It feels like Lego Land on Kirschentalgasse today. Boxes on top of boxes stacked near boxes waiting to be filled. The sum total of a life fully lived doesn’t necessarily equal more stuff and I am surprised to see that I don’t actually have that much to pack. I think I’m going to be able to squeeze everything that I’m storing into 10-12 boxes and will probably only need to ship 5-6 east. The cats are starting to realize that something is about to happen to them and so is their Alpha Kitty. If everything can be packed by next weekend then it is quite possible I will be able to enjoy my last days in the Tirol with my friends so I’m feeling motivated.
On Friday I was lucky enough to have 2 photo shoots…one for a financial services company whose preparing to plaster my work on billboards and bus stops all over the Tirol. It’s a new kind of work for me and I underestimated the effort it would require, but it’s challenging and (hopefully) lucrative. I’ll be in Asia when the campaign goes live but I’m hopeful some friends will snap some pix and send some newspapers so I can see how it looks.
The second shoot was the polar opposite to the first…freeform instead of careful calculation. I got to participate in an interview and subsequent rock show with Damo Suzuki, a 60 year old Japanese man who was very important to the Krautrock movement and has been on tour forever. He was a gracious and interesting man and I’m looking forward to reading (and sharing) Brad’s interview for MOLE when it’s published. Here are a couple images from the night…if you’d like to see them all, click here.

Saturday entailed a whole lot of photo editing and some big denial about the packing that I promised I would begin. I decided to procrastinate the inevitable with some whiskey at Innkeller and decided that as soon as I assemble a band to back me and my uke I am going to call us ‘Unexpected Whiskey.’ In my experience it is often the best variety. Unexpected whiskey often leads to late nights as was the case last night so today, Sunday, didn’t get rolling until well into the afternoon.
Magically, NPR woke me with some tunes that had me packing boxes like a championship box-packer so what might have been a wash was actually a productive day. Don’t see the link? Click here.
Back to Lego Land for me…I may have just taped Doozer into a box of art supplies and need to stop multi-tasking.
