Letters from Abroad

·

BOLOGNA, Italy – You know you aren’t in Bloomington anymore when you can only find peanut butter at an exotic food store. I have been in Europe for one week now, and I have spent the entire time trying to deal with culture shock. For instance, there is no Comedy Central, and I don’t know the intended use of half of my bathroom fixtures. Also, I have been frantically searching for an apartment. There has been very little time for arts and entertainment this week, and more of a focus on survival. I have to say that there are a few things I really think someone could have mentioned before I left.

The SoFA Gallery’s 20th birthday bash Saturday was quite an event. I got there early so I could see the bands play and (hopefully) capture some great and unique styles with my camera. Because this was an art event, I thought I would see a lot of creative outfits, but I was let down a bit. People looked great, I will admit, but I didn’t see anything super special.
