Taming Vortex
2006-07-30

After one year spent in Prague I returned this thursday back home to Olomouc. This is really pleasant event, and I'm glad to be here again. I meet my old friends in the streets, lot of old faces I know. This never happens in Prague since it's too big city, and nobody knows each other. However sometimes somebody start talking on  the street with me, and I really don't know who is that. [-; Yes, this happens after years living somewhere else. [-; Or, well, maybe people misunderstand me with my brother, and I have really bad times talking to somebody I don't know... [-;

There is also terrible weather. On friday there was about 38 degrees which must be record here. And really, we are not used to it. Usually we have below 30 degrees during the summer, and we don't suffer from hot weather so much (but we suffer from rains, and cold more). But this is a problem in the whole Europe at the moment.

This hot weather brings also storms. I actually experienced one yesterday at the music festival Hrachovka. This festival had to be canceled after afternoon storm. We hide ourself in ambulance tent, but information tent on the right side flattened down, and also sound guy's tent flattened down, and it rained into his electronics. After while came firemen to remove ruins. Few minutes later something broke down on the main stage construction, and also beer tent felt down, and injured few people. After the storm they had to dismount two stages, and while after village mayor canceled festival because it was not safe to have 10000 on the place. So this was really bad luck. One sunny day more, and it could be phenomenal success. But we had to spend whole saturday in the pub, and we have seen only two band - the Exploited, and Slonovski Bal - Balkan orchestra on friday night.

But summer festivals do not end. In CZ we have at least two or three big music festivals every weekend. So there is lot of music, concerts, and theater for everyone. Next week I go with lot of people from Olomouc to every year's favorite Beseda u bigbítu. And I can't wait for it!
