i have suddenly been invited/required to attend a series of parties at various moscow clubs. the problem with going clubbing in this city is it is often more stress than pleasure, and i dont really see why i should overstress myself at the weekend when i am stressed already during the week.
for some reason, moscow clubs feature men in expensive suits who arrive in SUVs, preferably hummers. as they are wearing flipping suits, obviously they cannot really dance. so instead people sit around and stare at each other, seeing whose suit/ skanky outfit cost more. oh, and then there are the obnoixous bouncers who gave moscow its reputation for feis control. so the whole thing is pretentious and i see it as a bit of a drag. and in addition to all the supposed flash and pretention, the people still sometimes behave like peasants. vladimir, oleg and co. has decided to make a party in my honour at zhizn zamechatelnih ludei...and i cant really miss my own party. then another company has decided to have a party celebrating its 10th birthday at diagalev (reserving three tables cost 15,000 dollars, with a discount. and that is just for the reservation and a complementary champagne.....the food is extra....extra like in the hundreds) and then i am supposed to go with collegues/friends to first....unfortunately i am going to first this weekend, not last weekend when apparently madonna was there.....oh well.
i just got a bag at furla...it is consolation for having to go to these places. Kashmar.

so first still up and running... what about leto zima osen? that´s the one thing i don´t miss about moscow, i was so tired of all that pafosni shit and the adoration of the wrong values. berlin is so much cooler on that side, there is no face control and a huge club scene for everybody. in this city money is not an issue (most people are unemployed artists or writers or just doing nothing, like me. if i return to moscow, i'm not sure i would go back to first. is pasha face control still the most powerful man after luzhkov?
havent been to leto zima osen, but i gather it is around. i only go to such places when required. we had several office parties over the past few weeks (energy company where i have been working had its 10th aniversary etc)
and when the boss is paying 15,000 for the table alone, and my name is on the list, feis control leave me alone. (and i dont go out otherwise, because i really would prefer to stay home and read...but then i am a nerd)
