Last gentse Feesten for me...

I went to the Gentse Feesten with Martien (a good friend, and housemate during studies). If you would have been here, your mouth would fall open. We are 8 days busy now, and yesterday it was even more full than in the beginning... Even if it has been raining yesterday.
 
The bad news... My car was taken because I was wrongly parked (which I really didn’t know)so we had to go at 3 in the morning to the police office and then been driven by pendle to the cartakenplace and then see the bill. Humhummie... 150 euro. (without the police fee... But an officer told me they would drop this)
I guess I will go and visit my parents and grandmother and look very very sad... Grin (Walla! Maybe they feel a little sorry for me, the poor kid. Lol)
Anyway, I think I will urgently do some jobs (taking pictures) in order to gain the money back, very very fast.
My boss didn’t pay me any money yet (although we have a huge vacation fee...)
And taxes have to give me back a lot of money to. I guess they have vacation.... Grgrgrgr.
 
Enough on that, or I get a depression.
 
On the Gentse Feesten, it was ‘Vive la fête’, they are very famous (Belgians) because they played on private parties for Karl Lagerfield etc.
My god. She was ugly, and wearing this too short dress, and I was wondering how many drugs she took before the show. She couldn’t say a decent word anymore.
Luckily there songs only exist out of one word (now I don’t wonder why anymore) and so far she could remember all her songs (which are called: bananasplit, jealous, dark desire,...)
But it was fun.
So Tim and Mieke and Giovanni and Mireille and all the others turned up out of nowhere (I guess we go back to the same things in the end), and we went to the park.
(After that I found out the car was towed, I just went home...)
 
Tonight it is Sven Van Hees ( http://fluke.student.utwente.nl/chilledbeats/show_album.php?album_id=138 7&add_view=no ) on the Gentse feesten, but because of lack of money, I will turn it on my computer...
 
Tomorrow there will be bbq, for which I am designing the invitation now. (Everybody knows, but yet a little plan to Kristien’s place can be easy...)
It will be called: “BBQ in the Golan, (without the Golan)” with a picture of the Golan in fire... Grin.
(I’ll send the invitation too)
And I hope the sun keeps shining, because otherwise I do have a problem...
 
That’s it folks...
 
(Added later: Monday, last days of Gentse Feesten, they released the numbers: 1,6 million people visited the Gentse feesten this year, that make a lager number than last year... On Tuesdaymorning, on the Vlasmarkt, round 9 AM, the place was full and people were still dancing (but also veryvery drunk...)
The Gentse feesten gets know as the biggest folkfestival of Europe. We, from Gent, dont know if we like that so much. -and maybe adding all this advertisement in this blog doesn't help it- It is a great festival, but more and more it becomes a festival of foreigners and not ours anymore...)
