Last night I saw Plaid @ Rote Fabrik. Quite good, but the band that opened, Electric Blanket, was quite the ruckus.

It was also the national holiday, analogous to the 4th of July, and people celebrate with fireworks, and by building fires. This was the one in Wollishofen.

Safety first, there were two firefighters and a slew of firehoses in case it got out of hand (or fireworks went astray).

Later, I headed off to Alte Boerse, and hung out with some really cool Irish girls who are friends of a friend, and danced till the sun came up. All in all, it was a fun Saturday.
