THE END

After some weeks away from our web site, here we write again on our tour diary to talk about the end of this adventure... After the party in Subversiv, we were supposed to go to Zurich and Genčve, to make some more dancin' squatter events, but for several reasons we didn't. In Kalki (Zurich) other people made a benefit party instead of us, that's cool... In fact we were really prisoners of the Berlin groove, and it was quite hard for us to leave that city! We were too much attracted by the springtime feeling that made all the berliners go out dancing in the parks all the day long, after a six months long winter! But even if we were having a great time over there, in such a nice place and with so many nice people, we had to go back to Barcelona, from where we left on february 6th, more than 3 months ago! Romeo, our van, had to bring us back, to complete our journey, even if it was in really bad conditions...

 

We decided to go first to Torino, where we arrived after a non stop 22 hours trip. Once there, we had to fix some things on the van... people from Barocchio squat helped us. We also got envolved in a new squatted infoshop in the center of the city, just under the Mole Antonelliana: we played some electro music during a typical "aperitivo". At the end we spent one week in Torino, and the time was running without us even realizing it. We have to thank a lot the people of the Asilo squat for the kind hospitality, and because of their contribution to our benefit tour: they made a dinner for Barcelona's prisoners, and gave us money to bring to Soto, Rodrigo, Juancito y Rubén (have a look here for knowing more about the 4th and 9th of february detentions in Barcelona). We are preparing a private e-mail to send to all the places where we went to partymaking, in which we will put the details of our economic contribution to the prisoners... we thiought that it is not necessary to publish how much money we got and to who we sent it. But of course we will pubblish as soon as possible a list of directions and bank account of repression victims that need to be helped...

 

On may 15th, we left Torino in an adventourous trip to Barcelona: Romeo was in extremely bad conditions, and we seriously had to think about putting it on a ship from Genova to Barcelona; anyway, in  the end we believed in Romeo, and we made it back home on its own wheels in a 12 hours suspence journey across France. Romeo died in front of the squat where we live, after gloriously accomplishing its mission. Our tour is over, and we really enjoyed it! We are definitly satisfacted by that adventure: it gave us the possibility to meet many nice people in squats and project houses all over europe... we danced a lot and we made people dance; in some places we also made talks about prisoners situation in Italy and Spain, and we collected some money for them. Actually the tour has been a great experience, and we hope to make a new one sooner or later!

 

The welcome home was great: our friend were waiting for us, and we found a cool situation in the neighbourhood, far from the stress of february, when the repression was so heavy that we felt more "escaping" than "leaving" from Barcelona... Now, back home, your favourite partymakers are not tired at all: we meet again all togheter (Tanz Girl and Mr. Danni left us during the tour, but now they are in Barcelona as well) and we are already thinking about new projects, new rhythms and new parties... So, dear friends all over europe, take a look at this web-page from time to time, we might be coming to your city sooner than you think!
