3D disco

Saturday we went out for the first time in ages. It was the last night of the festival of La Batie, so out we had to go to the temporary Batie night club at Palladium, where once past the doormen we received 3D glasses and felt a bit perplexed. Many trials later looking stupidly around we decided that these glasses were un-useful this evening, but still kept them around.

Luckily. A bit after midnight, the room got darker, the music changed slightly and 3D videos started to play on screens all around the dance floor. My camera was left at home regretfully since looking backwards on the hundreds of people sporting white paper 3D glasses while semi-dancing was hilarious.

It was fun. Not a concept to be adopted for every night out. But different, so fun for a night. Dancing to some quite good music while having things jumping out onto you from the screens was fun. Well for 30 minutes or so. Then the glasses went off and we just danced for a while.

The 80s just don't seem to go away do they. Plankstek in Stockholm (a kind of dish very popular in the 80s), 3D in movie theatres all over the world, socks in high-heeled shoes, and now 3D discos. What's next?
