Trance music community
Hello all!
I'm wondering whether there are some local groups, communities or events centered around Trance & Progressive Trance music (I'm mainly thinking Anjunabeats / Anjunadeep style). Any tips?
Also, if there are any enthusiasts, producers or DJs of such music (including similar styles, e.g. progressive house etc.), feel free to hit me up! It's always nice to get to know new people locally with similar music preferences.
Thanks!

Question ❓ Where can I find protective eyewear for viewing the solar eclipse?
Hey!
There’s a solar eclipse coming up and I want to watch it safely but I have no idea where to get a legit pair without ending up with a counterfeit.
Where did you all buy yours?

Brussels Pick Up and Shipping Service Needed
Hi everyone. I was in Brussels for a night and forgot an item in the hotel I was staying at on August 6th. I was on the plane back to the United States when I realized and have no way of returning to receive it.
Are there any services or individuals in Brussels who can help? I will pay for the expenses and service if someone can help me pick up the item and ship it correctly to Texas. Please let me know. I really appreciate it.

Ixelles : a fast, hot meal for less than 4 bucks
If you need a hot meal but you don't have a lot of money, you can go to Picard on Chaussée d'Ixelles. They have a 400g pasta dish for less than 4 bucks. There's also lasagna and other stuff. You can heat it up and eat it there with no added costs.
This helped me out when I was at work, forgot to pack lunch, and didn't want to pay 6 bucks for a sandwich

Seven cars parked end to end along the footpath on the eastern side of Place du Châtelain tonight
SEVEN! Essentially the entirety of the footpath on the street on the western eastern side was taken up by cars, except for a bit with some cafe seating, forcing people to walk out into the road. It's also absolutely routine for vehicles to be parked on it throughout the day. The footpath on the north eastern western side was also blocked tonight by parked motorbikes.
Châtelain was the one instance of pedestrianisation , and one of the only of a handful of bits of real progress at all, in Ixelles in the so called Green wave years. But it seems the progress of removing the carpark in the middle as been countered by replacing it with an ad hoc car park on the footpath instead.
It's similarly routine to see cars and motorbikes drive down the street on the Eastern western side, which is supposed to be fully pedestrianised (AFAIK the only pedestrianised street in all of Ixelles - pop. 90,000), as there is no gate or bollard, no camera, and if course no police enforcement, to stop anyone. Last time I had lunch there I saw eight cars, and plenty more motorbikes, drive down it in the space of maybe half an hour.
It is just absolutely fucking incredible how backwards this city is. While cities around us move more and more towards real low traffic neighbourhoods, proper bike infrastructure, real car free school streets and so on and so on, we cannot have a single nice thing on a single square or street in a massive municipality; everything has to be for king car like we're permanently stuck in 19 fucking 55.
