There's music all around. Heat, dancing, small venue. People in animal costumes and people with long green coats. The crowd is singing, shrieking, dancing loudly and everyone is in tune. A panda collapses and the music stops.
From the stage water is passed into the audience in plastic pint glasses. People take a sip and pass it backwards. No one worries about spiked drinks or germs; we're all there together.
I've long since lost my friend but I've made a new friend. We barely speak all night but the connection is there.
At the end of the night I go home with a big green hand and my new friend goes home with my email address on his arm.
This is a long moment but it's one of those evenings you never forget.
