Where are you?

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

And it’s not a cry you can hear at night

somewhere beyond the sea

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

i went diving for the first time in my life today. at first it was scary, as the human mind is not ready to understand that you can actually breathe while below the surface. once your head tells you actually can, there is no limit. in a split of a second you start understanding that [...]

money left to burn

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

kettcar was…stunning, crazy, great. the played in front of an audience of about 200 but it seemed to be the gig of their life – playing balu as their every-time close, then coming back on stage announcing that “this is the first time for us ever to play balu and then still come back and [...]

expensive but entertaining encounters

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

who prophesize with your pen…

and on my way out

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

ireland. it rained and dried up and then it rained again. and still we enjoyed it, its people, mark (the cab driver), kilmore quay, oysters, long country roads, talk-only radio stations, left-side driving and the undeniable guiness. thank you ireland, we’ll be back.
i believe.

ireland, notes of a trip

Friday, July 6th, 2007

the first we got of dublin was a squeaky voice announcing that on leaving the plane we should hold onto something. wind around 90 miles outside, rain, 12 degrees. we left austria at around 26 degrees. then the bus to the radisson sas was more than hard to find, but we eventually got on, arrived, [...]
