It's gettin hot, let's go out! // Happening // Added 2008/07/02 at 15:26
Just as Monday comes after Sunday, summer comes after spring. Ah… summer, a generous sun, long days, drinks and diners stretching out until the moon is way up in the sky. Boys are tanned, girls get dolled up, their legs sculpted by long swims in the sea… and everyone’s filled and boosted by the intense pleasure of these precious moments... Boys and girls are looking for the communion of bodies, in the heart of the night. Hmm… No comment.
summer = sun + concerts + beers + new people
sun: it’s not up to us :>
concerts: we can help out ^=^
Beer: never a problem :D
new people: your move :p
To make it short: we love summer. Especially as it’s the best time to take a break in the country and enjoy open-air concerts… Check out the list below and see if some interesting stuff’s going on next to where you are.
