Four times nicer

A few weeks ago I had a night to remember.. and it's high time I let the world know about it.

So, the night started with a break dance competition..

..continued with a friend's concert..

.. and then led me to a dramatic theatre play.. at midnight.

After the play, I returned to the concert.. before heading to another bar, where those two moons were lying on the ground - one full and one half-eaten..

Heading home at 5 a.m. had never felt better.

Preaching good music

I couldn't be there, but I'm now listening to a beautiful song that I believe Manic Street Preachers will play tonight at the Brighton Centre.

Oh, and I bet they will do this one as well:

I told you

This is the closest I have been to Danes lately.

And I liked it.

Thanks, Efterklang!

Dreams of Efterklang

I had never heard of Esfterklang before I saw a poster advertising their upcoming concert in Sofia.
First I checked who they were.. then I learnt they are from Denmark.. then I realized they have been around for more than a decade.. Then I typed "Efterklang" in Youtube..

..and that is when I was on my way to buy my concert ticket.

Summer summary

The summer is coming to its end. So are my trips here and there. But my memories have multiplied and I have plenty of (picture) stories for you. Yaaay! Right?

Long story short.., we hopped on the new (company) car..

..and headed to one of my two-ever festivals. I had plenty of a new kind of fun during the concerts, but the sea is where my heart is (you know, "Kateto in search of the sun"...), so naturally, I will tell you a lot more about the trip.. ah, the two trips to the seaside.

Soon after reaching the end of the freshly-built highway, we were at the beach..

..bathing and sunbathing.

Did I mention I ♥ the sun?

One of the seaside vacations was in Bulgaria and the other one in Greece. During the latter one we had a pool by the house and spent plenty of time there..

..since the beaches around were rocky. However, I did not miss to make the best out of that.. Like, by gathering way too many beautiful-when-wet rocks to bring back home.

Of course, we made sure we absorb some of Greece's rich culture.

But the rest of the time was either occupied with eating or.. well, enjoying some free time.

I personally avoided searching for the internet signal..

... and chose to stick to reading..

... or, simply, to hanging around, doing nothing.

Lots of beer was consumed in total..

... as it sometimes happen in warm environments.

Oh, yes! I also took plenty of photos to help the memories stick around for longer.

Awesome summer. Really. Too bad it's almost over. Or.. can I have some more?

Well, what about Summer Well?

As I mentioned, I have loads to share. Another thing I mentioned is that I recently discovered the awesomeness of live music.
Following this introduction, I shall say that two weekends ago I was in Romania for the festival Summer Well. Once again, it was amazing.
However, about the trip and all - later. Now it's time for music.

(Re)discover music

I rarely ever went to concerts until recently.
But since this changed, I am endlessly grateful and happy that I finally discovered this marvelous world of music, sounding in a pretty different way when you can see the artist(s) performing right in front of you.. while the shared energy of the fans around you is charging you with a special kind of positive feeling..
Less than a couple of weeks ago I went for the first time to Spirit of Burgas. Since that's a (pretty cool) festival (in Bulgaria... at the beach(!)), I could enjoy much more than one artist at a time.
Can you imagine.. I heard... and saw.. and felt... I experienced all of the following:
