Facebook recently overtook Orkut as the Number One social media engine in Brazil, so it makes sense that a Brazilian would endeavor to open up a nightclub based around the social media site.
Everything you love about Facebook is there in the Amazonian jungle, including its logos and its Likes.

“The Facebook concept is about sharing ideas, adventures, friendships, parties and photos with your friends,” Facebook nightclub’s 30-year-old founder Humbert Camacho told the UK Guardian. “So what we wanted to do was to build a nightclub with this concept, where people could come and share things with their friends, spend a cool night, sharing pictures, experiences and have fun.”

The Facebook nightclub is located in the town of Epitaciolândia, near the Bolivian border in the Brazilian Amazon. Camacho said in the Guardian article that expectations in town “are huge” for the club, and that people who aren’t able to join the party at the physical Facebook will be will still be able to enjoy it vicariously through the original, virtual version.
“We are going to have our own official Facebook page so people coming to the nightclub can share pictures in real time,” he said. “People who can’t make it will be able to sit at home and see what the party is like.”
Camacho also operates another club, called Insomnia, just over the border in Bolivia. He told the Guardian that giving his Brazilian venture a different title was an easy choice, because “we were looking for a name that was trendy, that people would talk about. We thought: ‘Facebook: everyone talks about Facebook.’ It’s about having fun, poking and sharing.”
So if you are in the Facebook nightclub in Brazil, you can update your status on Facebook to read: “I’m in Facebook!”
