"todo se arreglaría bailando"

^my amigo pablo's idea for world peace, and also an accurate description of our night yesterday. epic.
since i don't think i can accurately describe our experience at bunker last night even in english, i'm not going to dare try and do it in spanish. greatest misfortune of my trip to chile thus far is definitely the fact that cameras are prohibited in bunker, so no images of the craziness exist.
but, let's start from the beginning. last night the rain stopped just in time for analís, victor (su hermano chileno), and i to walk to meet pablo and tamara. on the way we grabbed some coffee for late-night stamina, and analís brought along some cheesecake, just for kicks :), and after finding our two amigos and a quick stop at the unimarc for some ron (still not sure what type of alcohol this is, typical) and coke we all headed to javi's house for a previa (pregame en español). we spent an enjoyable three or four hours just hanging out, listening to music from duffy to elvis, talking about reality tv, and learning some key dance moves in preparation for the night's festivities. around 2am we made the trek to bunker (the club where sergio works), where the night's theme was fiesta electronica. after gaining free entrance by mentioning that i was "la invitada de sergio-uhh i mean petra", we ducked through the bunker-like door to find the fiesta already in full swing. and this is when i reeeeeally wish the camera had been in use- this was a scene like none i have ever encountered. huge room, bar scene in the back and stage in front with the dance floor in between. raging electronic beats made more electric by the rows of psychadelic-patterned plasma screens, laser lights from all corners, and 8 glittering disco balls as central decor (one of which was as tall as me). on the front stage the two djs and anywhere from one to ten dancers/performers/drag queens at a time, all dressed to impress, complemented by five smaller stages with metal chains/cagelike construction around the edges of the dance floor that were sometimes occupied by more drag queens, sometimes by adventurous audience members (including at one point pablo and analís haha). population approximately 85% men and 95% gay (ourselves as the main exception to this), all dancing and enjoying the show. petra (sergio) in all her glory, quite the sight to behold haha. all in all a crazy and so so fun night, with the 5am treat of a free ride home from sergio instead of a $12 taxi. does life get any better than this?
