Those who know me can imagine I had too much time on my hands to meet fK at ESE - I´m always too early and especially when we get to meet the new boss!
So I wandered around a bit and took pics of "the tent", KulturImZelt, culture in the tent, which takes place each summer here in Braunschweig.
They offer sustainability market, jazz, pop, chansons or classical music, readings, cabaret, comedy, theater...
Did I go? So far not, because it is FULL TO THE BRIM. In a tent!
fK and her wife went a couple of times and I got these:
Call me overly anxious but the Love-Parade-desaster in Duisburg 2010 comes to my mind.
How do you get out of there in case of panic?
Would you go? This is for Tom´s Signs2.

The popular flowing white cotton fabrics were not only one of the products that came from plantations that operated with slavery, but also a real danger for the wearers.
But things got even worse. In 1809, the fabric we know today as tulle was invented. There could hardly be anything more flammable.
British ballerina Clara Webster reportedly died in 1845 after her dress caught fire on the stage of the London Theatre when it came too close to the stage lights.
As a popular material for nightgowns and underwear, the fabric also posed a risk for household accidents, such as catching fire from a candle."

What do we do???? "It" cannot get on the tram, can he? And... he´s standing right beside a kid, too!

I would go, but with doubts, that's for sure. What a wonderful photo of the crinoline
I love ❤️ the photo of the crinoline. Dear friend Iris, warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love. 💖
I´m still not sure. I mean, yes, Germany... safe? But then Love-Parade was also Germany...
Oh, dear friend Linda, I am glad we don´t have to wear such... "constructions" - In jeans, much love and warm hugs, accompanied by a cuppa chocolate tea! 🥰
I like to be early too, especially if it gives me time to wander around and check things out. The inside of that tent is quite something. And the size of those hoops means no one can get close to you at all. Holy cow. Fashion is a silly thing sometimes. Hope all is good at your end. hugs-Erika
Culture in a tent is such a cool concept.
Yes, something! Dunno if I´ll dare next year to visit the tent.
The hoops--- sometimes I want to wear one around my waist so people at the cash-out, or in general, keep a proper distance like in COVID-times!
Here so-so, hope you have a good day, too, hugs
But is it safe?
You are right about the dangers in the tent -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Crowded places like that tent make me nervous since covid, Iris.
I'm so glad I don't need to dress like that woman.
...Iris, that's one HUGE tent, I don't enjoy crowds!
I'm always early too. I like that tent - those concerts would be such fun!
Sadly, huh - it looks so beautiful!
RedPat, I´d be more afraid of a fire or such! All the plastic and the strong lights!
But, speaking of covid: That dress keeps people at bay!
Yup, Tom, with ya!
Dad used to say, better be 10 minutes early than 5 minutes late.
Hah... not so sure about sitting so close to tall strangers..
I usually don't go in tents that have lots of people. It gets very warm and uncomfortable.
And dangerous!
Too many people for me. LOL Ohhh can you imagine wearing that?
What a glorious red tent! But yes, crowded places are a big no for me too.
That chandelier is wye-popping though.
What a fascinating post so much here! Thank you!
I'm enjoying your countdown to Creep :)
All the best Jan
Tulle for nightgowns and underwear? I thought tulle is that mesh stuff tutus are made of, hardly suitable as underwear. "It" is cute. I wouldn't go in that market unless I was REALLY interested in what they were showing and probably even then decide not.
I agree, too many people and well, yes, wearing that construction keeps peeps at bay!
Yes, too crowded!
Thank you :-)
Yes, a fun bunch, huh :-)
They were crazy in that area, I think. And not knowing much, poor fellas!
I read "It" at age 14, bought the book in London, dumb idea, I was too young maybe. Clowns freak me out, I go with Sami there, LOL. The markets likely are outside but everything else is in the tents... I don´t think I will go there...
