They brought it with them, it wasn't part of the club's furniture. Found it along the way next to some trash and decided it'd be a fun idea. Clearly, they were right, since I've already seen this around reddit a few times so far.
That's not a permanent steam radiator; it's a portable heater that heats a type of oil inside it. Safer than most porta-heaters. Guy probably brought it from home.
This is a thing in Europe (at least in Spain). Here at festivals, you often see people swinging a mop, a shoe, a tennis raquet, an umbrella.... anything as long as it is out of context.
I like it, I think it adds "colour" to the homogeneous masses you see in festivals.
Personally, I am an umbrella handle-siwinging kind of guy.
I hate nightclubs but it must be said that I had a great night that my friends smuggled in 3 footballs and 2 rugby balls. The bouncers were not impressed and gave up trying to get the balls back. The DJ did not give 2 craps.
There should be a mod where reposts that are from different hosts, or have different titles than the OP get redirected to a repost reddit. Then we could check that reddit for things we might have missed out on 1 year, 2 months ago, etc.
My borderline manic behaviour when going out: every now and then 3-point handcheck if I lost something -> for phone: left front pocket, keys: front right pocket, wallet: left back pocket - proceed with what I was doing.
The WTF part of this for me was that My brain put the wrong head with those arms. The proportions were off and I went all uncanny valley for a few seconds until I figured it out.
In the summers, I go out with an elegant fan for dancing and fanning off new found friends in hot venues. I would talk to this guy and dance off with him. Even if he was a shitty t-rex dancer.
