Maybe next year

This weekend is the Street Parade in Zurich, which is supposed to be a massive techno party akin to the Love Parade in Berlin (which was evidently cancelled this year). There's a part of me that says this is something I shouldn't miss because it's so very Euro and so not DC, but then there's the more rational part of me that says I'm about 15 years too old to enjoy spending a hot day in a crush of roughly a million people listening to electronic music at eardrum-busting volumes.
