Wednesday Feb 17th, 00:30hr, the 2010 ‘Mestreechter vasteloavend’ ended half an hour ago but in front of the Take Five Café a merry bunch of boys & girls still dance to beats by The Proxy, Boys Noize and others, not yet willing to end their participation in the 72-hour yearly festival. The music comes from the soundsystem built into the cart with the blue light (belonging to the folks with the ‘Braveheart’-theme). It’s one of many, many carts and weird contraptions pulled, towed or just driven around the city by all kinds of dressed up people
