Finally something very concrete I can write about. Yesterday our main Yoga (raspberry) Jam was in Šumen – the rapper Spens. We made contact and set to come to the club and bring some flyers and the promo video. Usually we go to sleep around 22 or 23. Aušra and Risko were taking naps and I was searching for tumblr themes for all the different blogs that no one knows about (ihihi). I call Spens up around 22h and he says I am just in front of the Mamagaya club, come now. So we come and he instantly leaves for the hotel, saying there is a problem with a cable for the video – something, something, half Bulgarian half English. With the help of some loud music I fail to understand what he is saying, or is he muttering on purpose? Anyway, we have ourselves some banana juices, and lemonade, get a reservation to a spot in the club just in front of the stage (each bar or table spot in the club are reserved, yes). No one is there, but we are enjoying the atmosphere, commenting, dancing a little bit. Risko and I comparing prices with our countries and trying to decide what kind of standard the club is and Aušra experiencing her first time clubbing experience! She sits just under the speaker with the beat shaking her chest, so I get her to move from there. I see Spens around and decide to go see what is up with the video and he says, oh, the cable bla bla, just give me a few flyers and I will present Yoga Jam and give out these flyers. It is 10 to 1, and he tells me that he will start at 1, 1.30. I assume it will be 1.30, and realising that we have very little flyers that have already been distributed on the tables, Risko, the saviour, comes in and takes the complicated tour of going to the house to get the keys, then to the center to take the flyers-stickers and back to the club. Each place has at least two doors to handle. He does a superman entry to the club holding the stickers and we feel saved! Spens already started, so he does not have the flyers with him, but he can easily be reached from the dance floor. He goes on rapping about how he drinks early in the morning, and smokes early in the morning and sings early in the morning and put your hands in the air (рецете горе! recete gore!) – we are having a blast! For the grand finale he invites young rappers on stage and gets them to free style, and the best one gets a bottle of votka. After that he shortly says, there is a concert in Varna, blah. Not so very entousiastically, but understandable under the smoking – drinking atmosphere, where he just delivered a bottle of votka to some youth, to present a non-smoking non-drinking drug free event…The three of us a bit exhausted from the loud music and cigarette smoke, but satisfied and smiling, we walk home.
