How I spent my weekend…

Actually, this post is more about how I spent my Saturday… I had heard that there would be a free festival in Santral Istanbul at the weekend, I read there would be stalls of some vintage brands and accessory brands, so I got curious…I wasn’t expecting anything great, Because I had been to one about three years ago and the vintage part was not really all that promising but this one turned out even worse! Anyway, I couldn’t know about it could I ?

Here is the general view of the place…

Here are some photos of the stalls:

I couldn't help but thinking I could make better versions of most of the accessories there or at least get better ones on the net for cheaper!

I was also curious about the venue itself, it opened a few years ago and it has got ever so popular in time! It’s like the most popular concert and festival venue almost, even surpassed the posh one on the bosphorus side! (almost!) It’s the surroundings of an old unused electric plant at the outskirts of the city so it’s quite interesting…

I like this one:

COK KULE

My boyfriend told me it reminded him of Manchester, especially the indutrial museum there…

The boats were interesting….

KAYIKLAR

The only band performing at the festival: Portecho- They are the Turkish Camouflage!

It looks like they haven’t found enough sponsors on the muisc side of it, at the free festival three years ago, they had some foreign bands as well … I remember The paddingtons and Ms. John Soda….and loads more Turkish bands… But did I enjoy the music then? Not much….
In short, my guess is this festival will find its place in oblivion as its predecessor too…

All in all, I think the most entertaining guys at the festival were these two little kittens….

Especially the yellow one is kind of psycho, or schizo, or both……
