The mixture between being a street party and a general movement towards taking back the city is Distortion. It has always been so.
We never saw ourselves as rebels. Don't think that the people behind Distortion are either (at least not anymore). But young and old tend to share the notion that coming together is in general a good thing. On a social level sure - on a cultural, of course - and last but not least, sharing some love.
We were there. We had drinks and we sucked up every second of this.
It was a perfect day (s).
