20/08/03 — Omigod I want to go to Lithuania
So I picked up a flyer at the goth club (good band playing from Sweden, by the way. In Grey, if anyone's interested).
The flyer is for an event in Lithuania that sounds AMAZING. I transcribe:
:::::::::::::::::::::::Black Horned Moon:::::::::::::::::::::::
concerts|exhibitions|films|rituals|lectures|crafts|dance
The seventh burning ritual of Menuo Juodaragis takes
place in Kernave, the ancient centre of culture and
magic in the last Pagan land of Europe. The wonderful
place in the forest, by the Neris river, situated in
30km from Vilnius, Northwestern direction. The smithery
of Black Horned Moon broadcasts the unity of Past and
Future in darkened frequencies -- ethno, industrial,
neofolk, gothic, ebm, tribal, metal, avantgarde etc.
3 days of pulsating Mystery. Come and be charmed by
the magic of Baltic lands!
...We walk in the Circle.
This is followed by a long list of bands and Djs I've never heard of.
Tickets are a mere €9 for the whole three days. More info here.
So, what's the problem?
a) it's from 22 August to 24 August. That's effectively
tomorrow.
b) low on funds. Unsure how much it costs to go to
Lithuania.
c) wasn't on the plan. Don't even know if I need a
visa. Deciding to go means today turns into a 'run-around-and-check
buses and stuff' day instead of museum and fun day.
d) original plan was to go to St Petersburg saturday
night or something. This squeezes that plan, but only
slightly.
Opinions? Should I forget it or just say stuff it, I'm going to Lithuania!
