It turns out that I am not that much for the ANTIQUITIES-2 days in Rome & 1 picture--o well...I vote for Milan & the knock-it-down now-isms of its grimy scene--forgive my ignorance & new-world-centrism...the lack of pictures be proof. Let anyone & everyone else love Roma!
Sonya found a place to practice some Ashtanga yoga & I looked for a soccer jersey for my daughter Lucia. We played at 2 great clubs: Monday night at FANFULLO 101. A very in-your-face, here is Rome, street-adventure of a club to find. 2 hours late, but 'no problemissimo' as we were on Italian time. First some beer & wine-then some pizzas-then its time to play music. Tuesday night we played at Dal Werme (the worm) a cool bar with an underground stage. Run by Toni & Manuela (Manuela & her band DADA SWING have made it out to SUANFEST!) & some other friends, the club, like Fanfullo, is in trouble with the neighbors...SO, even though the party goes late, late late, in Rome---(4am) the music must stop early--like midnight. A bizarre feature of the tour as this happened a couple more times...each time we would stop early so the DJ could take over & blast American indie-rock louder than we were. No one said the country was perfect.
At the end of the night at Dal Werme--Sonya & I did drink some type of Pear Liquor. hand-made & no possibility of saying no--we drank the clear liquid. FIRST things FIRST: blow into the glass & smell--a PERFECT (yes PERFECT) image of a PEAR appears--a holographic pear, in the mind--this pear however-is not perfect--it has a small bruise near the top like it had been piled in a bowl of pears for a few days. Pearfection. Ciao Roma!
