Such a difference over the years...

2006:“Would you like to go to the Fȇte de la Musique?” “Yeah, I guess, I mean we should party as long as we still can!”

2007: “Would you like to go to the Fȇte de la Musique?” “Are there any concerts? Anyway, I will not go, my parents don’t want me to go out much, they’re afraid something will happen.” 2008: “Would you like to go to the Fȇte de la Musique?” “What, there are concerts? No way! Who knows what will happen!”

2009: “Would you like to go to the Fȇte de la Musique?” “Yes, of course! Who’s playing?” And with that, I think it’s safe to say that the dancefloor in the ‘Dome’ (an old cinema destroyed during the civil war) was the most dangerous thing of this year’s Fȇte de la Musique, being made of wooden boards supported by a stick – and that made us very happy. That, and seeing such a huge crowd out on the streets without any flags whatsoever. Nice party!
