Rock Festival Nightmare Over Stelpe

 
It is 4.15 A.M. but I am sitting and writing. You may guess why. Right! It is not possible to sleep. Terrible noise even with the windows shut. We are about 1 km from the stage but the ground is trembling here under our feet.

All those not attending the festival are in fact now held hostages, and they suffer only because one of their neighbors has lost every sense of proportion and organizes things like this in the middle of an inhabited area. Worst of all, with the blessing of the local government of Vecumnieki.

More to that, the next night promises to be alike if not worse.

I am determined, when the day breaks, to do a research whether there is a legal leverage to restrict these sick ambitions of a disregarding man even though the government institutions have granted the permissions.

I would appreciate if you dropped me a line of comment as to what you would have done if you were exposed to such a torture with noise.

I remember once in Oslo, there was an AC/DC concert. We got into a traffic block and spent there more than an hour. But I do not remember that anyone would complain about noise. Obviously the premises there were adjusted properly to host such a big music event. Yet here they are not.

Update: Susanne in Sweden commented this:

- My friend and I went once to a similar festival by our free choice. Using the earplugs, we slept relatively well in the night. But that site was far away from any inhabited area.
