To the love of my life

I sat down with my coffee and my valentine.

Thinking back at that day in SoNo I think it was 2001. It was a place named Barcelona, a winebar. I was probably drinking a T&T.

I looked around the cafe taking my first sip of coffee and I saw a big frame above the bar with a black mirror.

The song “I have seen that face before was playing”. The door opened, she walked in, at least thats what it seemed like in the black mirror. It reminded me of my friend Hervé from the Hotel School who had told me about that Netflix show.

I pulled out the paper and thought back to that night in SoNo when we met. I smiled, as the song no communication, no love (devestating) started playing.

one of those moments, had to be there...

This page i created for Kili, it was never ment to be public, but while it nicely illustrates how AI can sense the vibe I thought to make it public. While normally I share the notebook with source material so you can ask yourt own questions, this time do that via the "about page". You can ask me about SoNo, Barcelona anything. But just to be clear, for this audio description of the day in the cafe, I simply used the tracks from Stéphane Pompougnac Hotel Costes Vol 1, a wikipedia page about the typewriter, and a page of notes as I recalled the first night I met Kili.

share this with anybody

    you can support us by buying a "cup of coffee", Thanks, and hope to see you soon. 

    PS We plan to serve food soon too and are working on our menu. Besides that our resident DT wants to host late night. Music less talk for twenty-somethings.

    in the mean time we focus on food for thought
