The second (or third if you count thursday) and last day of the Way Out West festival was great in terms of fundraising, people were really open to contributing and to have a chat so the team had a great time and I got a lot of video material for my little WFP-project. There weren’t as many must-see artists but Wiz Khalifa did a very energetic show and it was good fun to watch all the indie hipsters go all-in-gangsta, Jarvis Cocker from Pulp invited the whole audience for a beer “if you just take a sip and pass it on it will be enough for everybody, right?” and Kanye West was… well, he entered the show on a skylift and with a very dramatic expression on his face.. there was smoke.. golden rain.. insane fans fainting because they would be crushed in the crowd.. very violent dancers.. “I’ma need to see your fucking hands at the concert“.. and a lot of auto-tune. A very entertaining and good show indeed, but I can’t imagine anybody loving Kanye as much as Kanye loves himself.

I spent three beautiful days at the Way Out West festival in sunny Gothenburg. I was there representing WFP in the UN tent and it was good fun and a great experience, I am really happy I got the opportunity to join. And the festival? A really good vibe, beautiful people, fantastic performances by, among many others, Janelle Monáe, Fleet Foxes, Santigold, Robyn, Kanye West and.. Prince. Seriously, Prince pulled off the best show I have ever been to. No doubt. He owned it and we all loved it.. and when the Purple Rain fell people were delirious with euphoria. I still am.

Here are some photos from friday. You’ll get the rest soon, I have a job to wake up to tomorrow! :) Goodnight.
