Modena City Ramblers - 2 Maggio, Utrecht

Primo maggio all'estero, "maaanche" no.



Ma anche no, grazie a Rai3 che ha trasmesso in streaming il concertone classico di piazza S. Giovanni (spero che non ci chiedano di pagare il canone sul web per questo). Certo che dal letto di casa e' stato difficile ricreare le atmosfere (non ho bandiere della sardegna a casa) e perché no, anche le sofferenze tipiche della piazza, come quando, verso la fine del concerto, gli indiani bibitari dopo una giornata di spintoni, urla, contrattazioni al centesimo per una birra "supposed to be" ghiacciata, sempre col secchio in mano, iniziano a non curarsi piu dei loro prodotti refrigeranti e cominciano a ballare sorridendo sentendosi parte un evento che resta sempre una grande festa, in una citta' stupenda che almeno quella sera abbraccia tutti, anche loro.
Poi possiamo parlare di strumentalizzazioni, show-biz .. ok, ma la festa resta, e i temi anche.




Ma anche no, grazie ai Modena che dopo le celebrazioni bolognesi del 1 Maggio con 2 ore di concerto, hanno imbarcato strumenti ed energie e si sono diretti verso quel di Utrecht, nel piccolo club dell'Ekko. E insomma, si si lo so.. direte voi, chissà quante volte li avrai visti e sentiti a Roma. Vero, ma in neanche 100 persone, a saltare sotto al "palchetto" durante bella ciao..in Olanda.. "voi mette la novità"!
C'e' stato anche tempo di un paio di battute nel chillout post concerto al bancone del bar, dove non ho potuto fare a meno di chiedere come mai non avessero partecipato al concertone classico romano.
Beh, avevano le loro motivazioni, che riguardavano in parte scalette e orari della performance, ma anche richieste di collaborazioni su cui hanno avuto delle riserve, dicamo.. tipo: avete notato chi ha cantato bella ciao giovedi sera?
Comunque mi hanno raccontato di come la festa bolognese sia stata bella ed emozionante, soprattutto per aver avuto sul palco tanti bambini che cantavano le canzoni dei rolling stones, oltre alle loro 2 ore di concerto. - Ci siamo fatti il nostro primo maggio - han detto.
Io pero' ho voluto far cadere l'attenzione sul periodo abbastanza particolare che la capitale sta per affrontare, e che magari era anche importante esserci visto che sui forum tante persone si aspettavano una loro partecipazione... beh il commendo degli Emiliani e' stato..
- COSI, RIFLETTONO! -, e via con un'altra Grolsh..

nzomm.. torno a fare i pacchi va.

Genova - Aquarium


Hallo to everybody!

This post has been made to show the beauty of our best Aquarium in Italy, the second biggest in Europe, after the one in Valencia.
Walking between the pools of the Aquarium of Genova is really an amazing experience... To go there I spent one night awake in the train from Rome, and I never repented for that :-)

My visit at the aquarium dates back to the 2005, and I had it pop into my head after that Peter sent me this cute picture of the beautiful dolphin calf, that is just born in the National Aquarium in US.
Good Luck little Flipp...mm no no.. the name is still unknown :-)

How is the baby Peter?

The Police

13-09-2007 A'dam Arena, The Police,

That was a lucky night!!
..I got a ticket from Lucas, just one hour before the concert started!
Anyway, I had to pay the price of leaving my camera at home.."Low Battery"! +_+

Then, no selfmade documentation about the -MoonWolkers-.. too bad.
YouTube is my friend this time!

Cheers

W La France


Folks

Have you ever been to Paris? No? ooh you should.. That city is wonderful..
Ok, I know I know, as we use to say here (or there) in Italy.. "I didn`t discover the warm water".. :-)
But have a look at the pictures below.. If you are saving some money for a trip.. put Paris on the
top of you list!

Anyway.. be aware, I use to go there often because of my job.. and.. IMHO, the city needs to be experienced together with someone..
Being there alone, makes me feel quite depressed!.. ;-<

Flickr on Freeflux

Here it comes..
This is a new meshup project/idea that everyone could use in his freeflux weblog.
This time everything seems to fit like in a Legotm castle!
Here is how it started..
I have an account on Flickr.. but with just one pic..
I mean.. I have my weblog.. why putting my pics on flickr?
Here, those swiss guys allow me to do whatever I want..(they even gain space, if you are kind with them :-))
I did my custom ajax gallery.. Works great for me..
...so I am happy with Freeflux!

Anyway..I discovered that many many friends of mine have a flickr account with many pics.. then.. why don't make them (somehow) meet each other on my weblog.. with their favourite pictures!
Is it possible?..yes it is.. or at least.. I am trying to.

I've just opened a new section, Ax & The flickErS.. and I am planning to spend some time in improving it
So it could change in the upcoming.. ages, you know.. work..private life..friends.. the netherlands :-)



It's Powered by FLICKR RESTful web services.. and, of course, the great Flux CMS.
Then..javascript "Parasitic" inheritance,XSL, ajax..gnip gnap..flip flop..etc

Have a look..and if at that time won't work.. well I said.. I am trying to :-)!
