laloka @ bcn July 14, 2006
Posted by Administrator in : nomadika , trackbackSo now it´s time for laloka en the condal city. Barcelona, that is. Vueling, ¨the only next generation airline”, got me here, impeccable brand
identity, no delays and pretty charming hostesses. I liked their deal, but I suspect I belong to their target market: thirtysomething on a brief getaway going to do something fun in an interesting city.
Funny coincidence that when chatting with Kati in her Borne workspace, she tells me that the lecool team will be editing their inflight magazine. I like those circles, I still like lecool, René is a good guy and I feel a little nostalgic of the days when I wrote for their Madrid edition.
Kontx is in New York, so I´m taking her place in Barcelona, we like it. Barcelona is good too, people seem friendlier than on past visits and I´m into their cycling attitude, they even have these fancy bicycle taxis, a first world rickshaw that
take you around downtown. Clever.
Friday means my hen party arrives: 13 london ladies sending Gopi off into married life. The weekend´s highlights shall include gorilla serenades with incredible views as a backdrop, t shirts for everyone with Gopi´s 8 year old school photo on the front, lots of cava and the Shah family´s usual funny business to make things fun for Gopi while she is still Miss Shah.
Thursday means Kid Koala with my Finnish gang. Turntablism to the max. An ultramixed pastiche of my whole popular music culture. The King of Samplers used everything from The Cure, Tears for Fears, old school hip hop, Björk, I don´t know…it was all pretty surprising but very well put together. Reminds me of Z Trip in the technique consisting of making new tracks out of sampling many other songs. Great visuals too.
