TIP: Please see the article as a festival story, which is MANDATORY to be lived, as well as a life experience and lesson which gets you places you don't imagine.
Most of you that already know me, probably have figured out whom I'll be talking about on this article. First of all, as a runawayrainbow in this festival world, I needed to experience UNTOLD in all its beauty and music. Most of you may have felt it, and if not, seeing those space out pics and videos from the festival would clearly pull out the picture. So, plan done, waiting for take off on Saturday...I was gone with my Bambi car for Cluj.
This city is another pin on the map that I wanted to check as this is a hot spot for cultural diversity and a different type of fun than in other cities of Romania ~ I LIKE! Sadly I had a car crash on the way to UNTOLD, and my hopes were gone with the same...LIVE Hybrid seemed so far away now...
Jaja...Now for sure you know whom I was going for at UNTOLD. Nevertheless, I am not the type of person who gives up just like that...so, staying on the green grass, sight seeing on a lake on Sunday afternoon, I thought...what if? Should I? When do I? Where can I? Hmm...okay... START! I felt quite okay after the accident, especially after sleeping for 12h, I said I can still recover 9h by train to Untold, plus that I would arrive at 4:30am whilst Dubfire was playing at 5:30. PERFECTION!!! Let's roll!
The train ride was an awesome experience as I got friends with several people and also got some good sleep, jaja. Even if I arrived 1h later than expected. 5:30 Untold entrance, Dubfire started his LIVE Hybrid...I wasn't in yet...they've stopped the entrance at 5...blah blah. After long trials and one bodyguard plus one amazing guy who helped me get in without further problems...there I was. In this huuuuge venue, with all colors on people and all sorts of music and outdoor activities.
( Thank you guys for being so great and nice people! UNTOLD wouldn't have existed for me if it wasn't for you! ) When I entered the Galaxy Stage...the Hybrid was already going on since 10-15 minutes. But until the end, I've been rewarded in music and feel for all that crazy stuff earlier in the weekend. Plus that I've met friends from Bucharest or Cluj and it felt just great!
Sound system? Visuals? Vibe? AMAZING and OUT OF SPACE It was what we came for...and we got it unexpectedly good. Thank you for the awesome time and great music.
After 2 days of wondering around in Cluj and relaxing after UNTOLD, there I was again, in train back to Bucharest.
The festival vibe was still ongoing, as everyone in the train station was UNTOLD image. I made friends with other nice people, with whom we shared experiences and captured moments, as I had the pleasure to meet Gergely, one of the photographers of UNTOLD.
He was open to talk about the experience of capturing the best moments of the festival, and you could understand the magnitude the event had, through someone's "HD optical lens" <3 Just great!
Plus that I got the chance to see a professional work on his photos - good learn! :D
Great pics and awesome moments you have captured, Gergely! Congrats and keep going! You can see his work, among other's talented Romanian photographers over here, on Freedom Film LLC page...enjoy! :D
Also, I was happy to see that, there was an old lady (around 70 years old) the only one in a train full of festival people...by the end of the trip, she was friends with everyone next to her, telling stories and bonding with other generations. I love when I see this happening! <3
Met a couple of kiddos, one of them was studying in Amsterdam and his girlfriend was following him this year - nice to see that there are still youngsters who demand more from their future - good luck, guys! :D
There was also this funny guy - a policeman actually - good connections for the future, jaja :))
All of these, summed up together, rolled out in an amazing and fulfilling experience, which I totally recommend and I am eager to try again next time.
On a higher scale and more days #hihi :P
