Children of the Night


Swirling spot lights of magenta and actinic blue cascade over the crowd. We are entranced by the rhythmic beat of electronic “house” and the undulating waves of humans in motion.  The collective movement on the dance floor between couples, and gregarious clusters of three-somes and four-somes, is expressive and closely physical. Gazing from a balcony perch we are content to be voyeurs, but are gradually drawn to the vortex, and thus descend.  The Downward Spiral  brings us Closer. 

Every once in a while we are motivated to go into the city and do more than sit and eat, or sit and drink. Music and dance are the catalysts for a bit of physicality, and we subscribe to the notion: “gotta move the bones when you’re feeling the jones”.  Our preference is for live music, but have no issue with a DJ’s handy work. We had a lot of fun at the upscale night club The Estate in Boston last Saturday night. The dance music was infectious and the vibe was positive. Once we got into the music and the moment, we were down on that floor, writhing along with everybody else. The spectrum of ages and ethnic mix made for an eclectic crowd. It was a good turn out and the dance floor was jammed to the point random body contact with someone other than your dance partner was inevitable.  No one cared. Clearly, everyone was transported to a special place; feeding off the music and collective energy. We got our fix, and are “good” for now. But we will venture out again.
