Happy parade floods the town !
Have you heard about urban noise administrative fighting? Yep, you know, those crappy pretended politicians, which main dream is living in silent cities, with no parties, no bars, no clubs, youth at home, and no music played anywhere after 10pm. We’ve got a well-known specialist of that kind of conservative people here in Bordeaux, a strangely and powerful addict to sadness, dorm room cities, and I guess that yesterday, he was there, even if I’m sure that; as usual, he was in Paris for the weekend. There was a lot of noise in the streets; a continuous yelling crowd, partying and enjoying life far from the number 6 prisoner’s village ambiance.
 WTF ? Did they restored the CPE ?
No, no… wrong way, this was not a “one more time” protest against the government, event. I managed to locate the boss of that unannounced gathering (I found nothing about it in local newspapers in the morning). This was a student’s inter-cities party, flooding the streets with a main goal: “Against silent cities, let’s party!”.
 From roses nation to military girls...
So… what could you met if you were there by the early evening? Well… about 2500 students taking control of the streets, grouped by team (schools and cities), for a kind of “before” party, between a cool parade, improvised carnival and a parody of “French youth protest” for the right to be happy ! That was colourful, my special mention going to a kind of military troop from the city of Caen, as a wink that kills international conspiracies illness.
 I love that coat, especialy that snow-white's garter !
The red team was made of good drummers, which could be heard from anywhere in the old district of the town. Many creatures were hidden in that happy procession, from excited gorillas to giant turtle’s chicks, but also some kind of heroes escaped from the Matrix, maybe another wink to that unreal performance in such a provincial upper-class city!
 Pom-pom-girls versus Pena-cum-cum !
But that was not only surreal, and filled with imaginary toons or heroes. Traditional demonstrations were performed everywhere, with local cheerleaders in the yellow team and “Pena cum cum” madness. WTF is “Pena cum cum” will you say? Well it looks like something between human millipedes and a minimal rocker’s slamming performance. All of that is always done by robust guys, .more shaped as rugby men than opera rats…
 From trendyness to Jungo Edwards fanclub !
I ran everywhere in the city in order to cover that event, especially when it came to reach “St-Pierre” area, which is now the typical hype’n’trendy attitude district of Bordeaux, where you can meet many people filled with fashion moods. By the way, I found a brand new “couple of the year” for King Negrito’s contest, joining by the hand an Arno/Higelin looking artist and real top-style and beautiful blond girl!
As I said, Bordeaux is a conservative city. Especially in those kind of districts, where you can have a look to each kind of dressing style that will be reputed as old-fashioned in only a few monthes. I really enjoyed seeing that naked man, wearing just a string with his green hair, chocking all that local upper-class; it had a small taste of the sex pistols performance during the Queen’s jubilee. Unreal and amazing!
 No, no, they do not ask for a group picture...
It was now time for me to have a cool drink. I took that last picture. Have you ever heard about “Mardi Gras” in New-Orleans? Surely, that girl did not, and the happy crowd tried to explain it to her for a long, long time. That could have been a totally unseen performance in Bordeaux but… unfortunately, it did not work!
