Recordist's notes
A collective has organised a New Year's Reception "from everybody by everybody" in a former Pizza Hut in the city center of Brussels. The Pizza Hut has apparently closed 2 years ago, and remains empty since then. Everyone was invited to come and bring something to create the event. There were pancakes, candles, speakers, flashlights, instruments... We were around 60 people. It was a magical moment that has last 1 hour, which is quite a lot for an illegal party in the heart of Brussels. The event was very visible from the street because there were big windows, and the passers-by were very amused and intrigued. At the end, the police came and asked everyone to leave the place. It is so rare to party and meet people in the city center without paying for something
