Some deejay in Belgium announced several days in advance a big outdoor concert with name entertainment, in defiance of Covid restrictions, and some 2000 people showed up (even though on the day he revealed it was a prank) and they were dispersed with water cannons and tear gas by mounted police. Some of the comments are a laff riot:

> “It’s not right that they have water canons (sic) and we’re here with nothing — it’s not okay.”

> Thousands defied COVID restrictions and showed up at the fake concert, which promised a performance by producer Calvin Harris and a one-off reunion of French band Daft Punk.

I made a simple FB post.

I just noticed a post I made the other day is missing.

It’s rather annoying to look outside and see that my fence has fallen over.

One of my grand daughters fell for it.

I’m not typically into April Fools or pranks in general, but I did enjoy King County Metro’s “Infinity Bus”: [Metro launches Infinity Bus – Metro Matters](https://kingcountymetro.blog/2021/04/01/metro-launches-infinity-bus/).
