The great burnout of ’08…
So last night there was a fire in the building. Nothing like a little panic to bring the neighbours together…We heard the alarm and then panic as people started ringing every doorbell in the building to tell everyone else to evacuate.
Me not thinking anything of it. Grab my PC, camera, put on fresh socks take my time, and as I come down to the bottom my neighbour says something like ”du bist ganz cool”…I do my usual confused look when I’m trying to translate and he says again in english ”you are so cool”. OK…I was just trying to have a glass of wine and watch a movie…I didn’t realize it was an actual situation. I figured someone just burned thier pizza or something…
anyways the fire trucks arrive and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to let anyone back in for a while, so after calling several people to try to find a place to stay (it’s after midnight by now) Julia and I just got a hotel. A single bed which was not comfy.
we’re back, and I’m not sure anyone else is yet.

apparently someone died…he probably didn’t realize last christmas was his last…so there’s the lesson learned…
Party like it’s 1999, be excellent to one another, what’s so great about peace, love and understanding?
Enjoy your friends and family like they won’t be here next year this time…
