In stormy Sundays you can always go back to the stuff you have from sunny days, like just a week ago.

Still from this weekend’s Bairro do Grilo, or Bairro das Artes: a showcase of how arts could fill an empty and abandoned industrial complex in Lisboa. Hopefully won’t be a single event…

Once again at Amplifest, and like the last ones, had a camera with me. Once again, no photos of bands performing or crowds enjoying the music, but that vibe in between shows, with everyone chilling and moving between the two rooms. Just like myself.
