Second day at Exit

After chilling the afternoon on the beach, refreshing ourselves and talking about music with my new fanzine journalist friend. I meet Jeremie, Nicolas and Stephanie for a bit a food (junk food of course, bureks, pljeskavicas, pizzas will be on the menu all week end with an occasional asia wok...) and a nice cold draught Jellen Pivo of course.
We slowly head over the bridge and along the streets to the festival. Making our way through the maze of fetival-goers and all kinds of vendors, i get an other sharper idea of this daily pilgrinage into the froteress. What you could walk in mear 10 minits, is done in more then half an hour, stopping to buy cigaretts, beers, hats, t-shirts, home made sandwiches, industrial hot-dogs, ice creams, noisy toys or wistles. Everything is Exit branded and it seems like everybody in Novi Sad turned into a short time vendor to get a little money out of this. It is realy pleasant to see this self organisation, the lack of regulation (or maybe i am simply not aware of the rules or mafia governing this) resulting in you beeing able to get fresh beer from a simple citizen using a big plastic basin filled with ice to chill the beer and energy drinks under the burning sun. And this at any time of the day or night...
The begining of the night is quiet, we sit and listen to a bit of reggae befor heading for the first concerts : Smoke and soul, great discovery followed by great (and expected) disapointment of Gentelman.

Gentelman at the third bigest scene, its all about wawing your hand during the 36th and 93rd second of each song....

An other view from further back. Full of people, we moved some 200 m further to find Serbian music and dance to Mesecina :)

End of the night, begining of the day, the sun is rising, people moved to the electronic scene were the party goes on every morning until 8... It is now time for sunglasses and styled looks.

The night will be short tonight again, only a couple hours by the refreshing danube before the sun makes it imposible to sleep.
