Weekend

This weekend passed in a frenzy musical tone. Friday I was all set to go to Borongaj for the opening of the new student campus where a big concert was going to take place. I met with a lot of my friends this week, and mentioned going to the concert. It appeared that I made arrangements with everybody I talked to so I was supposed to go there with everybody, which is physically impossible. The other problem is that nobody knew where the new campus was situated and how to get there.

Domagoj called me and said that he will pop by my apartment after lunch. We had some beers and listened to music after which we took off to pick up a friend who was on the way to Borongaj.
Reaching the venue was a nightmare. It took a tram, a short walk and two buses to get there, we just had to follow the crowd.
The concert took place under a big tent and there were tons of people there and the whole event was organized professionally, from police squads, toilettes, medical service to food and beverages.

We just came on time to see Kud Idijoti play and they were excellent. An old punk rock band from Istria always worthy for a good show. After them came The Beet Fleet, in my opinion the best hip hop band in Croatia, and they really kicked ass.

The night definitely didn't end quickly after the show. I've seemed to miss the last bus home so my cross town marathon started at about half pass midnight. It took approximately one and a half hours to get back home. Going home with my two drunken friends didn't help getting home quicker either, one of which had to pass by my neighborhood. But I had fun going with them so I don't regret it.

The next day I wasn't sure if I was giong anywhere that night, but inviting my friend Gogo over to lunch made me change my mind. We decided to go to Boogaloo to see Đubrivo play after watching the football game on TV. Croatia was playing a qualification match against Israel.
I've made my famous whole wheat pasta with veggies and soy and it was simply delicious. We started talking about wine after lunch and somehow found ourselves on the way to Vrutak wine cellar buying red wine. They really have an excellent choice of international wine for a reasonable price.

I was amazed to find the new Rosemount Estate Road Red which is a mixture of Shiraz and another sort, which we opened later that night. It was truly fabulous. A rich grape, fruity flavor with a dark Rubin color and and amazing smell. I found myself a new favorite...
