Arrived at Latteria Molloy on friday evening for The Churchill Outfit concert, I met them at the entrance. For the first 14 years of my life I've lived in Verolanuova, a village I still love, and they were friends of mine. We used to meet in the main square or at La Piazzetta, the ice-cream parlour near the park.
They've founded (with other people) Contatto Diretto cultural association.
See you on 14-15-16 may at the Phonocult Festival in Verolavecchia!

This is Alberto, at Latteria Molloy, Brescia

We attended the same high-school, but we almost didn't know each other. Then we entered the same university, where he studies Economics and Social Sciences. We met yesterday and started to talk talk talk about our university, the new experience of the post-graduate courses and we would have never stopped! We arrived at the conclusion that we are risking to get sick from attending Bocconi.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED

This is Lina, at Trattoria da Lina, Milano

Finally we coped on the organization of a memorable dinner at Lina's. We booked 30 places, she prepared for 22, but we were 35. Moreover about fifteen people were sitting at another table. She cooks alone and her co-worker waits on tables.
We ate the by now legendary pinto beans pasta and drank lots of red wine. We danced (strictly 50s-60s music), sang and played table football. At 1.30 she drove us out "because we can party till late only on saturday night".

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT MEETING

These are Alice and Franci, tram 9, Milano

Let's go to the vintage market organized at Teatro Franco Parenti by Elita Festival!
Arrived there I met my housemates. We decided not to enter: it costed 5€ and we are too poor.

IT HAS BEEN GREAT DISCOVERING

This is Angelo, at Rocket, Milano

Angelo talks to you while he speaks at the phone and smokes a cigarette; if you dare ask "Are you listening to me?" the answer is always "I am gay, I can do many things at the same time!!".
I met him at Rocket, but the dilemma was "Should I go at Pink where I find my friends or at Plastic where I find a boy?". He chose his friends.

This is Roby, at Rocket, Milano

I was sooo glad to meet you!
In September he is going to study in Tokyo for some months and I absolutely have to introduce him to Angelo who is also going there on exchange program in the same period!

THIS WOULD BE REALLY REALLY GREAT

These are Cioppi, Angelo and Ale, at my house, Milano

EAT HUMANS.
Ale and I met to discuss our ideas for the Nokia competition, Cioppi helped us during the brainstorming phase.
Everything ended up in a home-made aperitivo: prosecco, spinach risotto, baked potatoes, peanuts and dehydrated bananas. Ok, the mix does not sounds really tasty, but I assure you it was.
