So basically every evening for the last week I have been going to a festival here in Groningen called Noorderzon. It's an arts festival with every type of entertainment. I have definitely been taking advantage of the free concerts every night in the park. I just got home from the best show I have seen here yet. The band was called Chk Chk Chk (from New York). They were unbelievable! I might even say that they were the most entertaining, energetic, hilarious, and fun group I have seen in my life! The stage is set up in front of a pond in the middle of the park meaning that the audience is split into two and cannot really stand in front of the stage. At some of the other shows I have felt pretty disconnected to the bands, but not tonight. The lead singer was all over the place. During the show he said that if someone would swim to the mic, they could sing a song. Of course during the last song, this Rastafarian Groningen guy named Eddie, who I met a few nights ago, dove in grabbed the mic and finished the song. Meanwhile, the lead singer jumped in the pond and went for a dip. It was quite the finale!
It's funny to think I almost did not go tonight because it was raining earlier. The rain stopped right before the band began.
