!!!!!!!!!

So my coordinator, Sophie, has tuned in to the fact that I like to party. She came in to my class right before my test started and dropped a piece of paper with a list of all the active Discotechs in Italy. Then, after that, she showed me an article about a party happening tomorrow night called Amore.

It starts at 9 and ends at 9. Here's the lineup:

Danny Tenaglia- Sasha- Magda
Claudio Coccoluto- Camea
Dj Red - Maurizio Cascella
Francesco Assenza
!!!! Tenaglia and Sasha. Say no more. Say. No. More.
Ok, enough rave talk. We have an Italian assignment to research a famous Italian poet, and I've taken a shine to Trilussa.
Numeri
è vero, ho poco valore,
- diceva l'Uno allo Zero -
ma tu che vali? Niente, proprio niente.
Sia nelle azioni che nel pensiero
Rimani un oggetto vuoto e intuile.
Io, invece, se mi metto davanti ad una fila
Di cinque zeri uguali a te,
lo sai che divento? Centomila.
è una questione di numeri. Più o meno
è quello che succede al dittatore
che aquista potenza e valore
tanti più sono gli zeri che lo seguono.
Numbers
Yes, it's true, I'm not one of value,
- says the One to the Zero -
but what's your worth? Nothing at all.
Neither in the actions or in the thought
You still remain an empty and useless thing.
Me, instead, if I am first of a line
Of five zeros like you
Do you know what I become? One hundred thousand.
It is a matter of numbers. More and less
it's the same that happens to the dictator who increases his power and value
according to the zeros that follow him.
Trilussa was well known in Rome for speaking against the church, government, power in general, and writing of for the people. He often spoke in satire, equatable in some ways to Jonathan Swift. Nothing in his repetoire about eating babies, unfortunately.
Get to download a whole lot of culture next week, lots of walking tours and learning. My head has started to hurt at the end of my Italian classes, and I have to get up and walk around to stay focused.
But yeah, Sasha. Unst unst unst.

I am jealous. To Halloween, and don't be rubbing your good time in Europe in when I'm Xerxes!

Actually, Magda is the best person on that lineup. She's cute, too.

You were totally right, Lori, Magda was the best person that night. She owned me.

I have had the pleasure of tenaglia and sasha in Dallas And miami, but magda naw havent experienced such a musical feat.
But when one can let the music take them to the place/ love, the expression of the movements in the body abounding all obstacles. (at least you think so while the act of, Say 5 hours of freakin is going on)

The others, I must say, dont know., any phantasmals in the group?
