“But the true voyagers are only those who leave just to be leaving; hearts light, like balloons, they never turn aside from their fatality and without knowing why they always say: Let’s go!” --Baudelaire
from Flaneur--suitable for this last week of waiting before we fly.
9:30 pm Now I have read every word in the whole issue #2 of Flaneur and I’ve even seen a brief interview with the publisher, Ricarda Messner, on YouTube filmed in Montreal which issue no. 3 will feature. And I read an interview with Fabian Saul on Magculture.com/blog. Pretty satisfying reading experience. Learned a bit about Leipzig, of which I knew nothing. Through the fragments we glimpse history and people. It helped or was just fun to look up places on the street on Google street view.
Beautiful design work throughout. Very enjoyable. On Facebook there is a little window for suggesting an edit. I could suggest Avenida Menendez Pelayo in Madrid. Or Rue Viala in Paris. Or --- I was trying to think of a street in Boston but I can't come up with one---the ones I think of are way too major. It will be interesting to see what they choose for Montreal.
Arapiles in Madrid could be good too. Or Condesa de Venadito.
