Decided to go down and check this out yesterday....
Did some research before hand and sent a message through facebook requesting an invitation first.
I didnt have time to check a reply but all turned out ok.
Great venue and loved the music etc. Luciano didnt show till after 9pm when it was dark which was a disappointment.
Getting in was fine, went the back way and a bouncer told us to leave and go round the front depite me telling him i was on Joseph's guest list. I asked to shower my feet off at the side and then said i would be on my way. Then he just left me to it so i walked straight in the back way with my 3 friends.
Being in there a while it became evident everyone else had wrist bands, fearing i may be noticed i walked out to the front gate and politely asked for a band and said i had been in the venue all day. At first they declined saying i wasnt dressed appropriately pointing at my vest!
I said i was on Josephs guest list but they didnt check it. Another kind doorman said 'this is how english dress' and the wrist band was applied!
Funny but it worked at least ( i was in long camo shorts and a vest, nothing offensive i though!)
So bands on we left and got some cheap drink down us before returning.
Noticed Sven Vath in the bar upon our return and i approached him for a photo opportunity saying 'Excuse me Sir, i am sorry to bother you but id like you to know Cocoon is my favourite night and i have been every year since 2003! Then i asked if he would have a photo with me.
And he just said 'no' and turned around.
I was a bit miffed by that response! I mean i understand, maybe he didnt want to do a photo cos others would notice and then he'd spend half his night having them done but i thought he might have been a bit more polite!
never mind tho, got a quality pic of him later on!
all in all its a great party, and its free! not difficult to get in either! very easy to sneak in.
turned out i was on the guestlist anyway tho, had a response on facebook verifying it
