Routinely, his habits caring, he contributes more to the consequences of the last party night to conceal than because of the glaring sunlight brave his sunglasses and moves elsewhere altogether as a vacationer. Wide sweeps his gaze on the scenery -presenting itself to him until he finally made ​​the appropriate place for themselves for the rest of the day find. Some transitions to the bar scheduled an arm in the air to show the way to be late coming, still sleepy friends. Otherwise, it sits more or less as reverent and listen to the music played him. He often invites his " philistine friends", namely those with children, with sweeping gestures, but to to join him and his. There are no more have the opportunity every weekend to " storm " another disco / another festival.
