Hallowe'en

Let's pretend it is Sunday...
'Today' was sunny.
I woke up around 10:30 and didn't have breakfast and went to meet Joe and Randi for a big parade that was a block away from my house. It was for a Culture Carnival. I finished off a roll of film during the parade. Randi bought me and her mohitos and at one point she dropped a 20 euro bill but I found it and gave it back to her.
The portable toilets, which I had to use, were disgusting. Smell is tiny molecules of their source, in this case specifically; urine and feces and used feminine hygiene products. These portable toilets were fermenting in the hot sunlight all day.
Most of the floats in the parade were 'African' or 'Thai' or a bunch of under-dressed under-age girls dancing together. There was also one really lonely Christian Missionary float playing 'Christian Pop' and it kind of broke my heart.
After the parade finished me, and Randi went back to my house and ate avocados and drank water and I made milk shakes with kiwis and strawberries.
Then I went to the Volks Buehne (People's Stage) to see a music event put on by a booking agent (?) called Headquarters. It was pretty good with a lot of bands. No Kids, Why?, and Prefuse 73 were the reasons that I went.
I have been wanting to see No Kids for a while now and they were really great. If you ask me what they sound like I would say, "They sound like; Prince, Jens Lekman, Hot Chip and other stuff like Prince, and maybe also Stevie Wonder."
I got to talk to Nick from No Kids about Gigi, which was also great because I had some festering questions about that band.
I ending up staying until around 4 o'clock and did a few things on the way home; made friends with a (possibly gay) guy from Dresden and a girl from Leipzig, refused McDonald's and forgot Mother's Day.
This is a drawing I started of my friend Corbin;

I find it mildly amusing that I have yet to see No Kids and I live in Vancouver. You, on the other hand...
But, I did see Lykke Li, El Perro del Mar, and Anna Ternhein last night. A Swedish delight! -erika
