Ciao Di Firenze

Greetings friends. I've got some time between classes so I figured I'd say hi from the computer lab here at Villa Ulivi, NYU La Pietra.


Italy is alright. It's beautiful here but people are largely into dumb shit. There's a lot of bad graffiti and stenciling all over this city, and lots of bad music in bad bars and clubs. All the kids I've met thus far are pretty boring. There's a Socialist compound/squat that's pretty cool, and some people into a punk scene, but I've not been here long enough to really get into that stuff too deeply. I've got my hands on a bike and I've found some message boards and talked to some punk and socialist kids, so hopefully that will open up some new opportunities to get into wild things. I miss my friends and playing loud music. There's a lot of cool graffiti all over the CPA (Socialist spot) and I've got some pictures but I'm not sure I'm gonna get any of my stuff developed until I get back to the states.
Here's a goofy flier for a show that I think I'm gonna go to in about 2 weeks.



Youth crew straight edge stuff, wigger mosh, and nikes are still really big here. It's like Boston 2001 but the bands aren't as good.

Anyway, more updates to come. As Murphy's Law once said, America Rules.
