To balance out the nerdy oil/gas talk on this blog:
It's the weekend tomorrow and I'm going here: Amsterdam Dance Event!
Weekends are good. It's been weeks since I have been out dancing so am very excited.
Slight problem: too much choice.
We haven't quite figured out yet what club and/or dj to go to...
[update]
We ended up at the Sugar Factory for some 'world grooves', whatever those may be. I think we were there much too early, but by the time we left at about 23:30 there was still nothing going on except a DJ playing fairly relaxed, lounge-like tunes. The stage was packed with instruments, which were mostly decorative. For part of the evening, one guy used some of the various percussion instruments in turn. Nothing actually happened though.
We left to go to the More which was okay, a night of general house-type of music. Good enough to dance to, but nothing too exciting.
Maybe I'm too picky when it comes to good dance music but I hardly ever find anywhere that makes for a fantastic party. If any Amsterdam readers are out there (I know you are...), recommendations please?
All in all it was nevertheless a fun night. It's always fun to catch up with my friend, and as usual we started the evening with good food. It was also some much-needed distraction... I heard back from amazing-job-nr-2; it looks like I'll have to start looking for new fabulous-sounding vacancies again as these guys don't even want me to come in for an interview. Pretty frustrating... my CV is a near-perfect match to the vacancy, but still it's not good enough. I know, I'm way too impatient.... This is not fun though.
Oh well, I will think about that again after this week, which will be packed with painting & wallpapering & unpacking in my new house. Yay :D

How can I figure out when and where DJ Tiësto gonna play? Maybe not this time, but in the near future?
Bonny, I don't really know a good site for club listings. You could try general sites such as Ticketmaster. Tiesto is a big enough name to appear in the mainstream listings I think.
Actually, there's a gig listed for him on Dec 3. Don't know if that helps?
I don't know trance too well, but the one time that I saw Tiesto (which was quite some time ago, when he wasn't as internationally famous yet as he is now) it was very impressive!
Thanx!
