September brings another happening event for the techno and electro music lovers, the 9th edition of Techno Parade. It was on September 15th and it was my second time to join this huge parade. It started at Place de la Bastille at 2pm moving its crazy noisy crowd towards Rue St Antoine, Rue de Rivoli, Bd Sébastopol, Place de la République, Bd Voltaire, Bd Richard Lenoir then back to Bastille at 6pm.
We decided to pop out of the apartment to join the parade around 4ish pm at Bd Sébastopol and to crawl along towards Bastille. It was this huge wave of mostly young people pumping themselves along the music. Two sides of streets were also packed of people who would prefer to observe than to actually join in and being squeezed like a squeeze ball. We, however, alternately switched between being an observer and a squeeze ball.
It was interesting to see people being so into the high of the moment dancing and showing off their "Tektonik" moves as if they were in a dance competition. People who go out in a club in Paris might know what dance moves I'm talking about. It seems all the French teens have been practicing and perfecting this certain move so well, as I said, like they were entering in a competition. Along the way, there would be a few people or more on the roof of the bus stops and kiosks jumping and posing for a random photographer.
Finally around 6ish pm, all were gathered at Place de la Bastille. The party went on until around 8ism pm when people started to either go lead their normal evening life or go get ready to party later in the night. We were supposed to come home and get ready for a big techno party at La Villette. I decided to take a quick nap and before I know it, it was in the morning I woke up. Oh well.
PS There was this super cool old lady who was waving at the crowd and moving along with the music at her own balcony. To add how amazing it was, the crowd who walked pass the spot waved back with the cheering and all.
