And this is where I say grandma is starting to tell stories from before the war. It's okay, Grandma, let's get you to bed. So my first Berghain experience was not Berghain, it was Ostgut.
Richtig, exactly.
No photos, so you get your stickers on. Can't take any pictures in there. It doesn't matter what kind of performance or whatsoever you're going, it's always stickered. Here, look, this.
Yes.
Those are, like, um... I mean, they're, like, mostly neon-colored. And you see, there's a yellow one. Yeah, there's a bunch. There's an orange one.
Yeah.
Not that I know of, because, I mean, look at it. You have barbed wire, you have cameras there at the door.
Let's talk about any bouncer in the city.
I know it's a very delicate topic, very delicate, because you select. And selecting people has a very bad ring to it. Very bad. Very, very bad. Also, the selector, calling it a selector, has a very Nazi ring to it as well. That's really bad. I've always thought that, yes. Really bad, yeah. So I don't want to say that term because it's nasty. And given our history, even worse.
The thing is, which makes it so delicate, is that they decide about you within milliseconds. Not even seconds, but like less than that. Like in a very, very short amount of time. They look at you, they check you out, and then decide, do you fit tonight? Not just in general, do you fit tonight or not? And then they might ask questions. Hey, where are you coming from? How old are you?
Or who's playing? They ask a lot, like, who's playing tonight? Just to see if they're really into the music. But they really decide how the party's gonna turn out. The thing is, in my club life, I kind of grew up with bouncers. It's a weird thing to say, but I always felt like every part of the club is very important, not only the DJ. And I was always very fond of the bouncers.
I always became friends with them, different clubs in the city, and stood there with them. and realized how much trouble they have to go through, like how much hate they get. And that's why they also have to be a bit more strict and kind of the feel of being intimidating. But usually they're not. And usually, very, very important, a good bouncer is a very smart person, by the way.
It's not a dumb, whatever, broad person that was just casted out of the gym with big muscles. No, not at all. The best bouncers are super smart people.
Does the line go much, much farther back? It's just going to lead the way to where the line sometimes goes to.
Yeah, probably. I mean, the longest my husband waited with his friends was seven hours. Seven hours? That was the day where two guys got rejected and he and his good friend got in.
Well, yeah, you go in and like, you know, our favorite DJ was playing. So it was so funny because I was just, I was walking a friend to the train station and I came back and walked in just 20 minutes after him, after he had waited for seven hours.
No, I wasn't on the list.
That's the thing about knowing bounces quite well, you know? And belonging, I guess.
The thing is, I would say at the moment, Shruti would get in and you would be rejected.
You look so American.
