Hello everybody!
Just woke up, huh? It’s OK, one Saturday morning of redemption every now and then is just fine. Actually, I woke up a few hours ago with a genuine push to start working on my brand new Scissor&Soul Haircuts catalog, but didn’t. And when I say “start working”, I say design the haircuts. Because there are many details that still need to be checked. Such as finding the photographer.
Anyway, that’s not what I actually had in mind when I opened the New Post section. What I did have in mind was/ is the new born Summer Well festival near Bucharest.
Here I am, on August 13th, entering the premises at Domeniul Stirbei. It’s sunny but not too warm, it’s crowded but not hectic. It’s all cool and nice, and yet, a weird thought crosses my mind. I believe it’s because the whole thing has a somewhat Berlin vibe to it. Don’t get me wrong, I utterly and irreversibly L-O-V-E Berlin, but I don’t appreciate imitations.
Anyway, I’m walking around this immense green space in this great country of ours and, without my knowing, I get hooked onto the map of Stirbei. Not a difficult one, but I am not that skilled with maps. I’d like to make them, but not read them. Suddenly, I unleash myself from the Map Web and I lift my head and what do I see? A crowd of people. all laughing and vibrant and just having fun while anxiously waiting. I say to myself “This can’t be copied and pasted. It’s the real thing”. Great is my joy when I look around further more and see the cool haircuts. some loose on the back, some geometrically cut while others totally taken out of bed and towards Stirbei.
What I want to say here is “People, you take away and then you restore my faith in innovation. With great power comes great responsibility. Please don’t mess this up for me”.
