Pfingst-Open-Air (POA) and BERLIN
We arrived in Berlin to pick
our friend Rose up and set off on a bit of a road trip, we meet up with some
old friends in Ant from Newcastle and a new one called Tom who lives on “wagon
village” on the outer edge of Berlin, we
also got the brakes fixed on the van and then head off to the countryside.
We said just outside of
Dresden on a camper site before moving on to see the The Bastei Bridge in the
mountains in the very south of Germany.
After this we decided to cross the border over to spend a few days exploring
in Czech Republic, we did some nice walks and climbed trees and stayed near Karlovy
Vary. We
set off for the festival in high sprites but as soon as we crossed back over to
Germany we were randomly stopped by the police for a search, they searched
everywhere, I mean everywhere, but found
nothing, oh well on to the festival.
Pfingst-Open-Air Festival 2013
We were invited over to a music festival in Southern
Germany, near the town of Passau. This
is a great festival ran by Nick & Burnd.
They have their army of helpers but in reality its like a really big
family.
We were asked to paint the cocktail bar and the “stateopia”
park while also giving stencil workshops to willing volunteers.
We started first on the cocktail bar, before the festival
started, this was in between the construction and wielding staff had finished
building the bar. We worked during the
night to try to get it finished for the opening. The free food and drinks helped and with a
few finishing touches we just managed it, we hope to come back next year to
finish it off.
On the Friday we
painted the skate park with IDa4’s political piece from the Olympics, this
created a little bit of a stir with the local paper doing a piece on it.
On the Saturday we held the workshops and had some keen
volunteer, who we showed how to do 3 to 4 layer stencils on old viynls. They were happy to find out that they could
take it home for free.
On the Sunday we had a little party in the cocktail bar that
we help create and then took part in the giant water fight and meet some
amazing people.
Thanks everyone involved and we hope to be back again next
year
