YAPA

It's been a long time since I told you a story... ;) Fixing it now :)

The middle of March. Winter is still here, you can see the snow outside and you feel the cold wind blowing... But there is one weekend that brings the spring closer to your heart. Weekend when you can participate in a students' festival called YAPA. Well, the name has some meaning in Polish, I can't translate it... It is all about students' singing the same songs as in the mountains, while hiking, while sitting next to the fire... Did I say singing? I meant - shouting ;) This is pretty unusual festival - many many students, who are really critical and really want to have fun there. If you are a bad player, let's put it that way - boring, the audience will wake you up with... clock alarms :) They are enthusiastic, young, funny and try to enjoy their time as much as possible - and you can make a fool of them :) Students can recognise it :) Well, I would not say that this festival is about really good and professional singing... there were really good bands that simply didn't have "that something" and few bad, that could make people jump and laugh :) It is just special day, special place, special people and unique atmosphere :) Some years ago I helped to organise this festival, and I still have many friends there, I met many others I know for... ages from mountains, camps, some other places :) It was great to see them again, talk to them, laugh and sing sing sing. As loud as we could. I had lots of fun that night!!!!! Thanks for forcing me, poor student before the exam, to go there!!!! :)
