You're right. I might not be good to run a blog. I don't have any constancy in updating the page. I might got bored of it. I do not have time for it. I run a store, I play in two different bands. With one of them I'm practicing hard to make the third album as soon as possible. With the second one I'm doing the same, but for the very first album. This takes a lot of time and a lot of thoughts passing through the mind. And last one....girls, you know!!! You gotta bear with myself. Some time you tape thecolorbabyblue in the navigation bar and maybe you will find some new things...bullshit, most of the times.
Well, I decided to not take and show picture of street stylish people from now on. Instead I will try to use the camera such as a tool to make you see what I see. Often it occurs that I find myself staring at people not being aware that I might make them uncomfortable and draw them in an awkward feeling. At that moment I'm not judging anyone or thinkhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.bold.gif Inserisci tag grassettoing something. I'm just seeing. The colors, the shapes, the moves, the natural and the unnatural elements, and their recovering together. Me....
Since I came back to Florence I found myself dancing in a club twice. That is weird for such a meek guy like me. The weirdest thing though was that I had fun.
First I heard from Caterina that there was a party at the upper story of the Doris. That was last weekend. You needed a wrist let to go upstairs since it was a sort of privè party. We found it and we went upstairs. From then on I spent my stay there dancing in the ladies room where there was a DJ spinning disc from seventies to nineties all rock. We were dancing in a 15-20 square meter room along with ladies trying to reach the box. Here it is:
Almost forget to put the picture that I took before going to dance that night. A picture of La Ceci
Second time was yesterday. You have to know something if you are thinking to move in this city some day. Twice a year Pitti occures in Florence and everything that happen, it happens because of Pitti. You can't even say -"wanna go out to get a drink"- that someone might reply -"sure there's Pitti"-. Anyway, there was this party at the old Transilvania thrown by the guys from D.A.T.E. which is a shoes brand. Let's see something:
This is Martina, I couldn't not take a picture. She seemed coming out from an American Apparel's photo-shoot. Gorgeous!!! And then Martina and friends.
We (me and my assistant) had to meet Allison and Olga at the subway stop of Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. Initially the plan was to go to some party nearby. I think that would have been one of those hipster parties in a super cool loft with a lot of those red and blue colored plastic cups filled with any kind of alcohol. In the end, we didn't go there. We were standing on the sidewalk for a while still thinking about what to do. I enjoyed staying there though, I could take a lot of picture of people passing by us. Here some pictures:
Michael
John
Brandon and Suzanne
We found out there was a concert by calling a friend who was going there. Let's walk over there. We got to a kind of industrial neighborhood by the coast in a street surrounded by huge fenced in warehouses. Here a weird sign in one of the building we passed by along the way:
On that street we would see around several vans parked right in front of a small door stuck in the wall of one the warehouses. There were a few people hanging around over there. Ok, we got it, here was the concert. So we asked the bouncer what it was about in there. He said there were seven bands playing in a row and that the cost of admission was from $7 to $12 - that means that you were willing to pay or $7 or up, I would shrug -, that was pretty good, I mean seven bands in just one night. At that point we would wait for our friend Evan before coming in and since we could stay right in front of the door because of the whiny bouncer, we would step down the street till next cross street. There we met Evan with other two friend who said that the concert wasn't there, but right behind the corner. So there were two venues hosting two different events in a range of 100 feet. We would join a bunch of people in front of these two small doors from which the music was coming out. We would get the wrong door again, our concert was next door. Now there were three different venues hosting three different shows in a range of 100 feet. From then on I would spend all my time going back and forth from one room to the other. Here some pictures of what occured that night:
This was the first venue we entered and where three bands were playing one after another. There was a main room with the stage and the bar and a couple of small rooms which looked like this: First room
Second room
This was the third band we saw in this venue.
And here a guy who named Matt
This was the next door. It was kind of a loft, an open space where there was a whole kitchen by one of the walls of the room and a couch at the bottom where a couple was playing....and also a dog. Here the two guys:
After this first couple finished, another couple would start to settle for its live set. Here one of the girls from the second one. Her name is Chiara and she's originally from a small town between Florence and Siena. Well Guys, it seems I had a fucking awesome night and I definitely fell in love with this fucking city.
There are three of us. One of us is 25, one is 18, and one is 15.
The one is kind of into Indie Fashion and Indie Music.
The other two are the same, but smaller.
That's it;
Enjoy
