perhaps i dreamt it, but at some point in the last 6 weeks i had the strongest feeling that i was in belgrade. we were drinking rakija and everyone around me was speaking srpski. but perhaps it was denmark because antonella & zoe were there, or maybe it was munich because andy was there, or it could have been cuba because that’s where i last saw maja, or amsterdam as urska was there – but now that i think about it, it must have been UpStage because there were also many cyberformers there – mem, kataRina, jelena, teodora …

anyway, in this dream, if it was a dream, andy & i shared an apartment with a trio of cats who were covertly conspiring turn us into domestic slaves by being excessively cute, characterful & crazy. we managed to contact some friends and meet at a secret kafana, where they recommended a hasty retreat to the countryside.

there on the banks of the dunav (danube) in an animated conversation, antonella and i used hand gestures to overcome our significant language and communication difficulties and successfully negotiate the transformation of our old krevet company into a new business – furniture moving. naturally this required immediate research and the development of a robust business plan which we based on rigorous product and market tests conducted with large pieces of furniture, small stairs and glamorous assistants.

i can’t remember much of the rest of the dream – just some sensations like slivović and kaimak and a bizarre city of rabbits, then there was a bit that was actually more of a nightmare than a dream, with homophobic hooligans painting threatening grafitti. but there were also lots of nice meetings & eatings.

towards the end of the dream, i noticed a mysterious door in the floor, which naturally i had to open and investigate. unwise perhaps … but there i found the stairs to the underworld; curiosity made me descend, & now that i have been there for some weeks i’m starting to get quite used to it. they say the underworld is the place from which no traveller may return, & i can really understand that. it’s very peaceful and quiet. you should come & visit some time.
