Morning comes early

Tomorrow is the beginning of the three-day celebration of Fasnacht in Basel, which for some reason begins at the ungodly hour of 4:00am Monday morning. It's evidently quite a spectacle and this may be our only chance to see it. We're lucky enough to have friends who live along the route, and we plan to be at their place (with our coffee maker) by 4:00, which may entail getting on a tram around 3:00am. (!) So even though it's only 8:15pm now, I'm already starting to think about bed time...
