TLUG

Dearest TLUG,

It took so long for me to find you today, TLUG! I just wanted to ask the experts you hold within some questions. You seemed to keep running away. Göschwitzer Strasse 41 please be kind. I don't bite, I promise. You have all the knowledge and I just wanted a taste. Maybe next time you won't run so fast.

Your friend,
Sal

See I, with a few other students, have to prepare for a presentation over environmental protection measures here in Germany. One assignment is to seek out and converse with an expert in the field. Its just so damn hard to get a hold of one. And then there's the whole building running away thing too.

St. Michael's Church

Friday I went out for a little stroll around town. You know, what else was there to do than get out into the open air. I was letting my whims take me wherever they would lead. Every now and then this giant church caught my eye. It makes me think about all it has gone through and what it still holds inside. I have visited it before but only spent a minimal amount of time there. See, I was trying to dadge the uncomfortable 'I-don't-want-to-have-to-make-a-donation-to-your-church' feeling. But Friday was different, in that I kinda of did want to make a donation to that church and check out what it had to really offer. I wanted to get my full 2 euros worth.

The large dark entrance doors were very open, as they always are for some reason. I thought, "Why not?" So I go in with the intent to snoop around the catacombs a little more than I had last time I was there. There I discovered a semi-hidden room i was too frightened to look into. And when I entered it this time was a little more stunned at the contents. Three large sarcophagi and a small baby-sized one. All were adorned with old baroque-style, over-the-top elegance.

After my trip under the church, there was a woman who allowed me to go up to the top of the locked bell tower. That was a total surprise to me. She pretty much walked up to me with an odd glimmer in her eye and stuffed me up the tower for 1.50 euro. Whatevs. So i go up the endless stair and pause at all the landings to investigate. If i were to work at this church it would take me a hell of a long time to feel comfortable with all the kooky creepiness they have stowed away there. For god's sake man. But finally at the top it was all worth it. To be able to look over the city center from the bell tower that I see looming over it from the street everyday was pretty great.

Thanks unknown church lady for letting me check out the churchy things you have there. Thank you St. Micheal's church for being crazy old and making me feel overly adventurous.

This one's for you, bros.

Berlin the second

This was a really great time. Most of the weekend was spent riding some form of public transit, as you can plainly see. Thanks Kate for the great weekend. Thanks Jon for the great weekend. Thanks Berlin for opening yourself up to me once again. Keep on and stuff.

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks has been seriously media savvy as of late. I laughed my ass off while he was playing a hysterical version of himself on SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy.

This one's for you, bro.

MIND

The map of coming characters. A flowchart of sorts.

Got it worked out now.

I have been silently brainstorming some ideas for a zine I want to put out. Well not really a zine but a rather a random pamphlet of thoughts and creations of mine. The collective art thing kinda has been put on hold for a while. That was a great idea as well and I will be definitely going back to that in the future.

This thing, though, is going to be a view of Sal Song, the person of many lives. A sketch. You'll be seeing him in many different rolls through very very short conversations with random people. There will be conversations with you fans of the Sal Song who has toured for decades. Convos with the Sal Song who disposes of dead gangsters. Talks with the Sal Song who dies on his death bed. its endless right? Right.

Blows your mind a bit. I was researching renewable energies in Europe for a class presentation and ran across this little gem.
