Qualifications for an eventful day; summer schedule eat your heart out.
Read travel guides about Albania
Try in vain to print the only decent street map online of Tirana at the local library
Bring home a lot of fruit.
Respond to an ad of, visit, shake hands on and leave a security deposit on an apt.
Don't forget to forget half of the security deposit at home so you have to go back tomorrow.
Walk 4 blocks to Francesco's house to chat and plan to accompany him to Guca together by car(!!!)
he and his 30smth Serbian career-soldier from age 14 turned bouncer in Bologna friend Milenko, that is.
Stop to talk to the semi-homeless guy you see around but your friend knows
Don't forget to look down find two joints worth of hash left behind on the ledge of a column.
Eat Pizza and talk about the theater company that the two of us had been proposed to help found.
Meet a hot girl interested in "exploring herself through theater"... who is hanging out with my friend Jacopo.
Don't forget to ditch the scene after 10 min because the performance you are watching makes your stomach turn.
Drink yummy sparkling wine served by the my lovely househost Rina and walk half the city.
Smoke one up and give a neck massage. Teach some self-healing while you're at it.
Damn that's good hash I found on the street. on MAIN STREET I might add.
Blog the eventful day, happy to have begun to rebuild your alcohol tollerance in preparation for Puglia.
-------------------
That done I'm (hopefully) going down to southern Puglia, to the Pizzica hot-zone, on an overnight train tomorrow.
That is if my Pugliese friends actually coordinate going down with me so I can stay with them.
Then http://www.zingaria.com from the 9th-13th.
Maybe trek over to Rossano, Calabria for a concert of local traditional music.
Back down to Ruffano for the Festa di San Rocco, origin point of the Pizzica Scherma, for the 15th-16th.
Boat to Albania, 2 days there and a boat back slipping onto a (hopefully) overnite train to Bologna
for a rehearsal that afternoon on the 20th, show on the 25th.
15.5hr bus to Guca the next afternoon if I'm not carpooling with Francesco.
Return similarly by bus, if that is the case, on the 5th of Sept.
My new address will be, as of late aug or sept 1st:
c/o Simone Sindaco
Via Giuseppe Mazza 2
40128 Bologna
Italia
After tomorrow evening I do not guarantee any further internet contact before August 20th
Lets just hope my cell phone starts accepting international calls again. (fyi 011 39 320 5 67876 1)
