Sex Action : Sex Action performing on the Rock Stage.

Joga : Massage, Thai Chi and Joga are widely practiced throughout the island. While I refer my body solely to sleep and coffee to alter its degrees of rest and calm instead, I doubt not that it can work for you and certainly enjoy watching the process.

On the Beach : Despite 'sziget' meaning 'island' in Hungarian, it's easy to forget that you are surrounded by water, while immersed in he festival offerings, and certainly possible to be aware and yet oblivious that there are beaches around you. I reserve the right to feel a certain homoerotic vibe looking around in this one, but at least reminisce of my adolescent reading of the Lord of the Flies.

Quimby (Stage Right) : From last.fm:
Quimby has its root in one of the biggest industrial cities of western Hungary. The band members met during their high school years in Dunaújváros, Hungary at the end of the eighties and played covers of their favorite artists under the moniker October. After they fled from the city and the school, the band went on a short term hiatus until 1991 when they reunited in Budapest, where Quimby actually formed. » more

Memories : Hungarian old timers like to say, 'The only thing worse than communism is post-communism'. Now, I would take that witha grain of salt, but there's a certain attachment in many to some things from that era. And Sziget Festival 2009, once again, brings you an exhibit of artifacts from everyday Hungarian life of its infamous recent history, with a guide brought back to life for this very purpose.

Trabart (Engine Out) : Five dilapidated Trabants were given a chance of revival under the hands of art students. Revival, not in the sense of living, but more in the sense of going out in style. Odd that this project should coincide with news of Trabant making a true comeback as an electric car - if that is to be believed.

AXE Promotional Scrub : AXE shower gel packets and sponges were covering the island grounds fairly densely by the end of the festival. But can you blame the festival goers for volunteering for a scrub by the scantily dressed assistants?

Main Stage VIP Area : As you can see the VIP area behind the Main Stage, although off-limits to most, is just another hangout, but without the excitement all other watering holes have to offer around the island grounds.

Backstage : A quick peak at the Main Stage backstage area.
