you know i don't usually do this. but this party - like the virgins, at chłodna25 - was a work of art in its own right.

imagine a madonna-tribute event gone haywire. gone insane. gone absolutely wild, illogical, ending up deep into the night somewhere between abba, death metal and improvised polish hip-hop. with a stage that is only a stage as far as you want it to be one, with musicians changing all the time, most singers not knowing most of the lyrics, but making it somehow seem perfectly logical, and blasting our way into the night.

imagine a stage progressively invaded by members of the audience, imagine not being sure if you're still part of the audience, or the fact that you're singing your guts out with one foot on the stage and one of the several microphones extended towards you every once in a while make you part of the band already. oh, that's right: we're all part of the band. and surprizingly enough (not so much if you realize how amazing were the musicians involved), it was the best thing that could have ever happened to the concept of tributes.

fotinhas.

human experience is complex, and a party is a contradiction, there's always joy and sadness in the air. and, what with all the energy and intoxicants, all of those things are heightened. at 3 am, a sort of desperation is in the air, people are still dancing and having fun, high or drunk, all is good. but it's time to make decisions, [the] night is coming to an end, what now? go home alone, take someone home, go to an afterparty because there's nothing else to do, or go to an afterparty because you don't want it all to end?

not to mention the whole anatomy of desire - both sexual and hedonistic, and desire as wanting more from life than what you have at the moment. you go out, and you're a star - and then you return to your shitty tenement studio. so there's more than enough conflict there, in thought and emotion, to make nightlife an interesting subject - so many layers.

cientistas andaram se debruçando sobre o cérebro de pessoas sociais - aquelas que têm um milhão de amigos, arranjam novos com facilidade, se preocupam com os outros e reagem calorosamente na presença do próximo.

me identifiquei. não tem nada mais importante na minha vida - dinheiro, trabalho, viagem - do que as pessoas que estão nela. dinheiro se gasta, trabalho se troca, viagens terminam. pessoas são inesgotáveis, em quantidade e qualidade. pessoas ficam, mesmo quando desaparecem.

it's not clear that anatomical differences are a cause, rather than an effect, of social interactions. but the team concluded that some brains are simply better equipped to enjoy the company of others.

(...)

"it's interesting that the degree to which we find social interaction rewarding relates to the structure of our brains in regions that are important for simple biological drives such as foods, sweet liquids and sex. perhaps this gives us a clue to how complex features like sentimentality and affection evolved from structures that in lower animals originally were only important for basic biological survival processes," research leader dr. graham murray, of the university of cambridge in england, said in a cambridge university news release.

comida, bebidas adocicadas e sexo? três elementos fundamentais para uma boa festa - algo que pessoas sociais adoram (considerando que sexo inclui manifestações eróticas socialmente amigáveis, como um flerte ou uma ficada. senão não é festa, é orgia! e orgia pode atrair diversos outros modelos cerebrais).

se liga nisto. é tipo uma katylene do hype!

hoje, na brasa, meu joão & zédoroque recebem nado leal e rodrigo sha.

o povo não pára de mandar nome pra lista amiga.

amanhã, avisado, estou lazy. mas o blog da festa vai contar tudo!

no meu flickr, fotos da edição passada. prometo melhoras com a câmera.

de férias nas quintas e sextas subseqüentes, naturalmente.

sdc invented an energy generating dance floor that converts the movement of the dancing crowd into electricity and uses this power to change the appearance of the floor's surface. all visuals are a continuous real-time interaction between the clubbers on the floor made visible, allowing every individual's actions to contribute to the collective experience.

não é incrível? já existe uma em roterdam.

os flyers precisam ser bastante persuasivos: com poucas pessoas a noite não consegue nem começar.

e meu irmão tá aqui do lado contando que um amigo dele já foi a uma rave sem música - todo mundo dançando com headphones apenas.

deve ser uma merda para se arranjar. imagina o cara chegando numa garota. a menos que exista um microfone que plugue nos fones do outro, será preciso tirá-los para conversar, e o silêncio deve ser bem desanimador.

it turns out that the physics of breast motion have been studied closely for the last two decades by a gamut of researchers, most of them women (...) lajean lawson, a former professor of exercise science at oregon state university, has studied breast motion since 1985 and now works as a consultant for companies like nike to develop better sports bra designs. lawson explained that breasts move on three different axes: from side to side, front to back, and up and down. the most motion is generated on the vertical axis. naturally, the bigger the breast, the more momentum it generates.

você não quer perder a história completa. believe me.

tem também o carregador de bateria de telefone alimentado por movimentos de dança. esse aí vai ser testado no festival de glastonburry esta semana.

vai ser o êxtase.

sábado que vem: ide!
