Woohoo!! another festival and another chance to see the Pixies! Life can be brilliant sometimes...

The day started with a lot of rain and even more rain on the way to the festival but all our combined prayers to the weather gods (and any other powers related) must have worked because it did not rain again once we were on the festival terrain. The sun and later the moon even rejoiced us with their presence!

The Festival:
- The Posies: hey, I do know that song!
- a piece of Zornik (which is quite tasty)
- poffertjes: even tastier ;-)
- Ellen Alien: we need more electro aliens!
- Nightwish: Viking dwarves and an opera singer who makes it sound so easy
- Fisherspooner: still biggest ego ever, no gold underwear this time sadly
- Marilyn Manson: always nice to watch
- Goldfrapp: oh lalala electro pop!
- Stereo mcs: deep down and dirty ( they played after the Pixies btw)

PIXIES!!!
Not so long ago we thought we would never ever see them live and now here we are: the second time!! Still simply brilliant, simply divine! And this time there was a full moon shining on them ;-D
Good night Charles, good night Kim, good night David, good night Joey!
