			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday with my girlfriend we went to <strong>&#8220;White night&#8221;*</strong> in Riga. As we haven&#8217;t been for long time visiting any cultural events. From wide program, we went to just few. Like <em><strong>IDM</strong></em> music (at &#8220;Spīķeri&#8221;), tram of fairy tales and Sigur Ros movie &#8220;Heima&#8221;. For me important was to visit places where I haven&#8217;t been, like <strong>RIXC</strong> and &#8220;<a title="Spīķeri" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','www.spikeri.lv']);" href="http://www.spikeri.lv" target="_blank"><em>Spīķeri</em></a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>It was raining and cold, so we miss some events. Still, we started <a href="http://www.RIXC.lv"><strong>RIXC</strong></a>, where we could listen to Universe. <img src='http://rolandinsh.com/travelblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" title="European white nights at RIXC" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2815185124_4884012f48.jpg" alt="European white nights at RIXC" width="500" height="216" /></p>
<p>While idea is great, we couldn&#8217;t stay so long to listen, because it was like listening to old radio with no tuned station on it. But still. I   like idea, because it shows multimedia can collaborate with science.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" title="European white nights at RIXC" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2815186556_3932d193fb.jpg" alt="European white nights at RIXC" width="500" height="375" /><br />

<h2>&#8220;Heima&#8221; movie by Sigur Rós</h2>
<p>Next stop point was <a title="Sigur Rós" href="http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sigur Rós </a> <a title="Heima" href="http://www.heima.co.uk/" target="_blank">movie &#8220;Heima&#8221;</a> in Vērmanes garden. Actually I haven&#8217;t seen so much as I  would like…   because it was raining (again). We watched just some 10 minutes, then we    left.</p>
<h2>Tram &#8220;God&#8221;</h2>
<p>Like next stop, if we can say so, was tram &#8220;<strong>Tram vertical route: God. Nature. Work</strong>&#8221;   with special &#8220;White Night 2008″ connection. The idea came from last   year (2007) to give the public transport, in this case the tram, an   added value.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>baltanakts.lv</em>: &#8220;Special festive trams will be   put on the route thus marking some fundamental topics of human   existence, which this time are taken from the title of the well-known   trilogy by the Latvian writer <strong>Anna Brigadere − God. Nature. Work.</strong>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>It was last tram. So our was &#8220;God&#8221;! <img src='http://rolandinsh.com/travelblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" title="European white nights. Tram GOD" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2815263104_8846466b53.jpg" alt="European white nights. Tram GOD" width="500" height="267" /></p>
<blockquote><p>baltanakts.lv : &#8220;The tram is turned into a spiritual   sanctuary. Everybody has its inner faith and feeling that makes one   believe in oneself and search one&#8217;s own spiritual paths. The space that   inspires oneself to self-confidence, to love towards other people, that   marks one&#8217;s individual uniqueness, advocates tolerance and intellectual   strength. &#8220;</p></blockquote>
<h2>Circus Night in Arkādija</h2>
<p>With tram came to Arkādijas park. As we came just 15 minutes before event is closing there, we miss &#8220;<strong>Circus Night in Arkādija</strong>&#8221; with puppet and circus show. Nothing left to do, just turn back to center. To Spīķeri.</p>
<h2>VIDEOGRAPHY III: SPACE TEXTURES and &#8220;Pink house&#8221;</h2>
<p>By visiting  <a title="Pink House" href="http://www.pinkhouse.lv/" target="_blank">&#8220;Pink house&#8221;</a>, near Spīķeri, I wanted to see some special pig in it. (Story about pig will come later in some other post.)</p>
<p><em><strong>IDM</strong></em> &#8220;dance floor&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>VIDEOGRAPHY III: SPACE TEXTURES</strong> –   Concert with the participation of German, Japanese, Lithuanian and   Latvia visual, video and audio artists. Most of all, whom I saw, I liked <strong>Dj Brain &amp; Cliché</strong></p></blockquote>
<dl>
<dt>Project &#8220;<em><strong>European white nights</strong></em>&#8220;</dt>
<dd>is a public event free of charge that invites to discover (again)   and capture the city environment (again) with the help of contemporary   culture.</dd>
