Coll Selini @ Queens Day Fest

Coll Selini @ Queens Day Fest

Arnhem - April 29th-30th 2008. You really have to see it with your own eyes.
The Queensday Festival attracts 700,000 visitors each year. We heard all the
stories but were unprepared for the sheer massive volume of people. Even the
videos and pictures don't tell the whole story, as we were just in one section of
the town. We had no sleep for 2 days. DJ's played on various sound stages around
the square, some big, many smaller, yet attracting thousands of people to each stage.
The atmosphere was claustrophobic, but one of the best events I have
ever participated in. 2 hours away the same festival scene attracted
3 million people in Amsterdam taking nothing away from the vibe in Arnhem.
Playectra & Open Bar Music produced an incredible line-up of local and
international DJs that included Sirkhan, Ivan Robles, Jordan Rivera,
Darren Holland, Simon Finnegan, Franky Sweetz, Coll Selini, Chris Salman,
Vincent Noval, Maroy. Performers Ama Zedry, and Faada Spooonface
held host-mic duties. Speakers pulsated across the town, and could be
heard for miles. The most amazing aspect for me was after it was all over.
It's 5am, and I am walking back to my room walking on top a sea of paper cups.
Over 500,000 empty plastic beer cups. Now to the amazing part. I am in my room
sleeping while the streets were humming with clean up crews all over.
The next day we wake up, and all the cups were gone, like the event never
happened. Then 9:30 am we start all over, and people start pouring into the
town again.
