3 La vida del viajero profesional no es una bicoca. Uno se cansa hasta de hacer el turista. Y además, uno se pasa media vida en los aeropuertos, simplemente esperando en la sala de embarque. Y cruzamos los dedos porque sea solo eso: esperar… y que no ocurran catastrofes mayores como que un volcán se ponga a eructar en Islandia o que tu vuelo se vea afectado por el overbooking. Confieso que aunque viajar te da muchas tablas y aprendes mogollón nunca he llegado a entender lo del overbooking. Según las compañías aéreas, lo de vender más plazas de las que caben en el avión, pues eso significa el palabro sajón, se debe a que estadisticamente una cierta cantidad de viajeros perversos anula su billete en el último momento y ya no da tiempo a venderlo otra vez. ¿Alguien en su sano juicio se traga que la cantidad de gente que compran un billete y no se presenta es tan grande como para justificar que te dejen en tierra aunque tu compraras el pasaje con tres meses de antelación? Además, si ya has pagado tu plaza y la pierdes, ¿qué más le da a la compañía?, como si quieres hacer confetis con tu billete o quemarlo en una hoguera por San Juan. Es tuyo. Y la plaza, también.
Y así nace Overbooking, la primera revista para aquellos a los que un matrimonio de la Rioja más previsor y que ha facturado antes, les ha quitado la plaza. Overbooking es una revista anual que busca descubrir nuevos lugares y nuevas culturas a aquellos que han perdido la esperanza de encontrar una plaza vacia. Para pasar de la teoría a la práctica existe también al final de cada sección un directorio anual con todos los eventos culturales de cada ciudad... para los más valientes. Este primer número se centra en 4 de las capitales más importanes del momento: Paris, Moscú, Nueva York y Londres. Gracias por leer Overbooking. Esperamos que tengas una lectura amena hasta que embarques... bueno, si eso.

Olé V.S. Oh lá lá Who has not been delighted more than once walking through a city, with its citizens’ nobles and stylish? If well over a photo gone wrong will not be aware of what we photographed .. But, when you look In your beauty or your clothing? In order to eliminate disputes absurd territories, John Talbot and statistical team in 2012 has made the largest survey on women from two different nationalities: Spanish and French.
The Statistical Institute of kentucky finally unveils the results of the survey on Spanish and French women. The survey conducted in 2012 to 1,000,000 people of different nationalities, research on topics such as cooking, sports, studies, style, and character. Who wins the battle?
From the statistical Kentucky have been coordinated across surveys worldwide almost 1000000 people. The conclusions while not completely revealing, are fun. Let’s start from the known to all: the French win in glamour. Although Spanish fashion will continue to gain representation in the international arena, still have a long way to go to reach the French, considered the most stylish and elegant women in the world. Within this group stand Parisian women whose closets “are worthy of emulating in magazines and movies” as Marion Ladeski, fashion director at Vogue magazine USA Thus in the polls also reflected that the French are more consumerist regarding clothing brand is concerned. Does this mean that the Spanish are not fixed? Instead, polls show that the Spanish are considered much longer invest in hygiene and care time. Arguably, to counteract against the French stylist, Spanish women advocates a more natural and simple style, which despite not frame an aura of elegance if that wraps in a sweet, yet lively.
Another advantage for Hispanics is that they fall better and more polls are open and sociable when communicating or making new friends, being the best score sevillans you recorded. The Parisian however, in the social sphere have a remarkable suspense to be considered by many of the women viewed as inaccessible and somewhat surly in completely normal situations, as shown in the example is K. Frichmann: “I was in Paris mcdonnals looking for a table that was full all of a sudden I saw a girl who was finishing a huge table, I asked if I could use the empty chairs. Then without looking up said in French No, get out! “

01 OlĂŠ V.S. Oh lĂĄ la
Statistics also show that the French do more sport and more varied. Compared with 30% of Spanish, 67% of the French hits a specific sport or is aimed at a gym. Yet despite these data, the greater the number of Spanish who perform high-risk sports, so it is received fame adventurous. And the caracter? Despite the Paris caracter, considering that the French are more shy and quiet, yet highly educated women who are interested and are motivated by the political situation in their environment. Most French women 16 years and are fully aware of everything happening around, investigating, reporting and even attending demonstrations. Although Spanish women also take up arms, it is true that his interest in the environment takes emerge, passing about 3 years before this happens, about French girls.
Regarding the food, make no mistake, for all we knew that the battle was already won. The winning side as is Spanish. And is that even though the French have crepes and fondue (which is actually Swiss), nothing can stand up to the rich Spanish gastronomy. Also remarkable is the high number of Spanish women cooking at home every day and whose interest in learning new recipes and techniques. Against this the French cook much less and certainly are more reluctant to learn new recipes, except for Indian food, very trendy lately in the French country. In the field of studies, surveys are very balanced, because even though the Spanish have worse records in school and college, the Spanish university are considered among the best prepared in Europe. This accounts for the high rate of Erasmus scholarships are processed for college in this country.
11 Olé V.S. Oh lá la
This study also reveals that the French like their male counterparts are more reluctant to speak a foreign language, or learn. Although it has always been considered the Spanish as the least English speaking, in a few years many people have been taking to the study of the language and many more. Cases of people who speak four languages were unthinkable until a few years ago. It may be because much of the Spanish economy is based on tourism and therefore the need to learn languages. The find made only 12% admitted to having gotten to talk to a Frenchman in another language other than English. In the party story indexes are alike. But the party of the two major Spanish cities protrudes above average for its wide variety and hours of the premises. Respondents admit that both the French and the Spanish, know how to enjoy life and have fun In this section
of the survey also highlighted that the Spanish are consuming more alcohol during the weekend, against the French who consume less but throughout the week. Finally, the survey reveals that French or Spanish, no matter which of the two are the Europeans are more appreciated and are part of the current European cultural iconography

If the first known regulars Café de Flore were right-wing intellectuals, the characters that made him famous were from very different fields.
It was founded in the time of the Third Republic, probably in 1887. It owes its name to a small statue of the goddess Flora, now defunct, on the site of which there is no agreement. For some, it was on the other side of the boulevard. But as Charles Maurras, who founded the first coffee plant’s newspaper far right Action Française in 1908, the statue was placed above the main entrance.
The Café de Flore is a brasserie café located at number 172 of the Boulevard Saint-Germain, SaintGermain-des-Prés, on the sixth arrondissement of Paris, France.

41 Café de Flore
During World War I, Guillaume Apollinaire received there his friends, including Max Jacob, Louis Aragon and André Breton, and the room becomes the favorite meeting place of the Dadaists and Surrealists. In the 30s, the intellectual and artistic life of the capital still revolved around the neighborhoods of Montmartre and Montparnasse, but would gradually moving towards the district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The poet Jacques Prévert and friends of “October Group”, gathered there, like Léon-Paul Fargue, Raymond Queneau and Georges Bataille. Painters and sculptors are followed: there was common to see Picasso, André Derain, Ossip Zadkine and Giacometti brothers. But after 1939, the date of its acquisition by Paul Boubal, the Café de Flore will become the intellectual center of the left bank of Seine. Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir were fixed table and there attracted much of the nascent existentialist movement. Interestingly, during the Nazi occupation the German military did not attend the Flore. Sartre wrote about “For four years, the ways of Flore were to me the paths of liberty.” After World War II, Boris Vian encourages the place. Coffee is a favorite haunt of Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote and Lawrence Durrell, and renowned members of the French Communist Party (PCF), as Louis Aragon and Marguerite Duras. In a nod to them, Paul Boubal then creates a fictional game that all customers are partners, the Pouilly Club de France (PCF), the name of the white wine served over. The entry into chamfer of Café de Flore, at the corner of boulevard Saint-Germain and Rue Saint-Benoît. In the 60s, the most illustrious representatives of the nouvelle vague film world and take the Flore. They are followed by great fashion designers and celebrities from the world of song. In the 70s, the Café de Flore and is a myth and is one of the places of the capital necessary for both the French and foreigners. Jim Morrison frequented three weeks before his death. However, the last years of the twentieth century will be marked by an influx of customers’ gold and superficial “, in the words of Paul Boubal grandson. In the XXI century, the Café de Flore largely retains that aura of intellectuality and uninhibited artistic modernity of a

bourgeois who gave their popularity, and still can boast among its fans with a number of celebrities from the world of film, policy and international literature. The Serb Miroslav Siljegovic, current owner of the Café de Flore in 1983, created in 1994 Flore Awards, along with her daughter Carole. Each September, a jury of journalists rewards a promising author. The selection criteria are originality, modernity and youth. The winning author receives, in addition to a financial award, a glass of white wine Pouilly take at Cafe de Flore for a year, in a glass engraved with his name. Liberté chérie liberal association regularly organizes conferences. The Café de Flore offers French cuisine bistro or brasserie. Coffee originated in Ethiopia, in northeast Africa. African tribes, ground the beans to make a paste with feeding their animals and also taking the warriors to increase their resistance. Later it spread to Arabia where it quickly became popular because of the prohibition of alcohol in Islam. The drink up such passion that even a Turkish law dictated that a woman could divorce if her husband did not provide a daily dose of coffee. In 1511, in Mecca, the Amir Khair Bey began studying its characteristics, aided by scientists and lawyers, to decide if the coffee was in accordance with the rules of the Koran. Following this, consumption was banned but its popularity was so great that the authorities ended up canceling the exclusion order. Coffee came to Europe in 1600, introduced by Venetian merchants. The first Westerner to describe the drink was Leonard Rauwolf who defined thus: “A beverage as black as ink and if cure all kinds of ills. Its consumers take it in the morning, in a porcelain jar that passes from hand to hand and each fills his own glass. “When coffee became popular in Europe, several prominent Catholic priests tried to prohibit, claiming it was a drink of Satan and that was a threat because it came from the Muslim world. Pope Clement VIII advised prohibit its consumption but Clemente, after testing was captivated and to silence dissenting voices symbolically baptized the drink order to make it acceptable to Catholics.
After acceptance of the Pope, coffee spread exponentially, in 1652 opened the first coffee house in London, in 1670 in Berlin, in 1686 in Paris. A mid-eighteenth century all European cities have cafes. However, Russia was forbidden and coffee consumption or sale is punishable barely arriving in the torture and mutilation of the condemned. In the nineteenth century, European demand was so high that exceeded supply and the price was so high that it began using substitutes such as chicory. Today, coffee is spread throughout the world and their success is indisputable. The main producers of coffee are in South America, but among the many varieties that exist, the most expensive coffee, exquisite and famous is the Blue Mountain from Jamaica.

02 Since its formation, the Pussy Riot have been in the headlines for his series of illegal war performances like last January in which they played “Revolt in Russia” in Red Square. For that performance were detained under the strict application of Russian laws concerning demonstrations and protests, but then all were released.
Pussy Riot
Not last long in the wild. On February 21, the group made a strong showing at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, which were arrested a few days later - shortly before the elections of March 3, ie the return to power of Putin. This time not released at all: two of them, and Maria Alyokhin Tolokonnikova Nadezhda, remain in custody and have begun a hunger strike, ensuring that they will not stop until they can return to their children. All face seven years in prison if found guilty. What follows is an interview I did with the group in mid-February, days before his arrest:
Pussy Riot
For sure you have heard about Pussy Riot. They are a group of punk anonymous feminist with letters openly anti-Putin who refuses to touch in normal places and to try to demolish the current Russian government. They were formed(trained) last September after Putin was announcing that he would return to be a president in March, 2012 - a worrying news for many(many people) since the poverty, the terrorist assaults, the corruption and the loss of civil laws have been key points of his(her,your) reign in the Kremlin.
What inspired you to start Pussy Riot? Kot: Pussy Riot began in late September 2011, just after Putin announced he intended to return to be president and bullying Russia for at least 12 years. Serafima: Yes, at that point we realized that this country needed a militant group, and feminist punk that moved through streets and squares, all the energy mobilizing public against corrupt accumulated evil of the board of Putin. And enriching the cultural opposition and Russian policy issues we care, the rights of women, and gays, lesbians and transsexuals, and denounce the absence of a bold political message in music and art scenes, and domination men in all areas of public discourse. Why the name ‘Pussy Riot’? Garadzha: The female sexual organ, which is supposed to be something merely receiver suddenly begins a radical rebellion against the cultural order. Sexists have certain ideas about how women should behave, and Putin, of course, also has a couple of ideas of how they should live the Russians. Fighting against all that. That’s Pussy Riot. Kot: You should not have answered that question, Garadzha, usually do not. When the police and FSB agents interrogate us and ask us, “What the hell those words mean English of your banner?” (Unfurled a banner during some of our actions illegal and almost none of these idiots speak any foreign language). Normally we answer something like “Oh, well, you see, sir secret police, nothing special, just those words mean” rebel kittens. “In Russia you never tell the truth to a police officer or any agent of the regime Putinist.

22
23 What has been your favorite concert? Garadzha: Apart from Red Square, all of us are very proud of the action we did on the roof of one building of a detention center in Moscow, where many people were imprisoned after post-election protests December 5 . Political prisoners we could see from inside their cells and sang and cried during the song “Death to Prisons - Freedom to Protest”. The officers and prison workers were running without knowing what to do, because they had no idea how to get us out of the roof. They feared greatly, must have thought it would start a riot at the end of our song or something. That was great. Are you planning to act in public appearances Medyved or Putin? Tyurya: Putin is too afraid to appear in public. All “public meetings” are functions guarded by Kremlin loyalists cheering him and throw him kisses. But one day I hunt, for sure! Serafima: So better go before we catch him. Putin would not want to meet face to face with Pussy Riot! What do you think of other antigovernment groups like Voina http://femen.livejournal.com/ Femen http://en.free-voina. org/ or Ukrainian? Tyurya: Voina are cool, follow them closely, we like the 20072008 era, when things were very exaggerated, crazy and symbolic actions like “Fuck for the heir Puppy Bear” on the night of the 2008 presidential election. His drawing of a skull with green laser in the Russian parliament, or when they did a performance where pretended ceremonial hanging homosexuals and illegal immigrants as an offering to the mayor of Moscow, it was powerful stuff.

Putin would not want to meet face to face with Pussy Riot!
Pussy Riot
What are your musical influences? Kot: Some of us were inspired by Oi!, Classic punk in the early 80s, The Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects, Sham 69, things like that. All these had an amazing musical and social power, its sound permeated the environment, society, and stirred consciences visibles problems. His energy really captures the essence of punk, which is aggressive protest. Garadzha: Of course we also have much to Bikini Kill and the Riot Grrrl movement bands. Somehow they develop what they did in the 90s, but in a completely different context and with an exaggerated political message, which makes all our actions are illegal-never give concerts in clubs and concert halls, is a matter of principle .
Kot: We have nothing to worry about, because if the police repression Putinist puts us in jail, five, ten or fifteen more girls colored balaclavas will continue fighting and its symbols of power. Serafima: And now, with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets, the state will think twice before trying to build a criminal case and lock ourselves. There are a lot of fans among the masses Pussy Riot Russian Protestants. What was the reason you decided to keep you anonymous? Serafima: Our goal is to move away from the personalities and approach the pure symbols and protest.
Kot: Tobi Vail contacted us after reading the article in The Guardian. He told us that he liked what we were doing. It was great to get feedback from it. And the people of Le Tigre said the Red Square performance was great. Motiva hear that, because these people influenced us a lot.
Tyurya: Often we exchanged names, balaclavas, dresses and roles within the group. People to be, a new ... being pointed at each performance Pussy Riot guerrilla training can vary. How do you see Russia on a new realm with Putin? Serafima: How was Libya under Gaddafi? How do you see North Korea under Kim Jong-un, the old “brilliant comrade” of 28 years? For us, Russia under Putin, “National Leader” is no different.
And what are your influences in terms of feminism? Serafima: Feminist Theory would Bouvoir and The Second Sex, Dvorkin, Pankhurst suffragettes and their brave actions, Firestone and his crazy theories reproductive Millett, Braidotti’s nomadic thinking, academic parody of Judith Butler ... Are you looking for more girls who want to join the group? Garadzha: Always! Pussy Riot has to continue to expand and that is one reason why we decided to always wear balaclavas. We can be three to eight, as in our last concert in Red Square, or even 15. Pussy Riot is a body throbs and grows.
Tyurya: As a Third World dictatorship with all its shitty glamor: an economy based on natural resource terrible, scandalous levels of corruption, lack of parliamentary independence and a dysfunctional political system. Under Putin we face another decade of brutal sexism and conformism regarding official government policy. By Terese Lerrignt

It is known by everyone as “The Big Apple”, “The City That Never Sleeps”, “The Capital of the World”, “The Empire City”... But actually, what we know about this city? What we know anything of this city beyond the Empire State Building, the Central Park or the Statue of Liberty? This article will unveil eight interesting places of the city that are unknown even to many of its inhabitants. Through the peephole spy’s 8 secrets of New York.

Cold War Bomb Shelter in the Brooklyn Bridge In 2006, City inspectors stumbled upon a hidden chamber inside the Brooklyn Bridge, located just under the bridge’s Lower Manhattan entrance ramp. The room was stockpiled with decades-old military provisions for surviving a nuclear bomb attack: blankets, medicine, water containers and around 352,000 crackers. Supply boxes stamped with the dates 1957 and 1962 indicate that the bunker was used during the height of the Cold War, then later sealed up and forgotten. For security reasons, City officials have kept the exact location of the chamber a secret—most of the 150,000 pedestrians who cross the bridge each day have no idea that it even exists.

Pomander Walk Twenty-seven buildings resembling Tudor homes with colorful doors, shutters and timber frames grace this gated street that’s tucked away on the Upper West Side, nearly completely out of view to passersby. Originally conceived as a temporary property that was to be knocked down and replaced with a hotel, Pomander Walk—which is modeled after an old London street and the set of a stage play, both of the same name—earned landmark status in 1982. Surrounded by buildings that tower hundreds of feet above its rooftops, this pedestrian-only lane of residences is a peaceful respite from the people and cars that hustle and bustle past its wrought-iron gates every day, unaware of the sanctuary within.

Hidden Subway Station Beneath City Hall The majestic subway station underneath City Hall has been inactive for nearly 65 years, closing for good on December 31, 1945. The station is an underground architectural marvel, with tall arched ceilings covered in antique tile and glass skylights that flood the space with natural light from above. It’s been sealed like a time capsule since then, but you can see it with your own eyes (from inside a subway car).

Whispering Gallery in Grand Central Terminal Grand Central Terminal has many secrets (just for starters: Franklin Delano Roosevelt had his own underground passageway that led to the Waldorf=Astoria hotel), but the Whispering Gallery is its most romantic. This unmarked archway, located in front of the Oyster Bar & Restaurant, possesses a mystifying acoustic property: when two people stand at diagonal arches and whisper, they can hear each other’s voices “telegraphed� from across the way. According to rumor, jazz legend Charles Mingus liked to play under the arches.

Tunnels Under Columbia Below Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus, a series of underground tunnels connects various school buildings. Tunnels below Buell Hall are just a few feet wide and are thought to date back to the insane asylum that once sat in its place, while the tunnels below Pupin Hall were a meeting place for scientists during the beginning stages of the Manhattan Project. While not entirely off-limits—students and faculty are technically permitted to use some of the tunnels to travel between buildings—security for the forbidden tunnels has increased in recent years in response to rogue tunnel explorers. Still, Columbia’s tunnels are everything a City secret aspires to be: dark, difficult to find and brimming with history.

Saint augustine´s Episcopal Church Slaves Gallery Within the simple walls of Saint Augustine’s Episcopal Church on the Lower East Side lies an unlikely reminder of racial segregation in New York. Cramped staircases lead to two concealed rooms, located behind the balcony, where African-American worshippers could hear church services without being seen. The rooms were informally known as the “slave gallery,” even though slavery was outlawed in New York by the time they were built in 1828. Fugitive 19th-century politician Boss Tweed reportedly hid in the gallery to attend his mother’s funeral. Ignored and branded for decades as a shameful part of Saint Augustine’s past, the space was recently restored and opened to the public in 2009.

Old Atlantic Avenue Subway Tunnel For more than a century, the lost Atlantic Avenue subway tunnel in Brooklyn was a thing of legend: The New York Times printed a story about tunnel-dwelling pirates in 1893, and sci-fi author H.P. Lovecraft portrayed it as a vampire den in a 1927 short story. The tunnel’s actual history is not so fanciful but still interesting: Cornelius Vanderbilt built it in 1844 to reroute Long Island Rail Road trains that were accidentally mowing down pedestrians. The tunnel was abandoned in 1861 and only rediscovered in 1980. (A steam engine is reputedly still buried somewhere inside.)

Staten Island Boat Graveyard One of the spookiest places in town is the Staten Island Boat Graveyard. Located far from the urban bustle in Rossville, Staten Island, this swampy patch of the Arthur Kill Road waterway is the final resting place for dozens of rusting, decomposing and abandoned boats of all sizes. The rotting ship hulls, protruding from the watery depths, are oddly majestic and beautiful (but also kind of gross; we recommend wearing long pants, not shorts, and sturdy shoes if you go). The gravesite can be found via a makeshift path off Arthur Kill Road near Rossville Avenue, about 13 miles by bike or car from the ferry terminal. It’s a truly forgotten corner of the City.

47 Once upon a time three friends to one day came up to do something for fun. On a train trip from Vermont to New York, Erika Forster and Annie Hart, friends for some time, decided to form a band with only keyboards, materializing their common passion for synths and inviting her friend Heather D’Angelo cool. And that´s how all began...

Au revoir Simone

Being from NY is all so charming that engages, the feeling you get is to be The Virgin Suicides. Noise endless love and that makes you feel ... at peace. The hypnotic noise.
Despite the error in its press release and endless reviews that insist the romance of a chance encounter between Annie and Erika on the train, they are happy with that kind of joke or legend of “lost sisters” who are, are meet and connect. And among which narrates stories have to describe Erika Au Revoir Simone. “They returned to the enchanted land of Brooklyn where they had a huge empty castle with a bunch of strangers. There they found wonderful instruments of the past to be clean and tidy. Then they started playing all instruments and so rode the great feast of Brooklyn, .... then the band was formed .... “According to Heather, or Hans Christian Andersen would have thought to write his story. Of course, “at that party had not invited people, but unicorns, unicorns only”. Because their music is, as Heather, “like unicorns, dreamy”: “dreamed” and the lyrics are inspired by the memories. Or as Erika, because every time I hear a song, see a picture or think of a melody, it introduced its “dream-crystal” to compose songs and to project in all directions.
Pete Ohs distinguishes in his video as Heather, the “dark” Erika, “high” and Annie, ... the “other”, the girls who play a half dozen keyboards and writing songs that end up on Grey’s Anatomy, specifically, “Through the Backyards”.
Au revoir Simone
49 Au revoir Simone
Björk fans who would happily opening for Belle & Sebastian before a performance of the Icelandic state that would perfect concert in a wild garden where people were not dancing nor parase. A very accessible place where the public be guided with lights .... because his music is “like exploring a secret garden with lanterns at night.” Songs can arise from a bike ride through Brooklyn, as cinematic as the group name. Au Revoir Simone, chosen as a reference to the first film by Tim Burton, Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985), the farewell between two characters in the film is the moment that inspired it. And at the same time, these vintage girls compose, do yoga, ride a bike, or have a great time with friends in Brooklyn, Grizzly Bear, TV On The Radio, CYHSY, ... or go on tour and party with California, We Are Scientists, while watching Twin Peaks ... or eat sandwiches at home director ... And after their music illustrated the David Lynch´s reading during the presentation of his book “Catching the Big Fish”, he became a fan of fairies Williamsburg forever .... so he describes like a music “fresh, new and innocent” with keyboards three friends from Brooklyn, is very funny, ... great!
05 Au revoir Simone
51 Au revoir Simone
For peace in your music and melodies fairytale style your style sometimes seems to belong to another century. Sientís that your music? Integrates today’s music?
Heather: Wow, well that really is a wonderful compliment. However, I can not agree without sounding completely selfish. I hope that our music sounds unique to people.
Annie: Definitely so sorry, we do and we play today without mentioning that the instruments we use are all modern electronic format and use “pop song” in most of our subjects.
Do you feel that you are opening your private dreams with the fans?
Heather: Well, as a synth band would have been completely impossible to do this kind of music a century before so I do feel that our music is modern.
Annie: I guess, our themes are pretty close, but many are stories. Heather: Yes, we share our most private thoughts in our lyrics.
Au Revoir Simone is originally from Brooklyn, but is more popular in Europe. Do you think the band name “Au Revoir Simone” being French has helped your success?
Where comes your inspiration?
Annie: I guess there has been more and apparently the French are the most like us.
Heather: So much!, Love, friendship, solitude, nature, other music, really everything.
Annie: The keyboard sound, drive my bike and life in general.
Today no one makes music like yours in the mainstream or indie Popular. Why do you think that is? Why your music can be considered unique? Annie: I’m not sure how unique is our music, but perhaps what sets it apart is the instrumentation and feeling of making electrical instruments feel warm and cozy.

65 Good save the Queen
Who would thought that this concert was going to be the last of Queen!? Anyway ... yes, I went to one of the two Wembley concerts, and it was an amazing experience that shocked me deep ...Again!
57 Good save the Queen
On Friday July 11, 1986. It was three days before my 20th birthday, and this concert was going to be the only show I saw the Magic Tour. It would also be the last time I saw Queen in concert, but do not focus on that! Three weeks later I would be offered a ticket to the show at Knebworth, only about 30 miles from my house, but it was on such short notice I could not get the day off from work, I was short of money and, to be honest, I liked the idea of being crammed into what was expected to be a vast audience exceeding 200,000 people, with Queen well, far in the distance, a small dot on the horizon, was as I imagined. Of course, in retrospect, I regret greatly that decision, but that’s life. Who? Knew this was going to be the last concert of Queen!? Anyway ... yes I went to one of the two Wembley concerts, and was an amazing experience that shocked me deep ...Again!
I wish I could be back! Queen at Wembley Stadium in 1986 was really a magnificent occasion. Greg Brooks recounts his experience met after the 25th anniversary of Live At Wembley Stadium
I had not seen Queen live from Wembley Arena in September 1984, and really could not wait to see them again. It felt like something that was sorely, sorely missed. I can not express the excitement I had inside and I can not properly describe how he felt now be 19 years old and about to witness in concert the group you want most in the world. No TV or video, but in person ... really real, live, and right before my eyes and ears! The prospect of seeing this band in concert filled práticamentee awake every minute of my life in the 2 or 3 months prior. I’ve never felt anything like that until then, or since. In fact, nothing remotely similar. It was an experience like no other that you can think of. The wait is over. Finally, Queen and I were in the same place, at the same time. Suddenly, after all the months of waiting and counting the days, right there in front of me on stage, is the band. A powerful scene, huge, huge, huge. That was the first thing that impressed me. An incredibly large stage, and lights, and equipment, and probably even too big a stage for Freddie to fill.Time will tell!
Good save the Queen
“Next time maebe”
85 Suddenly, there is smoke and sound and an overwhelming feeling that something immensely important is about to happen, as if a UFO from another world was about to fall, or some other event so extraordinary. Something big is coming and everyone around me is paralyzed by the scene. For once I’m at the right time and in the right place. All eyes are on stage. More noise, more smoke, high expectations and excitement, and then there comes the moment when everything comes titanic while jumping on stage and Freddie. There, Freddie Mercury 15 meters away, in striking yellow and white. It looks fantastic, is smiling and, like all of us there, ready for the show! He certainly intimidating power and the assault on the senses is almost ‘too much’ for me, at this point in my life. I’m having to hold me catch my breath. Queen is on stage, the four, wearing brightly, an amazing picture and inmediate dazzling, and only go 20 seconds! One Vision is filling the place, and again I realize it really is a shock to my system to have all these things while reaching one, all together at once. You have to do your best to keep quiet enough to stay conscious! Some people actually faint at times like this. I’m not exaggerating. During the first 10 minutes of every Queen concert I attended, there was an adjustment period, palpitations, blood pressure to rise, your heart beating to death near ... the rhythm of your body more erratic than a broken clock. Only when these things settle down to something closer to normal, you can start to really enjoy things. Eventually, the senses are stabilized, you become more normal, human again, and then you just go and just try to capture how many times you can. Freddie, John, Roger, Brian, fans who are with you, the rapport between audience and artist, noise and lights, and the atmosphere like nothing you’ve experienced. I remember so vividly bright colors. The sky, sunlight, fans in their shirts and scarves and posters and jean jackets covered with patches, and of course the stage and the lights and the band ... and the now iconic yellow and white military jacket Freddie. Was close enough to the stage to see everything clearly and bigger than life. About 20 or 25 rows back, probably, but that did not matter. I was there! I was at a Queen concert, and nothing would happen after I could change that. He was present at the penultimate concert that Queen did with Freddie in London. Enough is enough! I could go on and on, and mention several other things forever etched in my brain, but I understand that it will. You’ve seen the video, you probably have been there and bought the T-shirt, literally. The DVDs and CDs are fine, but really ... as the song says Roger ... You should been there! By Martha Bhorrys

His works have been labeled as crazy and outlandish, even aberrant, but ... What makes this Connecticut photographer to capture this series of images between dream and nightmare?
He approaches to the chair with a nervous gesture. Takes the bottle and drinks some water and suddenly, his face changes and it seems someone else.He is Mcterrum Lemus, one of the most famous photographers of the year. No one will see neither Nicole Kidman or Richard Gere in his images... In the photos the stars are anonymous and even sometimes are not human. Here we present the story of Mcterrum Lemus told by himself, becouse as he said “If someone has to get the dirt on my life, I better do it myself, because if someone does, always leaves something in the rubbishbasket “ I grew up in Water Bury, Conneticut, in a respectable neighborhood of the city. My story has not economic hardship and broken families. I love my family, and except small fights that daily interaction can generate, we have never had crisis. The problem is living in one of the states which belongs to the New England region. That means that everyone must behave as if it had a stick up his ass (laughs). Yes, yes, it may seem abrupt speak well of my fellow citizens, but 30 years of coexistence make you reach that conclusion. I did not leave these State until 21 years old and before the farest place I had been from home was Bristol. I guess I should be thankfull to this environment and its people because of that here I am now. Although they tried to educate me at school for other purposes, I wanted to build my own life, and I wanted that it to be diferent from the other schoolmattes´ . Photography was not more than a violent response against this repressive education.

Many have crossed my photographs of that have been presented to me by chance, without being prepared.
However, it is clear that as a good artist, if one day I wake up and I have an idea i mind that project. In that point, I do admit that if I can not find the scene for the p I doubt it. It is true that spontaneity brings freshness, yet it lies not the final value
