So our expectations were a bit high.
We travelled from St. Petersburg to Moscow by Sapsan train, and although it's approx. 700km, we did it in about 4 hours. Great trainride btw. Deluxe! We got served food and drinks, and it was better than most flights.
When we arrived at Moscow, we were picked up by Yury ( from JE Crew ). The drive to the city was about 45min. ( with the crazy ass Moscow traffic! )
The hotel we stayed in was called Oksana, and it was not too far from the club ( north from the city ). The rooms were okay although we had a one person bed ( it was a while ago I slept in an one person bed lol ). The rest was fine though.
We waited for my man John ( Dj Nexes ) and Pavlenty ( Dj Nail ) to go to the restaurant. We all wanted to go to eat sushi, so we went to
Тануки ( Tanuki in English ) avery stylish Japanese restaurant which was all in Japanese theme .. even the waitresses. Very cool.
The food was more than delicious. We had plenty of maki's, and some special dishes like tofu. We also had fun talking, because we have never met Dj Nexes before.
Before we went to the club, it was time to get ready in the hotel. A quick refresh and off we go !
Monaclub was just around the corner, so this time no long drive. It was pretty much Dj Nexes' turn to play so we could say hi to people we already knew .. so cool to see lots of people who we already saw in april. Hardcore people worldwide are always dedicated to hardcore, that's the beauty of the scene !
After John's set ( which was very energetic and raw, I loved it ! ) it was time for us to rock the stage ! Again, it was not super crowded, but the people who were there partied like it should be ! Much much respect to the Moscow hardcore scene !
Although we were a bit tired of the night before, on stage I got so much energy from the people there that I was all hyped up ! After that, we drunk some with the anniversary crew ( JE ! ) and signed lots of t-shirts, cellphones and entry tickets. It was awesome really ! For me, at the moment, the best dedicated hardcore crowd lives in Moscow!
After the club closed, we were safely brought to our hotel for a good night sleep.
The next day our plane left at 10PM so there was still time to see the city. I actually wanted to see bunker42, but for some reason we couldn't because you had to book it in front. Because of
John's first time in Moscow, we had planned to be tourists again and so we went to the famous Red Square and some other sightseeings. That part of Moscow always looks awesome ! The GUM department store looked very nice with all the christmas decoration! We took some nice pictures, and just chatted.
After a long day in the cold, it was time for a hot Starbucks coffee and our trainride back to the Airport. It was a very cool weekend!
I hope we get invited again in 2013 because Moscow is pure hardcore for us ! The scene is incredible !
Again I uploaded some pictures from my iPhone so you can see a bit of our trip :
