Greetings!
I write to you from Naples Italy over looking the city on a small little farm on the top of a hill in the middle of the chaos that is Naples. It’s incredible here, I just ate a meal made completely from everything grown within 100 feet away from me. I landed in Naples yesterday, and left Madrid in the middle of a metro strike of course! Madrid was in a gridlock with the Metro not running! Getting to the airport was quite an adventure!
Ah Porto Portugal was absolutely amazing, the city has captured my heart and I will be back! I made some amazing friends there, who I can’t wait to come back and visit! Breyner85 is where I had my first show, which is an incredible place with quite a vision building community among artists as a serious music academy, recording & multi-media school as well as a professional venue, bar & cafe. If you find yourself in Porto you must go!www.breyner85.com Some photos from my first show in Porto by the wonderful Daniela Maia:
My mini photo essay on Barcelona:
These guys below were ready to run the second they saw cops, store on a rope.
Looks like tar, tastes amazing- squid ink makes it black!
Yes it’s a giant butt
And now the adventures begin in Naples! I have video footage from everywhere I’m editing and will hopefully have uploaded soon. While traveling the little things take longer, not that working with video is ever quick! So many different cultures, and languages, repeated culture shock- which I like, being in an utter state of aw. Loving Naples thus far, I have the most amazing host Celeste! check out her art work at:
Being in Europe has given me perspective on America and the way we do things in New York. It’s go go go go go, which is great- but there is more to life then being defined by your success, there’s also something called living-which we forget sometimes.
SAVE THE DATE! Saturday September 11th Joe’s Pub w/Erin Barra back in NYC! Not to be missed!
until next time!
much love
MM
