The photo above is of me and Kaiser at Kortrijk Conge. He told me his whole name, his real name - but I forgot it. So Kaiser or anyone else reading this who knows him, leave a comment with his name please - other wise this will feel incomplete. So who is this Kaiser-dude anyway? Well, he formerly played in the Kortrijk band Moonlake with former Face The Day Guest Steven Tanghe. This link leads you to some old interview with him and Steven and other members of Moonlake. Anyway, Kaiser and Steven are now playing together in a new band called Marathon. Their CD is due to come out in about 10 years from now. What more can I say about Kaiser? I don't know. I don't know him all that well. He's a nice guy. He's single for all you single ladies out there and he's pretty cute - so he might be a catch! What can I say about Kortrijk Conge? Well, it was fun to be out and about in Kortrijk running into people we know and seeing some good stuff and some not-so-good stuff. I can't say I enjoyed the Jimi Tenor Big Band very much at all - just not my thing. The best thing I saw the whole night, which took place at 2 am, was Etalala prepared through the Passerelle dance company along with Kortrik's Polydans company. Etalala took place in a shop and shop window with the 7 female dancers inside, behind the glass, and the audience outside in the street. It was a very jovial and frivolous dance act done by teenagers I think. They were all very smiley and lovely to watch. Great setting. Another performance called Ewout D'Hoore also didn't really do it for me. It was in a great location - the old Post Office in Kortrijk, but it went on too long and wasn't far out enough or funny enough to make an impact or statement. It was with 5 people I think at a "swimming pool", which was really just an empty room with some water thrown on the floor. The swimmers got naked in front of us so there were a lot of body parts to be seen - they put on their swimsuits and the flopped and slid around on the floor or blew up rafts -- or sang lalala. It was good for a little bit but then dried up, so-to-speak.
I had a good time at Kortrijk Conge but mostly that had to do with the general atmosphere rather than with the entertainment. My main conclusion is that Kortrijk is such a great place to live!
