I had a telephone conversation with Narek from Bambir yesterday. Just wanted to make clear if they refused to play with us because of  "totalitarian and corrupt" nature of sksel a and didn't let us know about it honestly and openly. Narek was absolutely shocked that some "journalists" and other unknown people made publicly  such a statement. He reminded that they were playing for open-air Barekendan, attended all the prep. meetings and the concert itself - they wouldn't be involved from the very beginning if they have had a point. We are good friends for ages and this just couldn't be a case, we know each other quite well to be open with each other and respect each others decisions. And after all, he said, no one has any right to talk publicly of their behalf and make statements they never did.

For the rest there are no comments. We did our best, as much as we could, with all the love and commitment all we have. I am proud of all the bands who played, who made speeches, notes, remarks, who were absolutely fantastic on the stage playing for FREE for the IDEA. My heart is full of words, of feelings and emotions I would like to share in person, and hopefully we'll meet all together for a good beer and good chat very soon. Thank you, guys, once again - you've really changed a lot - at least in my mind.

P.S.S. Today is John Lennon's birthday and Bambir is giving a concert at Avangard on 21:00. We are going to be let me know if anyone wants to join !!!
