Finally---My successful journey to Boogie Wonderland: the light up floor disco.



























After having my hopes of dancing to disco tracks on top of a light up disco floor dashed by Boogie Wonderland being closed for a private function,  a second adventure was necessary.  This time, I would go the right way--- I hiked around Auckland and amassed an impressive collection of disco paraphernalia, including  a bright pink afro wig from Russia, a package of mini disco balls, a purple and black checkered tie, pink disco glasses, and glow sticks. It was time to boogie.

I managed to recruit other people to join my disco quest. We all dressed up to fully participate in the 1970's experience. It was a bit ironic when we arrived to the disco club playing the hits of 1985. But, it was a disco club with LIGHT UP FLOORS, ie the best invention ever (yes, I think even better than spaceships and meatballs).

On the way there, we passed the Auckland Town Hall, which had a bunch of different patterns projected onto it as part of some celebration.  We also had to stop at mutliple sites along Queen street to flaunt our disco poses.  Drivers honked at our sexy disconess, and they were probably mad that they were not about to experience  discotastic light up floor dancing.  Along the way, we found a very nice office chair on the side of the road....and struck disco poses.

We entered the club to the sounds of fun, and were immediately treated to EPIC disco balls, blinking lights, and of course, THE LIGHT UP DISCO FLOOR! YES!

While we happened to be the youngest ones there, we also happened to be the best dressed. In fact, I think we were the only group of people to fully dress up in disco garb---although there was this one older guy who made an honest attempt with a scarf tied around his head.

We danced and danced, and then danced some more. There was a cool mini light up stage that we took turns on too.

I think I'll let the photos do the rest of the story telling. DISCOTASTIC EPIC FUN.
