Many Johns

As always happens this time of year, Mamuks is pleased to bring you the annual Janu reportage fresh from this year's Summer Solstice festival not long past. This time the celebration was affectionately referred to by Mudzuks as "Many Johns" (Jani bez mikstinajuma). Or, as she put it when we drove by the performance area with its by-then withered oak branches several days later: "The Johns (Jani) are all dead."

Here's the evidence - first off, the annual portraits:
