You guys got to watch it on TV? Lucky bastards! Here in the US, the only type of music events covered on TV are hip-hop and cheesy pop. Hard headed

Fortunately, I was able to fly out to Berlin for this one.

Since it was my first time at the Parade, I can only go by what I saw in pics from previous parades and from talking to people who've been there before. According to that, I expected everyone to be dancing their asses off (and showing more ass for that matter). Instead, the parade was full of drunk kids stumbling around and spraying people with their Super-Soakers. And yes, supposedly it was more commercial because the organizers lost the "political event" status that they used to have which had the city pay for the cleanup costs. They got some last minute corporate sponsorship to pay for cleaning up the mess. Regardless, I'm not implying that I wasn't impressed or didn't have a blast. I did. I highly recommend going to anyone who hasn't been because the Parade might not be held too much longer. If they wind up having it next year, don't miss it. It might be your last chance.

Here are some pics reviews from the weekend:

Hey guys. Hey Translucent, thanks for the awesome Weblink. I checked out the site in your signature and it's awesome. And how do you get to go to all these things if you're in US? Do you have friends overseas?
Right, I'm gonna quit acting like a newbie now and get out of here.
