My first couch festival

(and no, it is not for couch potatoes)

 First I got invited to a puppet play at a top secret private location

 And then a lot of us ended up at the Wild Strings Trio birthday party 

 at the couch Festival

which was a bit more of an open public event. 

I don't know

whether I was just lazy or was I too tired as I had some problems sleeping, but I missed a few concerts this year (and that is a no-no). However, I finally managed to drag my lazy bones to a concert on the 4th day of the new year. So, Hoorah! I am back :)

As I watch

the day go by...

I see the many ways...

 people express themselves.

Some people

have returned from London, others are slowly packing.

Started off

the national day of culture with noon laughter at an impro show and then went to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

In the evening I needed something a bit more serious, so I went to a hidden small theatre for a mono performance

 after which I met up with Cris and we have what I can only assume was the first in a mini series of farewell drinks (and we did get a bit hmmm..., how should I put it... drunk maybe? - I know not really the right thing to do on a cultural holiday), but we did manage to listen to a concert while pouring the alcohol across our shoulders (or was that down the barrel?).
