Art After Dark and Fever

Last month I posted about a party at the Guggenheim Museum called Art After Dark. A lot of us didn't get to go because it was sold out, well I made a point of going this month. We took a little siesta after our field trip and then got ready to party in style. My group and I didn't make it til pretty late, but it was okay because there actually wasn't much to do. There were lights and a DJ making for some sort of mingling and "dancing" if you can call it that. We went around taking pictures with the different art exhibits in the museum instead, like the LED lights below, they turned out really cool :)

Then we went upstairs and watched the party from above and met a few other international students. One guy was French and ended up being pretty friendly going against normal French stereotypes. It may have been his choice of drinks that night as well... While talking to us he mentioned this "serpiente" that he was told about by another Spanish man. All I could think of was the steel artwork downstairs called "Time and Matter" where there was a big curvy part in the middle. No idea how I thought of it, but we brought our new friend down there and he was very pleased ha.

I assumed the "Serpiente" was that curved piece in the middle

And then the museum fiesta came to a close. It wasn't as classy as I expected, but hey, now I get to say I partied in the Guggenheim. With our admission to Art After Dark we also got free cover into a nightclub called Fever. Of course, with the nightlife of Spainards the club didn't open until 2am, but we decided to go check it out. On the way we hoped to find Telepizza, some other international guys thought it was Mexican when we asked them? But it closed twenty minutes before we got there... so we trekked on to the club.

 Ladies at the Guggenheim

The metro took us to a pretty shady looking factory town, but there were hoards of people heading there too so I wasn't too worried. The club was in an actual renovated factory building and had about three different rooms going on all at once, each with different music and a different bar. But talj about sausage fest... pardon my language... but it was all guys! And they weren't even attractive guys... I'll just say that the fun and techno music only lasted so long until I was ready to go. We called a taxi that took forever to show up and when it did I had to fend some girls off so that I could get home before 5am! Overall I can say I had a really fun night, don't think I'll need to do Art After Dark or Fever again, I'll just check them off my list of experiences.
