dear kurt vonnegut,

i got so sad today reading your book "a man without a country" because i realized that there won't be anymore of your insight on the world i live in. this revelation made me wish i was born 80 years ago so i could have read along while you wrote. when time travel gets invented i'll see you in 1922.

love,

sally

my version of 4th of July, celebrated 10 days late, included a surprise wake up call at 8am of military jets cruising by the apartment from the champs elysee (doing an airshow, at 8am, ofcourse) and a very respectable, almost dangerously long, show of fireworks shooting from the eiffel tower.

JULY 14th

SECESSION

pop's 20 ft "wall" moved so slowly that most people at the opening never doubted that it wasn't a regular wall.

our very own treasure chest

"tell your american friends about us. But only if they're in Vienna on a Thursday between 2 and 6pm"

"hm interesting hours for this 'store' of yours"

"well we're too rich too work, so we come here on thursdays to drink beer and smoke cigarettes."

highlights: 40's portraits of very austrian women, thousands of old austrian books, nazsi documents, a giant keyring with old skeleton keys and much, much more.
