Milano

Yes, this weekend I was back in Milano. After arriving more than 1 hour late (thanks a lot Lufthansa), I went "home", had lunch from 4 to 6, slept a bit trying to get over the 2 bottles of wine and then off we go to the concert of the Nuovi Orizzonti Artificiali. The singer, Paolo, is the boyfriend of a friend of mine from university, la Giò, and this night gave us a great opportunity to a) listen to the brand new CD that NOA managed to publish after years and years playing in stinky cellars b) find out that, despite nearly 3 years far from Milano and some sort of break in communication here and there, it takes less than 2 minutes to start chatting and bullshitting as if we never went away, and, kids, it looks as if they are having greeeat fun in Milano... c) when you ask for gintonic in Milano, they do put some gin inside (bloody suckers from Mainz, learn, you morons!) d) my pick up can easily take 2 chicks in the trunk without any problem e) as usual, a lot of police at 11 and none at 3 - thanks god otherwise I would have spent my weekend in San Vittore playing strip pocker with some lesbian bulldog prison guards f) Milano is big and changing and full of places I have never seen g) blabla
On Saturday night we decided to take it easy and went for a couple of drinks in a bar close to the Colonne - OK, this hasn't changed that much, still packed with all sort of humanity drinking, smoking and playing. It was the birthday of Alina's Maxican boyfriend, who had just come back from Mexico full of presents, including the lucha libre mask of the picture, with which I amused the bystanders...
Very nice weekend, and I also have a lot of dvds for the cineforum:-)
