Just saw the new band confirmations for the Mera Luna festival next year

I am hyped af :D

haha, that moment when you're talking to your parents about the festivals planned for the upcoming year and your dad suddenly insists on going to one of the festivals now because Anne Clark is performing there :D

So I'm finally "awake" again after visiting the M'era Luna and the long train journey home yesterday.
M'era Luna was just great this year!
The last time was years ago and this year was my first time ever camping at a festival.

I was so lucky with my tent group which was organised by my sister; everyone fitted together perfectly and camping with them was so nice and felt really safe and comfortable.
This also helped a lot when I got a severe migraine one day and was overwelmed, which was absolutely no problem with the group and I was able to create a safe space for myself despite the unfamiliar terrain.

As a festival, I find M'era really interesting compared to other festivals I know. In fact, I find it really "difficult" to compare it to another festival, as it is somehow its own concept.
For example, I found that at this festival the focus was less on the music and more on the scene itself due to the mass of side programmes such as workshops or the medieval market which was right in front of the entrance to the festival site.

I'm already really looking forward to next year's festival!

E-tropolis Festival. Looks inspiring

Finally finished packing my clothes for the upcoming M'era Luna Festival.
Had to make a few 'deductions', but my other stuff probably wouldn't survive in my backpack without breaking.
(Besides, the camping stuff already weighs a bit much and I'm using public transport...)

I'm really excited; this is the first time in years that I've been able to visit this festival and I'm only going because I know and trust the camping group.
Unfortunately, that's difficult for me because of my bad overnight experience in general.

But fuck it; despite my persistent nervousness, I'm currently hoping that this jump over mine shadow will be successful and that I can enjoy a good festival at the end of my holiday.

Well... I think the upcoming Amphi festival will be a funeral...
A funeral for my ‘kutte’ which is my first modified t-shirt ever, with which I literally started my entry into the cyber-goth scene (hard to believe that this was already 16 years ago).
But unfortunately I have noticed damage that is simply too ‘big’, the T-shirt will not survive the year.

On the one hand, yes, it's just a T-shirt and it really wasn't expensive, but there's so much history in this piece, so many clubs and festivals that the T-shirt has seen...
It's strange how much a T-shirt like that can drag you down...

ohhh was fortune kind to me today!

I was out in the city today and went shopping in the second hand stores again.
By chance I found such great things today that I can wear them (after I've tailored them a bit tighter) directly to upcoming music festivals :D

One week from tonight, I will be back up in the mountains of New Hampshire, celebrating the annual Porcupine Freedom Festival :D

I spent most of today running through the list of shite I need to do / bring to run this lounge for the week, getting ready now, so that I can leave as early as possible Sunday.

I'm looking forward to this, and this work week needs to go by quickly :)
