The second Flatstock Europe , an international gathering of Poster artists what took place in the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, fell this year, it came to the number of the attending representatives of the guild, very poor. Reason: The organizers could not ausmähren and they were only five Weeks before the event, sure they want to do this now anyway. Too late, especially for artists from overseas who could not get cheap flights more.
stood as only nine measly Zeltchen on the Spielbudenplatz, including Lil Tuffy, who indicated last year it was and has now fallen in Hamburg, because it is so similar as the native of San Francisco is. The open space solution - single tents and free space in the middle as opposed to a big tent last year - would have been beautiful in the sunshine.

If the next year with the Reeperbahn Festival runs so bad, you should send the times to Pop Up music fair in Leipzig. Or regardless of - Finally, there is in Europe yet and right now marketed by such an event certainly many friends inside.
