| August 29 Vevey, Switzerland: SWISS WINEGROWERS' FETE, a revival of the Roman Festival of Ceres, Goddess of the Earth, complete with Ceres, Pales, Bacchus, Old Silenus, satyrs & fauns -- & Swiss yodelers.
| "Vevey is in Switzerland, on the coast of Lake Leman (or for the tourists Lake of Geneva). Famous people living in Vevey were Charlie Chaplin who died thereactually. Small town. La Fete des Vignerons as it's called, happen every 25 yearsand is indeed supposed to be a reminiscence of the Pagan Feste. Allparticipants are people from the Area who do it for the beauty of thething, pay their own costumes and it's has been rumors that a libertinespirit is alive between the 5'000 people participating. Today howeverit's a massive conservatives show for 16'000 people per night during amonth. Probably reason why 2 friends of mine Carlos & Toto, real adepts ofBacchus, Mary Jeanne and other mind altering suspense and without doubtunder heavy influence of the mentionned Gods, did jump in theirunderwear in the middle of the arena and run after the cows during thefamous song Le Ranz des Vaches, to protest again the lost spirit of thisfest. This resulted, under the eyes of 16'000 people, of a chase betweenrunning cows and the police and the 2 guys. One of them is the mostsuccessful swiss hip hop artist. So much for Pagan Celebration." Voila, have a nice day. From: ghost editor@boombox.netMon, 30 Aug 1999
