Summary

A masked stranger in Berlin claims he's been partying for 72 straight hours and won't stop until Monday. He left his house Wednesday. When Kareem asks why this is fun, the response is blunt: "I didn't say it's fun." But someone has to do it to keep club culture alive, and he's the guy. The routine is simple: ride the train, listen to music, hit a club, then an after hour, then another club, then another after hour. Rinse and repeat. He met his wife at an after hour. Kareem points out that laying in bed looking at your phone sounds pretty similar to an after hour, just with fewer people. The stranger invites Kareem to join him that night at 3 a.m. Kareem accepts. Welcome to Berlin.
