Ashwednesday 6 February 2007 at 14h11 get together in the center of MAASTRICHT. Place of meeting: Markt square in front of the stairs of the town hall. Cool down activities… what we’ll do we’ll see… visit pub (NO disguise…!!), eat some herrings (the traditional thing to do on Ashwednesday), visit Ashwednesday-mess, go to the movies… getting a suntan… eating a sandwhich… ;) Visiting some new friends… ;)

Coming by car: parkings

Free parking north (from Eindhoven etc): at the traffic lights at the end of the A2 go right, then 2nd

crossing left, follow the curve (Franciscus Romanusweg) and park under the bridge.

Free parking west (from Belgium over Bilzen-Veldwezelt): traffic lights after the border straight

on, first huge roundabout straight on, traffic lights straight on, 2nd roundabout to the left. Check the situation, the parking dudes change the regulations all the time!!

CARNAVAL – COUCH SURFING – HOSPITALITY CLUB – BE WELCOME - VASTELAOVEND

Free parking east (from Liege): 2nd traffic lights on N2 go right, drive a little on and look for free places (the parking dudes change the regulations all the time!!).

Coming by train / busAs many will be coming by train from more northern regions in the Netherlands here is only a suggestion for travelling from that direction. Here are the optimum trains to arrive well on time… the idea is to get a party train of Maastricht bound HCS people going… that’s not that easy to organise, but hey, just get in that party train, take a place in the first 2nd class carriage… make yourself recognisable as a Couch Surfer… Oh, if you’ve never celebrated Carnaval… people in that train will look very colourful, believe me…

Madness in Maastricht a Carnival lexicon

Here’s an introduction for all who are concerned, grabbed from the web :)

Culture, Leisure, Travel, posted March 12th, 2003 Alaaf is the official greeting during Carnival. It is repeated three times, while placing the top of the right hand not to the right side of the forehead, as is customary, but to the left temple. The “alaaf” greeting is used throughout the Rhineland and is possibly a parody of the strong militarism of the Prussians. The origin of the word may stem from the Yiddish “alaaf”, the first letter of the alphabet, and could refer to the head of the army. It might also be a pointer to “eleven”, the number symbolising the madness of Carnival.Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the Christian church and marks the end of Carnival. In earlier times, the length of the Lent celebration varied but it eventually began six weeks (42 days) before Easter. This provided only 36 days of fasting (excluding Sundays). In the 7th century,

four days were added before the first Sunday in Lent in order to establish 40 fasting days, in imitation of Jesus Christ’s fast in the desert.

Carnival: the derivation of the word is uncertain, although it can be traced to the Medieval Latin “carnem levare” or “carnelevarium”, which means “to take away or remove meat”. This coincides with the fact that Carnival is the final festival before the beginning of the 40 days of Lent, during which Roman Catholic in earlier times abstained from eating meat. The historical origin of Carnival is also obscure. It possibly has its roots in a primitive festival honouring the beginning of the New Year and the rebirth of nature, though it may also be linked to the pagan Saturnalia festival of ancient Rome.

Dialect: during Carnival, everyone in Limburg seems to have forgotten their Dutch and only speak their own local dialect. Carnival texts - announcements, songs, newspapers and websites - are all written in dialect. And every city, town and village in Limburg has their own specific dialect, with different words and accents!

Eleven: the reason why eleven represents the fool’s number may be traced back to the old belief that one becomes mad after being bitten

MAASTRICHT – COLOGNE (D) – HEERLEN - LANDGRAAF – 1 TILL6 FEBRUARY 2008

CARNAVAL – COUCH SURFING – HOSPITALITY CLUB – BE WELCOME - VASTELAOVENDby an elf, a mythological diminutive spirit in the German folklore who delights in mischievous tricks. But the two number ones next to each other can also be seen as a sign of equality. During Carnival, thanks to masks and other forms of disguise, everyone is equal and all hierarchy is abolished. Eleven is also an evil number as it exceeds the ten commandments.Flag: Maastricht boasts a new flag during Carnival. Its colours, red-yellow-green, can be seen just about everywhere in the Carnival decorations in the streets,

shops, cafes, people’s costumes and music bands uniforms.Herring: on Ash Wednesday it is customary to mark the end of Carnival by eating herring on the Onze Lieve Vrouw Square. This fish also symbolises the 40-day fasting time which starts on that day.Keys: on the day before the beginning of Carnival, the mayor of Maastricht hands over the keys of the city to Prince Carnival. From that moment on and during the three following days, the Prince is the sole ruler of the city.Lent: it was the practice in Rome

for penitents to begin their period of public penance on the first day of Lent. They were sprinkled with ashes, dressed in sackcloth and obliged to remain apart until they were reconciled with the Christian community on Maundy Thursday (the Thursday before Easter). In the modern Roman Catholic church, on Ash Wednesday the worshiper

is marked on the forehead with a cross of ashes obtained by burning the palms used on the previous Palm Sunday.Limburg: the Carnival celebration in Limburg is strongly influenced by the Rhineland Carnival, with Cologne as its main centre. The revival of Carnival in the 19th century coincided with a time when people felt nostalgic about the Holy Roman empire under emperor Charles V Prince. Carnival is actually an impersonation of emperor Charles V and his costume is inspired by garments worn in the 16th century. The Carnival’s parade is in many ways an imitation of Charles Vs entrance into the city. In Maastricht however, the shape of the Prince’s hat shows a clear influence of the Napoleonic rule in the Netherlands.Mooswief is the most important symbol of the Maastricht Carnival. The Mooswief is a statue on the Market square representing a Maastricht housewife on her way to the market for vegetables, cabbage and fruits. A big replica of the statue is put up on a pole on the Vrijthof for the entire duration of Carnival. On Shrove Tuesday at midnight, Carnival officially ends when everyone has sung the Maastricht anthem and the Carnival song of the year. The Prince then brings down the Mooswief and hands back the keys of the city to the mayor.

Nonnenvotten are a typical speciality during Carnival. These fried pastries originally come from the town of Sittard,

MAASTRICHT – COLOGNE (D) – HEERLEN - LANDGRAAF – 1 TILL6 FEBRUARY 2008

CARNAVAL – COUCH SURFING – HOSPITALITY CLUB – BE WELCOME - VASTELAOVENDtaste like donuts and look like knots. “Non” is a sterilised female pig, whose bottom is particularly round and fat.Parade: during the Parade, the Prince is accompanied by his guards - called the “Kachelpiepers” in Maastricht - who parody the real army by dancing with flowers at the end of their rifles. The Prince and his guards are followed by “Dansmariekes”, representing the camp women who provided the soldiers with drinks, food and entertainment.Prince Carnival: every year on November 11, the Council of Eleven of each Carnival association comes together to elect one of their members to the title of Prince Carnival. The Prince’s task is to lead the preparations for the festivities. A composer writes a song for the year and the associations’ orchestras and dance groups rehearse for the big parade. Other members of the associations choose a theme for a float and start building and decorating it accordingly. This theme can be related to an important person or event in the news. Sunday: Carnival in Maastricht officially starts on Carnival Sunday at 12.11 pm, when the Momus cannon is shot 11 times on the Vrijthof square. The Mooswief, the symbol of Carnival in Maastricht, is also raised on a highpole.

Tempeleers: name of the most important Carnival association of Maastricht. The Tempeleers organise all important meetings and events related to Carnival, including the election of Maastricht’s Prince Carnival and the ‘Zaate Herremeniekes’

(Carnival music bands) contest. The Zaate Herremeniekes (Zaate meaning literally ‘drunken’) walk through the city, playing in bars and end up on the Vrijthof. A special jury

awards the best band with a prize. A statue of a Zaate Herremenie dressed in Carnival costume can be seen on the Vrijthof. Vastelaovend is the common dialect name for Carnival in Maastricht. It is often thought to refer to the last evening before fasting. However, the word “vastel” can also be linked to the German words “Fas”, “Fasel” or “Vasel”, which are associated with the idea of fertility and growth. The Roman feasts of Bacchanalia and Lupercalia also marked the end of the winter and the beginning of spring, and celebrated the regeneration of nature. Later on, these festivities were influenced by Germanic spring rituals, when the winter spirits were chased away by crowds making a lot of noise and wearing costumes symbolising the ancestors and the winter spirits.Women’s Carnival: in Cologne, where this tradition stems from, the event is called “Altweiberfasching” and takes place on the Thursday before the beginning of the Carnival. It is a kind of liberated “women’s day” where women storm town halls, banks and offices and snip or even cut men’s neckties. In Limburg, the “auw wieverbal” is a popular bal where people disguise as old women. Source: Crossroads print edition, March 2003

Elf tips voor een geslaagde VastelaovendThis one is just in Dutch, taken from the web (observant.nl), explaining eleven golden and never changing rules of Carnival.

Wie de spelregels van carnaval kent, heeft jarenlang plezier van het feest der feesten. Hij hoeft nooit meer iets bij te leren, want de regels veranderen nooit. Elf tips voor een geslaagde vasteloavend:

1. Begin op zaterdag, net als de Maastrichtenaren, maar verkleed je niet. Officieel begint het feest namelijk pas op zondag, en de Hollènders zijn altijd zeer makkelijk te herkennen omdat ze al op zaterdag verkleed zijn. Ze voelen zich dan zó bekeken dat ze besluiten zich op zondag niet meer te verkleden. Dan staan ze opnieuw voor lul.

2. Trek geen overal aan met leuke spreuken. Boerenkielen zijn eveneens uit den boze! De Maastrichtenaar begint met Kerstmis aan zijn pèkske, en het resultaat is er dan ook naar. Sla je slag op de uitverkoop van de kerstafdeling van V&D.

3. De leukste plek om buiten carnaval te vieren is de route Platielstraat - Amorsplein - Achter het Vleeshuis - Wolfstraat - Onze Lieve Vrouweplein - Koestraat - Stenen Brug. Daar eenmaal aangekomen, ga je dezelfde weg terug. Op de drukste avonden (zondag en dinsdag) is dan je avond om en je geld op.

4. Ook al dreig je in de mensenzee op deze route iemand kwijt te raken, beheers je en laat je niet verleiden tot een polonaise. Het allergevaarlijkst is om in een polonaise voorop te lopen en als vreugde-uiting beide wijsvingers in de lucht te steken.

5. Ook al begin je het nóg zo leuk te vinden, en ook al is het nóg zo’n geaccepteerd gebruik in Waddinxveen: ga niet met glazen gooien. Nee, ook niet met alleen de inhoud.Veel lucratiever is het tegendeel: verzamel 11 lege glazen en lever ze in bij café Falstaff (Amorsplein) voor een gratis pils.

6. Wil je naar binnen, probeer dan café De Belsj (officieel: Stenen Brug, in de gelijknamige straat). Vooral in trek vanwege het Professore loere: hoogleraren bespieden en betrappen op buitenechtelijke tongzoenen.Oefen eerst op de carnavalsdiscipline ‘binnenkomen in drukke cafés’ in minder drukke etablissementen aan het OLV-plein.

7. Jongens plassen in een zijstraat van het Amorsplein, richting Grote Staat, tegen een garagepoort.

8. Meisjes plassen tussen geparkeerde auto’s: veel minder gevaarlijk dan in cafés.

9. Eet vet en veel: eerst frites, dan vis, dan hamburger, en dan weer van vooraf aan. Braken: zie 7.

10. De beste haringen op woensdag: café De Poort, Oude Tweebergenpoort. Zuur, maatje, zalm, oester, het is er allemaal en - uiteraard - gratis. Ga niet graaien, dan val je weer zo op (zie ook 1). Wees gerust: de aanvoer gaat door tot diep in de nacht. Niet verkleden!

11. En als het desondanks niet lukt, vergeet alles en verlaat de stad. De Keukenhof bijvoorbeeld, gaat open rond carnaval, en is een aardig alternatief.

Jao, iech haw vaan gezèllige boel,en daan laot iech de boel mer de boel.Iech wil danse, en get sjanse,want geer wit wat iech bedoel.Deit diech good aon dien priij, laot mer goon,laot de puutsjes neet stèl blieve stoon.En mer zinge, en mer springe, want 't is nog neet gedoon.

Refrein:En noe de hennekes de loch in,en kiek miech lachend aon,daan geit toch veur ederein de zörreg vaan de baon.En noe de hennekes de loch in,en kiek miech lachend aon,

8. En nou die hèndjes(And now the hands up in the air)Language Bosch / Brabants

Hedde gij ook wel eens dat gevoel van laat nou eens de boel maar de boelOm te dansen en te sjansen, ach je weet wat ik bedoelMaar ge denkt dan: wat moet ik alleen, waar kan ik in m’n eentje nou heenMaar warempel, hier geen drempel, hier sta je nooit alleen

refr.:En dan die handjes de lucht in,

en kijk me lachend aanDan zal er voor jou een wereld open gaanEn dan die handjes de lucht in, en kijk me lachend aanDan zal er voor jou ook een oetel kweken gaan

‘t Is een lust veur ‘t oog a ge ziet hoe een oetel drie dagen genietMet z’n hossen deur het Bossche, en hij zingt zijn hoogste liedOok al wete ge niet hoe ‘t moet, weet je niet hoe een oetel dat doetKijk maar naar me, kw=8Ak maar naar me, het gaat vanzelf goed

9. Roed, geel en greun(Red, yellow and green) Frans Theunisz (Maastricht, 1999)

Iech drink tot iech mien zörreg noe vaanzelf weer vergeet,want ’t is weer tied um te goon stappe.Iech hoof neet lang te zeuke, d’r zien kaffees bij de vleet,boe iech weer e pèlske kin goon happe.

De ganse buurt is verseerd, d’r is weer get te doen,de vlagge haange bove alle deure.De zuus ’t aon de lui, dao hingk weer stumming in de loch.en wat miech opvèlt, dat zien weer die kleure.

Refrein:Roed, geel en greun is de kleur vaan vastelaovend.Roed, geel en greun is de kleur vaan karneval.Lol en plezeer vaan de mörge tot d’n aovend.Roed, geel en greun zuuste noe weer euveral.

Vaan Eijsde tot in Venlo en vaan Sittard tot in Mook.Jao, in Mestreech en ouch weer in Zuzaote.Dao hingk ‘ne sfeer dee kinste preuve, jao op ederen hook.De vlag hingk weer oet in alle straote.

Heuvel op, heuvel aof.Ja heer kump euveral.Klink zien bel, klink zien fluit.Daan geit heer langs berg en dal.
