GP's Worldwide Festival 2008

Yeah!
The year starts off with some good news:
2008's Worldwide Festival in Sète, Southern France, is going to take place from July 3-5.
Even before, there's gonna be the Singapore version on May 16-18.
For details and teasers check http://www.myspace.com/worldwidefestival and http://www.worldwidefestival.com/.
I'll definitely try again to go there.

Oops, sorry.
I think this has been the longest period in which I haven't posted anything.

We'll see.
Stay tuned in 2008.
