David Grey didn't know he was starting a 4 day festival when he and some friends decided to create the first ever Darkstream Festival, running May 29- 31, 2020.  Billed as 'an online festival of the shadow arts, with music, literature, and art' it's the first of its kind as artists across the globe grapple with the impact of quarantine- and their fans are looking for ways to get engaged with their favorite performers and creators. 

Learn how it came about and how one of our favorite German bands, Oberer Totpunkt are managing through the COVID19 crisis.

Pfingsten: Many Christians in Germany observe the Second Day of Pentecost, on the day after Pentecost (or Whitsunday). It is a national public holiday. Pentecost commemorates the Holy Ghost's descent on Jesus Christ's disciples, according to the Bible.

WGT (Wave Gotik Treffen) = Wave Gothic Meeting. "WGT" is every year around Pfingsten: 4-5 Days. Next year ist 30th anniversary! One band of the first small festival with 5 bands in 1991 was by the way "Das Ich". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-Gotik-Treffen - now around 200 Bands. It´s in Leipzig, located in what was East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Galeano had dreams of becoming an educator as a child— literally dreams.  She would explain the etymology of the English language and teach Shakespeare, before she'd even read his work.

After graduating from college, she taught Beowulf and Macbeth to adult education students working on their high school diplomas. They were grandmas who wanted to proudly tell their grandchildren that they too had completed their high school education. Teens who needed to work during the day to support their families. Girls who were pregnant and waiting to give birth. She found that the content of the classes got in the way of her knowing these hardworking folks. So she gave up Macbeth and started focusing on the conversations. Eagerly, she learned more about her students, heard their stories, taught less, and listened more.

Galeano joined us to share stories of life in Coronavirus and how people are connecting in this time of social distance.

Matt Mooney was respecting social distance protocols and local emergency measures while, with his wife, taking his 6 year old daughter out for a much needed excursion on April 5. He didn't expect his Sunday afternoon breath of fresh air to become a national flash point for the current debate about governmental overreach. We appreciate his candor and his sensible approach to looking for the balance of public safety and personal liberty.
