The biggest meetup yet showed us all how successful ClubtheWorld is for bringing many friends together into a single community! This week alone i have received many PM's from plenty of members thanking us all for introducing them to each other!
Having arrived at The Kerry Man preclub meetup (pub) - BTW Thanx Mr_Moo 4 sorting that out- at around 9 o clock, the night just got better and better. Although the queue was more of a mob and possibly the longest ive ever had to wait to get into a club, it was 110% worth it.
After finally making it through the door after at least an hour, we all walked into The Sanctuary, which was a fantastic venue for Sundissential and without a doubt its true home. The Venue although not the closest to Subway City (Afterssential) was absolutely unbelievable in comparison to DNA (the old Academy Venue). It boasted an incredible chillout room upstairs which we spent a lot of time in. With people sprawled everywhere, ClubTheWorld basically took over the entire bottom section of it (overlooking the main dancefloor downstairs), and there we vegged.
Upon entering the club I was immediatly hit by the electricity that was in the air, the atmosphere was incredible, just another factor which made the night so successful, and having turned to the other CTW people i went in with, the delight on their face was blatantly obvious too.
The first order of the night was to arrange a danceoff to see the true CTW dancing god, unfortunately the messyness was looming and within about half an hour everyone forgot about it and it never really happened. Having asked everyones thoughts on the weekend it came out that instead of dancing all night, people were taking many random missions around the club and chill out room and most of us had a hard time finding each other cos we were always on the move. This of course is no bad thing because i probably walked just over 2 miles over that nite and need the excercise!
The DJ's were absolutely Qualiteeeee and despite the missions and the chilling out, there was an enormous amount of stomping and "lets fookin av it" taking place! Even from the chillout room we had a good view of the DJ's, and it was becoming clear that Rob Tissera (who was amazing) and various other DJ's couldnt keep still either.
For a time CTW members took over the VIP section on stage when Andy Farley (again, phenominal DJ) was rocking everyones world, but we soon got slung off so we took over the front of the dancefloor instead.
And so the next few hours passed in the blink of an eye but it was very eventful, batteredness, stompage and tunage were all flying round the rooms, and that just left us to an enormous queue to get out of The Sanctuary and back to the cars.
Having sat in the cars discussing whether we should do Afterssential, we decided it would be fairly illegal and extremely rude if we were to miss it, so off we went driving in a convoy around the lovely Birmingham getting there fairly easily (thanx Pablo) and having arrived at Subway City we stood in the queue for another hour (GRRRRRR - but not to bad cos i was occupied) and having walked into yet another electric atmosphere, it all began again. After walking round and round and round.... the club and still not being able to [censored] out where all the rooms were, we finally ended up in the main room downstairs for a while, and as that filled up we went upstairs to the Trance Room and ended up taking some great photos with nearly every CTW member present.
Stayed until about 12 o clock ( i think ) and at that very sad moment, our clubbing weekend came to a halt.
THOSE OF YOU WHO MISSED IT, DONT WORRY BECAUSE WERE DOING IT ALL AGAIN IN FEB!!!! - AS WELL AS SUNDISSENTIAL NORTH AFTERWARDS AND CTW MEETUP 3 BEFORE. IF U DIDNT MISS IT THEN I EXPECT YOU'LL WANT TO GO AND REDO THE EXPERIENCE AGAIN.
