Ability Park :

Equilibrium : Traveling Fun Fair :

Tankcsapda Crowd : You get a pretty good view of the crowd and of a gorgeous sky from the handicap access vieweing area during the anniversary performance of Tankcsapda.

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.

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.
