hours! After another Friesengeist it was time to head back to the hotel. I decided to walk and actually found my way quite easily, compared to last time I visited Bremen where I found myself walking towards the Becks Brewery (completely the wrong way).

On arriving at the hotel quite drunk and armed with a German Phrasebook on my ipod touch, i had a conversation with the same night porter. I walked away with a clean towel and a bottle of Paulaner Lager, still no Iron though...

Day 2 started very shortly after I arrived back at the hotel. "House Keeping..., oh entschuldigen!". Obviously the Maid's are used to normal people going to sleep at normal hours and not going out at 1am. I managed however to get a few more hours sleep, before ringing Arno. We met up for dinner, both nursing hangovers. As Arno's was far worse than mine, I introduced him to the amazing medicinal properties of an ice cold 0.5L of Sprite - worked a treat.

By the time we had finished dinner, it was time to go back to the hotel and get some more sleep - as I was due to DJ at the after party for Get Neon. Headlining at Get Neon was Moonbootica and Pan-pot, needless to say that the clientelle going to this party were going to be the "after party type". After a good sleep and watching repeats of the CNN news articles from the previous day, I got ready and donned a very creased shirt. Seeing as I had succesfully found my way home from the club the night before, I decided to walk this time. Bremen was alive with lots of people drinking in the streets and getting ready to party, alot of which were heading to the ELZ club where get Neon was being held.

I got to the NFF club for about 130am and picked up where we had left off from the night before. Unfortunately I was then given some bad news. The Polizei had recently been to the club and advised that all clubs in Bremen must stop playing music at 4am at the council's request! What a nightmare. We still played music til 4am on the dot and had a great time in the process. More drink was drunk, i left the club at near 6.

Day 3 was similar to day 2, only this time the hotel actually needed the room for someone else (you can kind of guess what time they woke me up). Plan for the day was to go and Watch the Werder Bremen match at the pub, but there just wasn't enough time. There was enough time for a quick tour of the town with Arno and to enjoy the drunken chants of Cologne and Bremen football fans. I then met up with Jan and Kat for some more hangover remidies and then headed to the airport, where my weekend in Bremen ended.

As you can see, I didn't get much in the way of photos. Mainly because I wasn't accompanied by a Photographer like last time and my own camera is crap! I'll take a better one next time, or atleast get someone else to take them! Added to this Blogger.com isn't letting me upload photos at the moment Grrrr

Thanks to everyone who came to the event. And a big thanks to Sven, Arno, Kat and Jan for looking after me all weekend.

KINETIC GROOVE WILL BE RETURNING TO BREMEN IN EARLY 2009 - STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS!
