and just for fun.. The Atomium

Hey, kids!
Long time no news from us.
No Space:Garage - no news. Sad, but true.
And while Riga is not hospitable at all in terms of a new place for da club,
we are offering this joy for other cities. The whole crew in all its glory is flying to Brussels in beginning of September to show those euro-bureaucrats how to party. The Art is not forgotten too.

SMALL PARTY ON THE LAKE

Update. - the map is here.
This is how it looks from space.

Hello Friends!
Sorry, there was not much writing here lately.
Not much to say after magical Fusion Festival.
No photos, sorry, this is something that no photos can describe..
Massive thanks to Fortschritt 3000 crew!

But the real reason behind this post is following:
to not to forget each other we’re throwing a small party this Saturday (26.07)
in a wonderful Rollbar - picturesque place on the bank of Ķišezers lake in Mežaparks.
Nothing big, rather cozy evening, night, followed by sunrise on the lake.
Special guest DJ - Andrei Panin from Moscow.
+ some FFF deejays. Flyer and more info soon.
And, its completely free. Just take you best friends, good mood,
perhaps some picnic accessories.

See you soon!

FFFUSION

Hello Folks!
As promised, a bit more info on Fusion Festival.
fusion1.jpg

Fusion Festival is around 10 years old now, and since 1999 its being organized by non-profit association “Kulturkosmos“. First thing should be said about Fusion is that its not a commercial festival. Well.. if you look around, you will see Pepsi Sziget, Heineken Opener, Positivus AB etc. The festival as a big commercial for its sponsors and the place to happily spend the year’s advertising budget. Of cause you need to buy a ticket to Fusion, and you can buy a beer on the site, but you will not see any single advertising poster there. The Fusion ground place is on the middle of nowhere, about 200 km from Berlin, on the territory of ex-soviet army military airport (thats why its written in russian and soviet symbols are all around). Festival is the only big activity in this region and a lot of local country side people are involved in the action. Part of the income is going to charity. Besides Fusion, Kulturkosmos is also organizing Theater Camp in August in the same place.
And then there is music, atmosphere and people… By the way, its not only techno.. all sort of music, cirkus, theater, orchestras and so on..
They say: Its a Tankstelle for your soul. Hard to desagree. And its exactly our type of spirit. After all, in some ways Space:garage was inspired by Fusion..
And, you see, we are more than happy to participate in Fusion this year. Its a big honor. Really.
The program for this year is online now.
Our warm advice - just be there.
Thanks.
Peace and Unity!

ITS A GIRL!

Xenia Kamikaza just gave birth to a child, and now she is the proud mother of Vera.
Congratulations!

WE’LL BE BACK

Dear Friends!
Sorry to bring bad news again, but we are forced to stop organizing events for some time. You know, Space:Garage is violently closed, and the new VEF place just doesnt give that much joy and finance to keep it alive. Besides that, we all are emotionally tired and deserved a bit of rest to free up the space for fresh ideas.
Perhaps, we will be back with new projects somewhere in September/October.

Please, check this page from time to time, as we will continue to put music and new information here.
Thanks.

Always Yours,
FuckForFriendship crew
