GRABBYS EUROPE: OPEN DOORS
Chapter VI — XXL CLUB by Melad

Every year during Grabbys there are parties, afterparties, dinners, networking events and award shows.

And then there are the orgies.

The first one I ended up at was the one hosted by @meladmassilia at XXL Club.

By the time I got there, the place was already packed. Creators everywhere. Some I knew well, some I only knew from Twitter, some I'd been trying to meet all weekend. The deeper you went into XXL, the harder it became to keep track of who was where. The summer heat was trapped inside the building, leather and harnesses mixed with loud music, and every room felt busier than the last.

At some point I remember seeing @massivedaddyxxx talking to @viktorromvip while @javieritocobo laughed at something across the room. A few minutes later I'd somehow ended up next to @xltoponly, then ran into @beaugrinsell, then @eliasearth. The night felt like speed-dating for porn stars.

That's the thing nobody tells you about these parties. After a while, names, rooms and conversations start blending together. You stop checking your phone. You stop looking at the time. The outside world disappears.

There were creators from all over Europe packed inside XXL that night: @sergiowildexxx, @cheekysubboy, dzfucke, lukasssxl, sebcadar, @gilded_dragon, @tjtantra, @oris.d, andyscorpion, @bcnudes, @jorgevalerox, @leobulgari, axelblaise, Latino4cumsluts, @mathieu31, @maxangelxxx, cristiantorre277 and @dymondfirexxx.

At one point I looked around and realized I was standing in the middle of what felt like half the Grabbys guest list. Everybody seemed to be exactly where they wanted to be.

By the end of the night, I couldn't have told you who arrived first, who left last, or how many hours had passed.

I only remember walking back up those XXL stairs into the warm Torremolinos night, hearing the moanings fading behind me, with my shithole sore and thinking:

Grabbys had officially started.

And behind every door at Torremolinos, another story was already waiting.
