I hope they let you guys have the party, because the promoter for the party last night fucked up big time.
at around 10pm they had over 1000 people packed in the lobby trying to get to the 16th floor using only 3-4 elevators (when there was about 24 there). Even the stairs were packed with people trying to get up.
Then around 11-11:30pm, the fire marshal came and shut the party down. They said they were breaking all the fire hazard laws and they didn't have a license for the party or something like that.
Here's the part which may effect you guys... as we were talking to the fire marshal, the promoter comes out to see whats the problem. and the gist of it was: "there will not be another party in this building... and you are never throwing a party again, period."
Anyways, best of luck guys. and if you guys get in, someone please take a few picture of the view and venue for me. I'm very curious to see what it looks like. Thanks.
PS. I don't think I'll be making it down for this event anymore, I'm way to tired after the bullshit from last night. Have fun everyone.
In areas like Kreuzberg and around the Ostbanhof, the selection of clubs and venues is so prodigious you could never hope to catch everything in a month, never mind a few days. Abandoned factories, derelict war bunkers, old cellars. You name it, it's been converted into a venue. The Thursday we arrived, we were fortunate enough to catch electro/house maestros Tiefscwarz (performing at this years Electric Picnic) play live in Club Wockenede - a decadent joint located on the top floor of 14 story office tower in the Mitte district. We stumbled out of the place in shock and awe after the brothers busted up the place for hours with a gritty and edgy electro to a backdrop of panoramic views of the Berlin nightscape.

The NYE party was very poorly organized.
A few of my friends talked to a few people that made it to the top after they had been kicked out of the 16th floor, and they were saying it was a pretty small venue and that there was no way they could fit everyone in there (approx. 2000 people)
Looks like someone over sold tickets without checking the room capacity.
