Saturday February the 4th. The day starts with a view at a cup of coffee and two mono connectors. Actually the connectors could have been oranges and that would not have made any difference what so ever
I packed my stuff - instruments & cloths and went at barber Mladost (translate - Youth) right across coffee bar ,,Radostā (translate Joy) and the mental health office Ludost (translate - Craziness). For those of you who doesnāt know - these three locals form our neighborhood trinity. Very good.Ā
then we hit the road with Ile the Hairās new car and talked about gas prices and reality in light rays. I mentioned Bitola and Tesla a couple of times in various contexts.
we arrived at MKC around 6.30 pm, had a rehearsal at the restaurant right behind the stage. Then we went to the Irish pub for a beer and accidentally met some adult people from London. We talked about the visual similarities between our Babari tradition and Mad Max Fury Road. My hair was 0.001 % longer.
The conclusion was that - having a beard certainly looks like what you think is very important. Otherwise you have to smoke to achieve the same effect. But since you should quite smoking immediately to keep your good health leave the beard. That is why VMRO is in power for a decade. ,,Noā - smoking ,,Yesā beard and pretend you are thinking about something very important.Ā
back to MKC -Ā ZemjotresĀ had already started. thousands of people, many bands and one idea - support the independent music scene in Macedonia. We supported the independent scene too by wearing weird cloths, glasses, hats and pajamas.
the festival ended around 2 am. we packed our stuff and left. we spend the next day (Sunday) at home hanging out with the colleges and playing bejeweld and broforce
the next Ā day we visited 24 television as guests in ,,Macedonia Todayā show. we legalized our collective madness thatās been going on for some years now.
then we got back in Bitola and went for a drink in Putnik restaurant. Rakija Vortex
the day started with Rihanna...just kidding, I only uploaded a photo of her so people might think itās all about her. And it is in fact. Everything has always been about Rihanna
I woke up, had some coffee and immediately called Pero to start the fireplace at Kamarite. December is freezing in Macedonia. Kamarite is in Macedonia. That is why December is freezing in Kamarite too.
then I bought ākakaoā from the nearest supermarket and ask the personal to prepare two cups which immediately drag the attention at us. Of course it did - kakao is full of antioxidants that bind free radicals in the organism and helps cells work as they should. And cells worked as they should, I think.
next thing - setting up the āstageā or āshtaboā as it is more commonly referred among the people in Bitola
..so much stuff...a computer, a sound card.... triton taktile, many different cables, microphones, hammers, nails, grinder, various garage tools, a pallet, an ethno drum, a tablet, a JBL bluetooth speaker, and our favorite retro synth - hbatecĀ
we used a highly sophisticated tablet - touch sampler as well in contrast to the ancient tools and the primitive technology.
I am sorry for the poor photo quality, itās that my phone is cheap
next - sound check phase. the fireplace is on but it is still December and the sound guy, some of you might recognize him under his nickname - Zirkata told us he had to go somewhere else.Ā
We said sure, no problem, since what we are doing here is only selling pharmaceutic products, you can go no problem.Ā
Iwe connected a dedicated lap top for multitrack recording right in front of this yamaha usb mixer.
we set up a dedicated lap top for video, a projector and a camera... shtabo was finally ready

someone said to me - it's only you on the screen, thatās not fair. - well it's the selfie era - I replied. get used to it.Ā
other photos of the show can be found in peopleās phones. we couldnāt take photos of us playing while we played because we only have two hands each and instruments to handle including a camera to operate. Tumblr text post format wouldnāt let me post videos and sound directly and thatās the reason why I didnāt.Ā
