репортаж про Буковель в кедах & kedbl

не забудьте хотя бы иногда находить себя за тысячи километров от цивилизации на просторах  бескрайней вселенной :) Новые олдовые добрые хиппи у нас в Кедах

A girl with soap bubbles at Rainbow Festival, Karelia 2005.

Кеды теперь не просто Kedbl, а The Kedbl! Здесь мы будем писать краткие заметки о наших приключениях:)

Зри в кеды – все, что было увидено, но классификации не поддается

Люди в кедах – замечательные и поражающие своей необыкновенностью Человеки

Музыка в кедах – приходиться прислушиваться, признаемся…

Прогулки в кедах – несомненно великие путешествия

Фестивали в кедах – и так вроде понятно

Надеюсь, что нас ждут настоящие приключения, о которых мы неутомимо будем писать в Кедах:)
