Ladder

The little man in blogger's head demanded it; so here's the ladder again, and where it came from.

Re-opened

Haus der Natur, Salzburg's Museum of natural history and technology, in it's re-opening phase after substantial renovation.

And one more café terrace needs to be checked out.

Don't walk over ladders!

A portrait of the blogger as a young knee

Jazzit garden, one favourite hangout for Jazz lovers, bloggers, and non-graphic designers: could somebody please tell me, why I can't seem to get rid of this underline?! Mr. Blogwart!? – Never there, when he's needed, phew.

The backoffice-crew, responsible for tasteless puns like 'blogwart' is naturally out or in a meeting, so I will have to comment that myself, without deleting it. Our Blogwart is never there, when we need him, the 'original' Blockwart of dark Nazi past was always there, especially when people definitely NOT wanted to have him nearby. So much for the difference.

w/emo

Did some research work at google.com, found Urban Dictionary, found a number of definitions for the label 'wemo' that seems to be put on persons in some circles.

Just a warning from our Blog theorist: Don't ever pin labels to humans!

Soundtrack: Witchi Tai To by Jim Pepper, in the old version by Jan Garbarek.

Bring on the lights

"Bring on the night"

Must have been way back in the 1980s, when pop star Sting tried to bring some street credibility into his formerly slick New Wave star existence. Yet it was just Black Romanticism, maybe "Gothic" with a capital "G". Did he know of different lives back then, did he know what 'night' was like for an undercast who just did not have a chance to realize how 'cool' darkness and night 'really' were?

Austria seems like a peaceful, civilized place; yet, 'way back' in the late 1960s it was not so hard to end up in a jail (for some 'criminal' offence), in darkness with nothing but bread and water. Big fun, eh?!

Yours truly included, most people haver never experienced this total bulls*** way of life.

Who is there to judge how anyone ended up messing up his life like this?

Soundtrack: Don't let it bring you down, "a song that is guaranteed to bring you right down".

Have a look at the motion picture Déja Vu!

Thanks to SUNDANCE '08 independent film festival for that great trailer on Youtube.

Cinema Foyer

It used to be the foyer of Salzburg's largest cinema, Stadtkino. More than 20 years ago the cinema was stripped from all interior decoration and the room turned into a theatre and concert hall of pure concrete poetry. It is the main venue for Szene Salzburg.

The foyer kept its architectural charms, was spiced up with lights and a sound system. So after its daytime life as a restaurant and bar with a wireless LAN (nice MacBooks to be spotted there frequently!) it is turned into a club with 4 resident DJs, and a highlight coming up shortly:
