Sorry to be so quiet here, I have had no internet at my new place and have been working:
It is my first time living in a house without internet for quite a while (maybe since fall of 2004 at Chiara's in Philly). At first I drowned my unusually idle home-head in books, reading about 100 pages a day. After I ran out of English language novels that I had a desire to read I started listening constantly to the NPR and BBC world-service radio stations here in Berlin. I have grown used to the seemingly-intense isolation of living in my own apartment in Neukoelln without internet, but am tired of hauling my laptop to cafes and sitting in smoky Turkish internet shops, loading up multiple tabs with articles of interest to read later in the night while eating or before bed, etc... so I will hopefully have my very own connection soon.

I am now in Hamburg preparing for my first solo art exhibition, which will open on Saturday night at the WCW-Gallery . The above picture was taken during a hurricane when I was here two weeks ago. The show will include drawings (like him up top), photographs, and a book of writing. On Sunday there will be a musical performance on a tugboat, converted into a performance space but still on the water, near the gallery. If you know anyone in Hamburg please let them know.
Hey Nate, I happen to be in Hamburg this week. But I'm leaving on saturday
afternoon, so I'll miss the show unfortunately. If you're around here as
well, let me know, we should meet up.
