"Luke, you've switched off your targeting computer, what's wrong?" -that guy from Star Wars





I just read an article from my former professor, Sergei Medvedev, and have been moved to thought. I know, Le fou, it's quite the dangerous pastime.

For quick reference, here's the article (available only in Russian, sorry). http://www.vedomosti.ru/friday/article/2012/09/21/20471

Пикник Афиши

Recently in Moscow, there was an event of silly proportions. It's called Afisha Picnic, and it's an open air concert, with artists from all around (but mostly Britain). Franz Ferdinand, Mika, Lauren Hill, Mos Def, и Аквариум were among the bands that performed. My friend Olya turned me onto going, and it was such a blast. Honestly, I was pretty skeptical...it just doesn't seem like my sort of thing. But in the end, I'm so glad I went, and here's why...

The weather was super fun, actually. It rained for about half an hour (out of a ten hour event, that's not too bad), and it just made things more fun. We all huddled under umbrellas, trying to stay  dry and dance at the same time.
