Beamy, seamy, creamy!

Arriving at about 13 o'clock in Breczlav after a one hour ride from Vienna, I was really excited bout spending a nice day with sexy people, some great musical acts (damn, I really wanted to see Ladytron...) and enjoying the smoothly warm weather of Česká republika.



Nothing we had ever expected till then happened at about 9pm.

A massive and definitely the wildest storm I've witnessed in my life came up, I can't tell ya if it was "suddenly", cause it was like HERE after closing your eyes for one second. From one to another moment you saw tents flying around respectively people running and screaming in front of your eyes like the Apocalypse would break out in a few minutes.

Take a look a mind-breaking video showing mother earth in action:



Here you can see a video made by Sebastién Leger during his gig - look at the clouds coming from the left side including the negative highlight at about 3:00, where Leger was hit by a falling banner. About 10 minutes before this incident, I stood some meters right next to Leger, so I can probably be lucky not to be injured...

The Blue tent even collapsed, mixers and turntables fell to earth, laptops and recorders crushed down - status for affected artists whose equipment was destroyed unknown...

See you next year, Breczlav - hopefully ina better organized frame, you promoters definitely had to know about this storm beforehand!
