Since we got here, we have been planning a night out with the cousins in celebration for several things. One, its Daivins birthday (son of Elisa and Frank). Two, Jessicas boyfriend, Niko, will be DJing. Three, John and I are leaving Melbourne in a few days. We decided that we would all go to see and support Niko, while celebrating Daivins birthday and having a good-bye celebration at the same time. Well, tonight was the big night!
Everyone came out! Silvia and Paul, Lawrence, Antoinette, Jessica and her friends, Daivin and his girlfriend, and Justine even got Jov and Elena to come out as well. It was near Fitzroy where we had gone before with Nadia. It was a smaller club called Johnston, but still nice. The music that Niko mixes is like a reggae, techno/jazz thing. Totally different then what we normally listen to, but has such a great rhythm to it. You feel like your in Jamaica.
Even though the club was smaller, the dance floor was still packed. People were dancing everywhere. It was great to see everyone just let loose. John said it perfectlythe people dancing look like how its supposed to be. They dont care who is watching, they just let the music move their bodies. I totally agreed. It was such an eclectic crowd of people, some looked like Aussie-Rastafarians with their dread locks and beanies. Others were all dressed up but wearing sneakersperfect for dancing in. Either way, John and I had a great time with everyone. This time we didnt forget the camera and we got some great pictures!
