How far can you go to enjoy some good music?

On Friday 1st of August I (together with a couple of hundreds) visited Vicki park in East London to listen to Tiesto. Admittedly there was a good vibe and almost everyone was dancing. I am not sure if the music was that great, however one thing which is profound with house music is that the crowd account big part for the experience.

PS: Even though it was not mentioned in the brochure the show included acrobatics as you can see in the picture

When are the saints go marching in?

According to Louis Armstrong "when the sun refuse to shine". In New Orleans though the sun is a common visitor.

Arriving a week after the Mardi Gras, the city was still recovering from the 2005 Celebrations. You could see the colorful beads hanging from fences, or thrown in the corners of Bourbon St. The women were tired to raise their sleeveless shirts for another set of beads and the men content from having seen so many breasts would take it easy in one of the numerous bars of the city. Well at least this was the case in the french quarter. I trust you know already that city of New Orleans is split in two quarters, the French (the touristic) and the American (the rough).

So what is the city's color? What color do the 100$ chips have in Harrah's casino? Purple of course from the LSU Tigers.

As for bar suggestions don't expect any. The night we went to Snug Harbor two of the guys fell asleep during the performance (for a good reason).



We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)

1896 by Katharine Purvis (lyrics) and James Milton Black (music)
