We're on the list

So, before we write a blog about our adventures in Vienna, Austria as a whole, we thought we should dedicate a whole blog to this one event.

Our friend, Tina, invited us out to a club called U4. It has a special event on Tuesdays and even though people in most countries normally don't leave to go to a club until after 11 or 12, if you aren't there before 11, you won't get in because it is too full. Fortunately for us, we were on the list.

When we got there, we walked up past some 150-200 people waiting in line to get in, and it was 10:30. Tina went straight up to another line (and by line we mean 3 people) and stated her name to the guy holding the list. At this point we felt like we were in the movies as he waved us on. Tina informed us that he was new since he checked our ID's and asked for Tina's name, which normally wouldn't have happened because everyone knows her there. In the VIP line, they were handing out free shots as we walked in.

Once we got inside, Tina was greeted by the owner of the club, Thomas, who then invited us for drinks downstairs. We went downstairs and found that the club was split into two areas, both with different types of music, so you could walk between them or hang out in the room of your favorite dance music all night. Tina knew everyone, and we mean everyone. She went up behind the DJ bar to say hi to the DJ and the lights man with the typical kisses on the cheek that reminded us once again of those VIP people in hollywood films.

Thomas returned to us later, presenting John with two beers, just for himself, and brought us behind the bar, had us fill a bunch of glasses with ice, and then walk over to the roped off VIP section. We hung out there for most of the night, John happy out with his beers, and me with vodka and red bull. Oh, did I mention we didn't pay a dime?

The music was great, the place was packed and we all had a blast! Now, John probably wants to tell you his impressions so I'll hand the keyboard to him:

Now we all dream about being treated like we are important when we go out, however the reality is it never happens, well to me anyway, probably has something to do with me not being a pretty girl...possibly. So when something like that happens it is AWESOME. Tina was incredibly kind for getting us in ahead of everyone else, as most people know this only happens me normally when I SKIP the line. I kind of thought that was it in terms of the nights perks but it got better and better. When we went in we meet the club owner who was a sound guy, we got chatting later on, you know yourself, trying to make connections for the next time we are back in Vienna. I'm pretty sure Tina said hi to the entire staff of the club. We then spent the night sipping on free beer and vodka, just hanging in the VIP area, it was Frecking Awesome. Thank you Tina.
