SPCC A Casa Amarela

Since i came back to lisbon it has been a huge learning process. It has been a really hardcore one here at SPCC. I met a lot of amazing people, from which i learned a lot. The most positive balance i can make and i also learned is that we can take things more lightly when you are facing a problem, conflict, a misunderstanding. We had a LOT of problems so far. Most of them will continue. But none of them stopped any of our ideas and plans to happen. It took a long time for me to realize it. I had become a more negative person here, when i always were the opposite.

Yesterday we had an amazing day. Everybody was going crazy painting or making something to color up and make the squat more fun and comfortable, others were coking some really delicious meals. Danilo, our "google guest" turned to be an AMAZING painter. He did a couple of paintings in the first floor,they were nice but the one outside it was really fucking good. It looks like he gave everything to that wall...Isa (japan) did some amazing "mobiles" in the "war zone" with garbage, including mirrors, Karina painted a welcoming message in the stairs before you reach the hosting floor, moura painted the anarchist flag and wrote some political phrases in the front of the building. Now the building as a peace from a lot of people from all over the world.

On another note, i've been re-amazed with the kind of people that attend to events like Boom. When i was younger and still at school i met and was friend with a lot of persons from the psy trance movement (i also started to enjoy trance since that time), and somehow (not really sure why) i broke my contact with that "tribe". It's really refreshing to see that most of the values are still there, and there are a lot of interesting people from all over the world to meet. We had a lot of people from boom, a lot of them came out of the blue (without request, or came with CS'rs along the way, heard about the place in boom, etc) and the amazing thing was that they where all so different from each other but in the end respectful and tolerant towards difference, something really hard to see and feel in other "tribes" (i kinda don't like this word, but i need to use it). Really refreshing persons.

The guys from GAIA are really nice. They came by and droped their stuff from the freeshop because they had to move from they old place. I would like to work with them somehow.

I'm organizing more photos, not only mine but from some of our guests. And tomorrow maybe i'll post them on the gallery.
