Frohe Weihnachten!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr (slide well into the new year)!

Gogol Bordello

I went to see Gogol Bordello at E-Werk, a small, local concert venue here in Erlangen. I started listening to Gogol Bordello after seeing the film Everything is Illuminated, which featured their music and starred Eugene Hütz, the singer of Gogol.

It was my first punk concert in I don't know how many years, and I was definitely out of practice. I had no intention of moshing, but the whole club was one big mosh pit. I had to jump or be jumped on. And I'm too old to jump for an hour and a half. There were a few "seniors," like me, in the group, but most of the people looked college age. Even though I had fun, I was exhausted, so it may be few years before I do punk again.
