So I played in Solingen, the town that made the news everywhere with the knife attack of the lunatic Syrian guy. I didn't find the town very attractive to be honest. The centre was more or less dead. There was a market going on so I decided to play there. Not so many people around either, but the people that were there were appreciating the music, well most of them, because one of the woman from the market came to ask me to go away and to sit at the other side of the street at the shopping centre. When I went to the toilet in the shopping centre I realised why the real centre was dead everybody was here. So I played one more hour at the entrance of the shopping centre. I was sitting against a huge concrete wall with nothing in or on it. When the security guards from the shopping centre came to tell me I could not sit against their gigantic empty wall I decided that I had enough of Solingen. Probably a mistake because many people were really ok, just not the people in charge. But i went back to Hilden because I thought it would be nicer there.
