August had been the most stressful month, this year. There had been two weddings of good friends of ours - one in Austria, the other in Switzerland. We went to both by car and now that I am writing these lines, I feel quite exhausted. Both weddings had been really great, despite being completely different. I will put some pictures on my photoblog soon.

Than there was the Budocan Sommerfest that ended with a bad hangover for everyone, I guess. So that’s basically what happened this month so far.

…probably one of the most used headlines, when it comes to blogging. Everyone running a blog knows, that it is a bit work to keep it up to date and writing sometimes doesn’t come easy. So what has happened the last month?

First of all, we moved up one level. Nadine are now in our new residence on second and thrid floor… still in the same house. There is still a lot to do in our new home.

Second thing and also a long time running was finishing the budocan.com webpage. Yes! I know… it looks a bit like this page… but hey, it looks better than most of those martial arts pages.

And before I disappear again I give you a little sample, from an old C64 game that kept me and my cousin playing all evening. Do you know which game it is taken from than post a comment. >> sampel.mp3 (160kb)

I just returned from a pretty hard weekend at “With Full Force”-Festival in Roitzschjora. Four days packed with earsmashing hardcore, that I am actually not a fan of. Basically I went there, to spend some time with good friends and party along. I rather attend Herzberg-Festival, which is full blown Hippie-come-together, which started off in 1972. Off course I knew that WFF would be different in more than just the musical way, but I was really shocked about the behaviour there.

It occurs to me that it is hip to take a leak against all and everything. People got up from their place, went five steps to their car and pee against it. Fecal humor seems to be on top of the list when it comes to show how masculine you are. I talked to quite alot of people about that and they all said, that this phenomena apperared throughout the last 3 years. Mainly younger visitors seem to work hard on their reputation with such means. We came across that Steve-O seems to be the reason for that.

As much as I apreciate the whole Jackass bunch and all they do, the harder it is to hang out with hundrets of them for a couple of days. You not only had to watch your steps, but keep track of your tent, passways and everything else. Perhaps I am getting old, but this has nothing to do with rock or hardcore music, if you ask me. Despite that, food was horror, so were the service people…. next year I am back for Herzberg.

Looking over my musical taste sholder, I will give those bands a thumb up and a little space on my mp3 player:
- The Bones, Enter Shikari, Children Of Bodom, Sonic Syndicate
