Last night (May 18) was the eco-themed club night held at the Waldorf Tiki Lounge. The place is perfect for a night like this with two rooms complete with palm trees, eerie masks and bamboo wall coverings. The event cost a mere $12 at the door ($10 if you pre purchased) and started out with a screening of Thin Ice. The documentary features the life of the Inuit and how climate change is drastically affecting their way of living. Where conditions are the most cold and extreme, these people are seeing first hand how rapidly our warming planet is changing and realise just how important it is to protect it.
Following the film, DJ Timothy Wisdom kicked in the jams, stirring lethargic environmentalists from their cushy seats. DJ Wisdom mixed a variety of music for all sorts of tastes from hip hop, to house, some old school and even some new school like Lily Allen. After every one's dancing feet were warmed up Third Eye Tribe brought the funk to the house with a positive message to lift spirits. Sadly not many people were dancing, although perhaps if there were more nights like this, word would spread bringing more of the eco-friendly and eco-curious out to play in the name of positive change.
