OK,
I got bit lazy with this blog again. The thing is that I have bunch of ideas
for the blog and have prepared material (photos and words that are some
written and some are still just in my head), but I always rather put my free time
and energy into doing my zine than this blog. What can I say? So, this time,
just short rambling and few photos about the pits during Vaseline Children
time. At the time, Vaseline Children had quite following of 30 to 40 people
(mostly from Slovenia) that always danced on VC shows. And that crowd was
consisted of boys and girls and it was far away from any macho bullshit. That
is probably why I look on these times with nostalgic feelings and thoughts
because I don`t see that kind of atmosphere anymore on todays shows. The
photos below were taken on 19.-th January 2008. at MC Krško, Slovenia. It was
the third year of Old School Or No School Festival that started in Krško in 2006.
(I played on 3 Old School Festivals with my 3 different bands and this was also
the fourth time that Vaseline Children played in MC Krško) This particular Old
School Fest was cool except for a few retarded drunk and high losers that tried
to ruin the pit with their asshole behaviour, but they were forced to calm down
because few of us wouldn`t tolerate any of their bullshit. Of 4 bands that were
playing, 3 were awesome and did a great show and on all of these 3 bands, circle
pit, slam, pogo, stage diving, singalong and dancing didn`t stop untill the end
of the show. As one band once said: „My friends and the pit, nothing matters to
me anymore“. Well said.
Circle pit during the Depressive State
set. There are two VC members in the pit and you can also see two VC t-shirts here
(one you can spot easily but the other you have to look more carefully)
These two photos and circle pits were
both taken during Vaseline Children set. There are too many familiar faces on
these photos (specially in the pit), so I won`t name anyone. But if you want to
know, just ask me who is who :)
