I meant to blog about this event right after it happened and was frankly unforgivably lazy about blogging for the longest time. Now I’ve blogged about an event since the guilt pressure is finally high enough that I’m going to actually write this up.

This was our first time in Vienna and our first time in Austria. Aside from the fact that we would get to see some of Vienna we were excited to see some friends for the first time in what seemed like ages. Wildties, Redsabbath, Saki Kamijoo and her model Mayumi Sumi. It’s incredible to think that over the last couple of years we’ve met up with each other variously in London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Chicago and now Vienna. It frankly is incredible to think that this kind of thing now seems so perfectly natural.

As usual I’m going to have to take a moment to mention the people that organise events like this. I have to say that they very probably do a better job than I could and we were well looked after being collected from the airport and well informed about everything that was going on. I especially have to say thank you to those that spared their time to show us round some of their magnificent city. It’s really spectacular.

But before that the festival itself. We were really pleased to be asked to open the festivals shows and the venue was great being in a brewery in the city. The bar section where the opening was held was dark and filled with old blackened wood. It provided a great setting for the opening and a great atmosphere for the performance with the audience close around and dim and faceless to us because of the stage lights that were bright on us. Here is a gallery of that first show. Shibari suspension performance, Vienna Rope Festival. Reverse prayer hands 後手 合掌 縛り – Gote Gasshou Shibari Shibari suspension performance, Vienna Rope Festival.

One thing I must mention about the Festival was that there was a free bar all through it and that nobody at the event got drunk or was irresponsible with their drinking at all. I think we can all imagine events where that would not be the case.
