Pizza Files: Party Time!

Annnnnd I'm back! Sorry for the hiatus folks, we have been experiencing the coldest and wettest winter in Catania in the last 100 years so it's been hard to get out and get some good internet. Other than the weather, things have been great. We downloaded some movies/tv series from another Elephant teammate, and have been watching alot of 'Dexter' and 'Family Guy' while hiding out from the weather. Also, when I return back to the states I will be opening my own cooking school based solely around the prinicples of only being able to use a stove top while still managing to cook up tasty meals... cause that's all we have right now and Team Jormberly is keeling it* in the food prep department! Alright, and now without further delay... It's time to go clubbing!

We decided to go to this house music* club last Saturday to hear a female, German DJ bump some good techno tracks and fist pump like real Italians. It was about 15 minutes outside of Catania so Amberly, Nate, Mathieu (teammate), Jag (head coach), and myself piled into Nate's whip, said our prayers (if you read the Mt. Etna blog, you know why I say this), and all headed out to the club. Here is the dancefloor/stage area before the show.

Another Elephant teammate, Christopher, works there as a bartender so we were able to bypass the lines all night which ended up being great cause it got really crowded once the show started. The DJ was awesome and had everyone on the floor going gnutes*

Now for those of you out there who have never experienced a house music show, there is a lot of fun and excitement about hearing this different genre of music in a live setting that just cant be replicated anywhere else, but it brings out some weirdos...

Now in gold Kanye's defense, it is Carnivale time of year which is basically Mardi Gras over here so he wasn't the only one dressed up, just the weirdest. Just ask this 14 year old boy in a tuxedo...

 Oh wait, that was our female German DJ. This photo doesn't even do her weirdness justice, but she could spin some sick tracks so its tutto bene*.

This is a picture from right in front of the stage. if you have some time, try and pick out how many different people in costumes that you can distinguish. For example, I have picked out 'Jack Sparrow' and a pimp, but I'm still looking for Waldo

And then there are these two Americans making idiots of themselves... But we all had an awesome time and everyone got home safe at the end of the night. We hope you enjoyed our review of nightlife in Catania, and be sure to check below for my new addition to the blog: Jordan's Translations!*

Ciao,ciao,ciao,ciao,ciao,ciao

Keeling it- doing something really good.

House Music-  electronic music that relies more on beats and sounds, than on words and melody

Gnutes (noo-tz)- when something is awesome, it can be described as 'that is nuts'. When something is gnutes, it is even more awesome.

Tutto bene- Italian for 'it's all good'
