Berlin, Germany

got hooked up proper in berlin, made friends, stayed for a week, will go back soon. last stop on the big okun brother tour, the city where we said our european goodbyes. go to berlin to play kicker, drink mexicanas (!!!), and eat fallafel. then catch a last minute ride out of the city and show up at the house in the town where you're supposed to live at midnight. rejoice in your own bed 'cause its getting cold outside.


white-washing the berlin wall. . .




so long long train rides, for a little bit

Kip, part 2

"After the physical therapist checks him out he should be good to go. He checked out neurologically and he has some skull fractures but they will heal on there own. He doesn't have his balance yet but that should return in time. They are releasing him to me and this experience showed me how fucked our hospital system is. While kip and I enjoyed our luxurious hotelesque room I spent most of yesterday sitting in admin offices with kindly old women with giant manilla folders trying to find out why their kemo isn't covered. Kip should be covered because he was unconcious when admitted into er. We are getting files from health and family services tomorrow. Will took care of kip this whole time and dealt with some super scary stuff. Kip still has some recovering to do but the worst is over.

Kip

I write this from my phone at a gas station on my way to chicago. Kip is in the hospital there. He passed out and fell on the steps. He broke his face and was unconcious for a day but is doing much better. I am going to be with him and help him with the bill. Eventually I will bring him home.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

i love amsterdam. my favorite.

Paris, France

the pastry in France is really something...

the room that we stayed in had a cat that walked from apartment to apartment on the windowsill. this cat didn't actually live in this apartment we were in. it was just visiting.

go to France to ride trains without conductors, surrounded by large sheets of glass on the platforms. like the future, but now.

Notre-Dame

Louvre

Pompidou

the entire main floor of the musuem was dedicated to women artists. more images later.

one of the more interesting things in the Pompidou, tucked away in a corner, is paintings for the blind. these displays are written in brail and the paintings are raised so as to represent the surface quality of, say, a Basquiat.

then Dward was like, "yo, all this art is making me mad hungry"

the permanent collection had loads of good stuff, as did the media library, a must to take advantage of if ever able to visit this museum

so its a totally beatiful view from this really interesting, insideout building and your watching the sun set staring at the eifel tower,,,,,,,psh

oh, we went there. shit is big!

on the hour, it turns into the craziest disco light show ever





me tired. ask me about it later and ill tell you all about it.
