another awesome party last night/this morning courtesy of our like minded genius friends at offshore. there aren’t that many good pictures of the party itself, but indi, as usual, managed to get a few before it was ‘too late’.

i like this a lot and i hope that it keeps happening. these parties are amazing: the venues, the people it draws, the music they play. offshore is really trying to take partying in colombo to another level and are succeeding increasingly. they’re trying to move it out of these hick clubs we all get stuck going to under the influence of boredom and most often other people, they’re trying to take it beyond alcohol and music and dancing: they’re turning it into a whole new experience that exceeds the normal boundaries of what ‘fun’ really is.

eventually, the place fills up and everyone is happy. the kind of person that comes to these parties doesn’t care : they don’t care what anyone else is wearing or how anyone else is dancing. everyone is caught up in their own madness and is more than happy to spread the happy vibe generously around. no one gets drunk and gets into brawls, everyone is more than happy to party and let party, to live and let live. the feeling in the air is hard to ignore and the awesome music makes it hard to not want to move. with the offshore parties, partying itself is turning into something we’ve never experienced before. it’s growing up, becoming more sophisticated and yet more realxed, its becoming more extravagant but more carefree. they’re slick and well organized and they know exactly who they’re catering to and how to deliver.

rock on.
