Holland and STRP.

Holland and STRP.

Holy shit, there is so much to tell and im kinda tired so im gonna try be a little short.
This Friday we went from Karlskrona to Kaspers little town in Holland called Uden. Its a town kinda similar to Karlskrona but way more party life. When we arrived at Kaspers house like 10 o clock we got met up with some really nice beer and some food that looked like french hot dog except it was fully closed and there was some wierd sausage in it.

When we sat there drank our beer, listening to some dubstep everyone got so excited about the festival that we wanted to go out party. 2 hours later we were at a small club drinking alot of beer and 1 hour after that we were at some other club where we danced the shit out of the dance floor. I think everyone though we was on LSD or something because 5 mins after we entered the dance floor we were the only ones there. The alcoholics drinks flowed and people were getting more and more happy. When the club closed we were so eager to get more but Uden had no more place that were open after 3am so we got home slept some, and as we deserved woke up with some headache and a vague memory from the stuff we did the night before.

At least everyone got up and we manage to eat some breakfast. And by breakfast i mean candy. Seriously the stuff we had on our sandwich was sick. Only like chocolate flakes and peanut butter and just alot of things you would die for if you were 5 years old. That morning i was 5 years old again and i ate chocolate and caramel flakes like never before. Everything on a white piece of bread. I was in breakfast heaven.

Well well, we got to the bus and in to Einhoven where the festival where at. Checked around some stores. Saw some really cool stores that i wish i could buy alot of different stuff in but didn't really had the cash.

At least we got some food and a small apprehension about Eindhoven before we got to the festival. We took the train out to Philips old habitats where the festival was located and bought the tickets at the entrance. The first thing i thought of was the sweet smell when you entered the locals. There was red "pillows" everywhere where people smoked everything you can imagine. The sweet smell from the marijuana joints was taking over the whole smell in the locals and you just see twinkling lights everywhere and a weak stream of music that you hear from a far.

Now i will post some of the stuff that were of a festival stealed from Kaspers blog.

ATOM
Atom was a really inspiring music and spatial visual piece done by monolake. They created 64 balloons on a grid which were replaceable by height and therefor they could create abstract sculptures with these balloons. Each of these balloons could light up whenever they wanted to. Accompanied with some really good abstract music they managed to create a beautiful and inspiring piece of work.



TFT Tennis
Plain simple, but good, pong in 3D, I loved it.



Bejing Accelerator
An agile tool to view nice panoramas from Bejing



Motor Karaoke
Haha probably the one with the highest entertainment value. A racing game based upon on ruke: The harder you scream, the faster you go. You could hear people screaming from the other side of the building. Some swedes lost their voice here.



Theese were just some of the few technical wonders that i saw on the festival. Well, let me forward the time like 6 hours from now. Then the time is maybe 2am and the big part of the technical exhibition had closed. Now it was all about partying and all the DJ's that played. It was totally crazy with dubstep, rave, techno and house. I think I've never danced this much in my life. I probably danced 5-6 hours and i probably never drunk so much beer and bacardi/cola at that short ammount of time either. What can i say, the last 3 hours of dubstep was so great its hard to describe with words. I will upload some movies and pictures tomorrow just because I'm really tired and in need of sleep right now.

We got home to Kasper at 9am again. Then we had been up for almost 36 hours and partied like 10 hours of them. What a weekend...

We got to the plane, bought some liquor at the tax free shop and i got a small sms. "Hey Hampus, im feeling a bit ill, think ill be home tomorrow". It was Emil who was in Örebro this weekend and he was the only one that had the keys home...

Imagine 3 guys smelling smoke, sweat and hungover when they get the words that they cant come home tonight. It was just a lack of communication when we went away that Friday and now it was just so tough facing the fact that we were not coming home that night.

We went home to "The Gävle Dudes" and were gonna sleep there, just before we were going to sleep some of em got the idea that we were suppose to drink up all the tax free that we bought earlier today. I weren't really in the mood but the other guys started to play dubstep drinking alot. And by alot i mean puke-alot. The night ended pretty rough for some of em.

Now I'm going to sleep and ill hope you enjoy my Holland experience. As told before i will upload some pictures and movies from the festival tomorrow so hold on guys.
God night.
