Saturday morning, time for the parade! Esa had his headphones on almost all the time. |
|
|
Atte, Esa, Jani, Tero and I decided to be together. We chose an U-bahn (subway) that wasn't going directly through the center, but I was still surprised that we got so easily to the starting point of the parade. Evosonic was playing music before the start. |
|
|
The idea is of the parade is to have dozens of trucks with powerful amplifiers and loudspeakers, each playing their own choice of music. Well - their own choice of techno music. People can then choose where to hang around and party. One of the trucks here. |
|
|
...and another one here. |
|
|
Jani, the Great Leader. :) Notice also the cool Entropy t-shirts. Compared to some other entropists this was still a very conservative look, Pasi topped the lot by his Hattivatti outfit with extra waving hands. Pity I didn't take pictures at the hotel in the morning. |
|
|
Of course I had to pose for the camera too. |
|
|
It began to get really crowded, you had to be careful not to get separated from your friends. |
|
|
One of the coolest looks. |
|
|
We spent quite a while behind this truck playing Detroit, here still trying to get there - it wasn't easy. Being right behind a truck is about the only way to actually be able to dance, or even move forwards. |
|
|
An overview. It was estimated that about 1,5 million people took part in the parade. |
|
|
Same spot, other direction, more people. |
|
|
Finally we got behind the truck. It had even a shower service - a guy shooting with a Super Soaker in the back. Water guns were popular items in the parade, everybody were just happy to get some drops of cold water over them. |
|
|
If the truck is called Smog, you gotta have some smoke, too. |
