Protection - Massive Attack

met on 14 september

This is Richi, at his place, Milano

We only planned to drink one beer together.

Then a long sequence of events made us spend 3 hours together with other two friends sitting in a car (without a window) that did not turn on:

looking at two crazy girls driving their car on sidewalks

pushing the car in order to turn it on

freezing

laughing

obviously talking about nonsense things.

Break a leg, Tata!

met on 5 september

These are Marchino and Sonia, Magnolia, Milano

I loved you! Saturday night has definitely been the best one.
Thanks God Marchino is still going to be my class mate.
Thanks God Sonia you are fucking spontaneous and not at all paranoid and I loved it.


This is ?, Magnolia, Milano

Quite a dickhead.


This is Sabine, Magnolia, Milano

I met her for the first time at Conchetta with Betty and Stella.
I don't remember too clearly what we told each other, but she is nice.
Later I met her dancing in an awning with very great music but that smelled of goats.
Nobody cared about that and we spent inside there very long time.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT GOING TO

met on 4 september

These are Ludwig and Christian, Magnolia, Milano

Two german guys in Milan. They could not believe every club is closed till mid september, but it's true. Here best clubs do not have open air spaces, so they close during summer. I've never thought about that before, but it is really weird.
I hated their english full of german sounds and german grammatical constructions.


This is ?, Magnolia, Milano

He spent all friday night with us. It was his first night in Milan, he moved right yesterday.
He is kind a Marchino's friend or a Marchino's cousin or a Marchino's friend's cousin.
I don't know if he had fun, but I'm sure he didn't get bored. Maybe just a little bit HIGH.

IT HAS BEEN GREAT MEETING

Roberto Dell'Era, bassist for Afterhours

La Vedova Bianca - Afterhours

met on 3rd september

This is Vincenzo, Bar Bocconi, Milano

Paul and I met him on the bus at 3.30 in the afternoon.
We decided to spend the afternoon together.
Then we decided to go to Magnolia together.
Then we had breakfast at the airport together.
Finally we said us goodnight at 7 the morning after.


This is Zeno, Magnolia, Milano

Zeno, also called Aladin.
We showed him the way to go to Magnolia and he spent with us the whole night.
First thing Paul said to him: "Hey, why are you wearing a costume? This is not a masked party."
Zeno came from Verona with a sleeping bag, he said he had to sleep at a friend's but he didn't know where his friend lived.


This is Giulia, Magnolia, Milano

-> Giulia
+ her beautiful eyes
+ a fan

These are Eleonora and Stella, Magnolia, Milano

They are between the most crazy girls I've ever known at my university.
Two times I saw the one on the left arriving in the morning to give an exam directly after party: high heels, pleated dress and melted make up .. but great notes. She's an idol.
For what concern Stella, I was totally mistrustful first time I knew her. But after having see how fucking drunk she was yesterday night, I can't be mistrustful about her anymore.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT MEETING

met on 2nd september

This is Paul, Central Station, Milano

Paul arrived in Milan at 3 pm.
It was very hot and humid, I was sweating.
He arrived smiling and wearing this vintage leather jacket.


This is (Matteo?), going home from Magnolia, Milano

After having asked to lots of people, they gave a ride to me and Paul.
We agreed that they would have left us at a bus stop in Lambrate.
BUT Matteo and I discovered we come from the same village, we grew up in the same village: Verolanuova.
That's why they gave us the lift till where I live and didn't left us 6 km far from home.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT GOING TO

Bellezza - Marlene Kuntz

met on 20 august

These are the Skarafaggi, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

I love you! Unfortunately Ale (keyboard) is missing in this picture because the stage was too big!
Skarafaggi are six, four of them are very friend of mine. I was so proud yesterday night watching them palying on this big stage opening the Real Mc Kenzies concert. They played two new (great) songs and finally a DEVO cover, Mongoloid. Paul McKenzie (singer of the Real McKenzies) played a strange wooden ethnic sax during all Skarafaggi's songs and finally sang Mongoloid.


This is Robi, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

Real Mc Kenzies on the stage, we fell in love with the bagpipes player.
Drinking brandy and mint to win sore throat, we planned to spend more time together next year in Milan.


These are Paul McKenzie and Gufo, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

In the backstage after the Real McKenzies gig everything can happen: two singers play a mouth-organ and a wooden little sax. Everybody drink, the bigpipes player shows his penis piercing to a girl, I say to the drummer he looks like Asterix and he says me I'm beautiful, one of the Real McKenzies throws up.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT MEETING


Mongoloid - Devo

met on 19 august

These are Giulia and Stefano, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

"Hi girls, I introduce myself: I am Stefano"
Our conversation started like this and continued in a totally nonsense way
After big efforts and digressions we understood that:
Brescia is the most beautiful city IN THE WORLD, but he can't move here because it's too far from Bologna
Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto is the best event IN THE WORLD
finally, and always in his opinion, Rancid and the Sex Pistols played here some years ago.

One huge kiss to Giulia, that is moving to Holland tomorrow.

Talk To Me - Peaches

met on 17 august

These are Igor and Gianni, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

I've always known Igor had a weakness for me, since when I was 14 and I arrived at secondary school.
Maybe I could imagine him asking my friend "are you her boyfriend?".
I would have never imagined Gianni answering him:
"no, i'm not! but i remember you! you attended Leonardo (our school), right?"
"yes, i did"
"cool, i think i smoked my first cilum with you!"

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT STILL BEING AT

met on 16 august

This is Anna, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

After quiet long time we didn't see each other:
"Anna! So you study .. physics?"
"No, not at all! You said physics only because when you had to enter Bocconi I helped you with that question.."
It's incredible how we convince ourselves of totally nonreal things: I really thought she was studying physics, while she lives in London and studies graphic design!


This is Nicola, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

We attended the same secondary school. I don't remember any mutual friends we could have, so I don't know why I knew him. I adored him because he was always cheery and funny, but he hated my best friend (still don't know why) so I had to meet him alone.
Yesterday he was really hungry but every stall was already closed, luckily I was with Betty that always has something to eat in her bag: in this case was a olives bread.


These are Luciano and Alessandro, way home

Yesterday I decided to sleep at Betty's, but we didn't have a car.
She met these friends of her, they brought us home listening to Gun Club.
Thank youuu.

IT HAS BEEN GREAT BEING AT

It was the 14 august 2008 when I had this idea.

I did it and I had fun.
I really had fun mostly saying people "i'm taking you this picture because i have a blog where i post pictures of people that give a meaning to my days.

Junior Kelly, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

I wanna fly to Jamaica, marry Junior Kelly and make love every morning, afternoon, evening and night.
XVIII edition of Radio Onda d'Urto self-financing festival started yesterday with Junior Kelly. Ok, I never listen to reggae at home (or better, I always listen to reggae at home, but against my will, because of my brother and his powerful speakers) but Junior Kelly on the stage really brings peace and fun to everybody.
Very difficult not to dance it.

met on 8 august

The Bishops, parco Castelli, Brescia

The bare-breasted guy danced during all the concert time on the stage. He jumped, marched, danced as he was listening to techno music. He used to hug the bassist and to steal the show to the guitarist. What did the Bishops do? They laughed. They laughed a lot and had to keep their eyes down not to laugh too much.

Here is a video
