more street art



Walking around Berlin today, wandering really. Found a Socialist archive booktore the woman in there speaks english, i will return to chat for sure. As always there is much great art on the walls of Berlin. My radius has increased by eight blocks. More wandering to come. It is nice to feel like I live here and not just visiting as a tourist. Although the arboretum is calling...

SNOW!


Yeah it snowed today. Refreshing after staying up all night drinking. Then a fat German sunday style breakfast (cheese and potatos) yummy. As well the sunday quiet laws here make it even more peaceful.

Berlin street art



Berlin walls are coverd with art. Most of it is just trash tagging. but some of it is clean and nice. Now that I am starting to feel a little more at ease with pulling my camera out and taking pictures of these pieces. these are the first two, I plan on more, and will post them on flicker. When I have more.

P.S. It is lightly snowing right now nice!

somthing to see

Germany is rad with company



Nice dinner tonight with ebony and friends. Was house bound for most of the day. Went shopping with Ebony. And went on a solo beer run... so not a lot to say except that I love travel and Berlin rocks. My German is lacking even for the simple things. But I am here for a different reason... and so the view from the kitchen window and a picture of ebony. Day two of .... 24? Still have a good feeling about this trip, even with all the intensity.

A few pictures



Here are some pictures from the plane, they did not come out as well as I thought they would. The pictures are of cloulds over Illinois and Newark airport. So it is a quickie. Did get a chance to walk around Ebony's nieborhood today and got a feel of where everything is here. This pactiular hood has the largest Turkish population in the world outside of Turkey, who knew?

Not synthetic synth


This is amazing... M.I.T. people have a) to much time on there hands b) or are so smart that the future is bright for the rest of us. Anyway, Noah Vawter experimented with making a synth instrument with all natural components. Essentially he created a simple synthesizer with tomato juice, copper and aluminum. Cool stuff. Here is the video synth from nothin.

First digital camera


After fighting it for a while... I just got my first digital camera. A little over whelming for a simple tool. To get the look I want, I have to learn it's look. At least my flicker will be more exciting.

Jimmy and Judy


This movie Jimmy and Judy Played at the S.F. independent film festival . The movie Jimmy and Judy is reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde/Natural Born Killers. The trailer is awesome and intense. I hope this one makes into the theaters. (...Thanks Dave)

Interesting art


Kathraina Grosse has a show opening at the DE APPEL gallery in Amsterdam on Friday February 10th. Her work, to me, seems like fantasia disassembled itself and reconstructed color by color where ever it wanted. Amsterdam seems like the perfect place to see this show with the cafes it is famous for.
