This is a very new zoo which is focused on European animals. It isn't very big but it's a nice place to have a walk and see some nice animals like wolves, foxes, beavers, polar bears etc. Perfect for an afternoon stroll!


We went there to celebrate Erik's birthday so we had a good time anyway ;-)
(Except for all the irritating wasps that kept following us ;-p)

Ode to the Moon

The moon (most full) as seen through our windows and on our balcony

Night of the Living Dead (Lokerse feesten 9-8-2006)

As I awoke from my slumber this morning and opened my coffin I knew it would be a glorious day for I always love the nights of the full moon. As the veil of dreams slowly lifted from my brain I started to remember why this would be an even more glorious night for tonight we would go and see the grandfathers of Goth!!
But they would only arise from their tomb at 22:30 so there was much to do and see before...

At 20:00 the Belgian electro-techno-rock duo Nid&Sancy would start their set but sadly we were too late for that because we had to wait for the bus. Their set was only half an hour and we have seen them before so we didn't miss much.

At about 21:00 The Cramps started their sleazy sex&rock&roll party. They share a nice tomb somewhere on a cemetery in the southern USA. We should visit them some time because they can surely make the dead dance.
And as it was getting dark slowly the moon started creeping out from behind the stage...

Finally somewhere past 22:30 Bauhaus entered. I remember visiting the actual Bauhaus school in Berlin once. It was a very hot day and the sun was blazing setting the white building almost alight...
This Bauhaus however sets us alight with liquid darkness.

And as darkness crept over all of us the full moon finally started shining from behind the clouds. And suddenly they lost half the power on stage so we had to wait for it to be fixed.
Luckily they did fix it and Bauhaus came back for some more songs once more proving that they are the grandfathers of us all.

At about 0:15 it was time for Daan (who is of-course, as the name suggests, brilliant). He ended the night with some sensitive songs and danceable sounds. We left a bit earlier to get the bus back to our car.

And as we drove home the moon was still shining brightly upon us making us more alive in this night of the living dead...
