more festival...

The festival that featured the goat reconfiguration in the morning continued in the evening on Sudder St. where a small temple-like structure had been errected for the day; loud loud music was being played, with initially one crazy man and a few kids dancing, growing in numbers over the evening. Attempting to get closer to watch, I was grabbed by the dancers and thrown in - once one foreigner was in there, others soon joined in... eventually the crowd took over the whole width of the street (though of course crazy people still tried to ride their cars, rickshaws, motorbikes through the middle). At one point, I was dancing with one little kid on shoulders and one in each arm, although I accidentally dropped the little one that was sitting on my shoulders into a pile of rubbish head first... upset for a few minutes but it (he/she?) was soon back in the crowd, going from me to some Japanese chick to some european man and back again, throwing flowers on everyone. Some whiskey given to me and the Japanese/Korean? man who were the first foreigners dancing, though as the night progressed, it became weaker and weaker as desperate attempts to make it last longer were made.
