Enigma's 5th

 

Enigma turns five years old, and holds a huge night to celebrate.

 

First off, if the pictures on this page look crap, then I'm sorry. They look well dodgy in my web browser, for some reason. It may be my settings, it looks like they've been converted into 256 colours...

Anyhow, if they do look crap, you can download a .zip file of the pictures by clicking here. Hope this solves things.

Anyway, Nase_2K and I are going to tell you about it.

I'll bring my chair closer.

Oooooh.

I thought we were going to the Compasses.

Not yet. We'll talk about Enigma first.

When did we go there, then?

Fifth Birthday? Mean anything?

What - when I was five?

No! For fucks sake... Enigma's fifth birthday?

Oh yeah.

Remember now?

What, you mean the place with the phat laser, wikkid lights, bangin' choons...

Acrobats, fetish dancers, stilt walkers...

The sisters Of Mercy, huge aliens, fire breathers...

Tatooists, body jewel artists, electronic violinists, and Bongo Ted!

Bongo Ted!

Bit good, wasn't it?

/Nase_2K nods.

This was a lot easier when we were at work and not waiting to go to the pub, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Stop saying one-word sentences so I have to think of something to say!

Sorry.

Okay. Well so are the people reading this. Any how, Enigma...

Okay, let's start from the beginning of the evening. We got to 'Nigma at 20:45, queued up and got in fairly quick.

For 12 dollor.

16 dollor.

That's because you lost your membership card, though.

Yeah, fair enough, but I rang them up and they didn't send me one - even though TWH got hers...

Digressing for a second, we went to Milton Keynes and picked up four Glo-Sticks for a bar. We get into Enigma and what happens?

They're selling the fuckers for 2 dollor! We could have got ten for a bar!

Bastards. And we've just realised we missed Club Classics on Thursday.

Bastards!

We love Club classics! And it's only on twice a year!

/Nase_2K looks unhappy.

Grr... Anyway. We purchased drinks, hit the shots bar, drank, drank some more...

And then we danced to the choons being pushed out by Dave Bergin.

For about six hours.

Non-stop.

Man, did my feet hurt the next day...

Your feet? What about my knuckles?

What about the Cloak queue?

/Nase_2K points angrily at the screen.

Don't talk to me about the bloody cloak queue, I very nearly wrote to Enigma today, but on reflect of the good night I had, I'll let them off just this once.

Hah! He thinks he had it bad - I had to stand outside with two cold women!

You could have stayed inside.

I thought you'd only be about ten minutes... You were an hour and a half!

I thought it would have been ten minutes, otherwise I would have stayed at the bar and sent TWH to get her own coat.

And Tams.

I did get a strange look when I handed over her ticket.

You're not really the little grey womans jacket type, are you, mate?

That picture has just reminded me of how wikkid the laser was...

Year, the large laser next to the large lights.

And the laser spelt out "Happy Birthday Good Times".

That was clever.

Hello, Lord High resolution... Sure beats our laser, don't it?

It does. Although if Bruno is reading - if you've got any second hand ones you like to give away, send me a mail on Nase_2K@Yahoo.co.uk...

So, in closing - Better or worse than the forth birthday?

I thought the fourth birthday was better. Don't know why.

I liked the fifth one. Which obviously makes you wrong.

No.

I think it does, because I'm typing.

Ah yes, I agree. You are indeed God.

That's right. Bye everybody.

Bye.
