MOVIE TOP LIST 4

Ok, Talking about Roberto Begnini, there is another GREAT movie I would like to
recommend you! 'Night on Earth' by Jim Jarmush. One of the early Roberto Begninis
and his part is definitely one of the most funny ones in the whole movie. There is also
a very young Winona Rider to be seen. I have enjoyed this movie already many times
over the years and still really like it and it still makes me laugh! so...enjoy!

FOCUS DRS3

Letzte Woche beim DRS3 hören habe ich Conradin Perner kennen gelernt.
Zuerst lauschte ich einfach Musik, bis plötzlich dieses Interview begann und
ich langsam aber sicher innehielt um bald gebannt zuzuhören. Was für eine
eindrückliche Geschichte, was für Weisheiten dieser Mann von sich gab.
Einfach so, ganz bescheiden und gut bündnerisch direkt. Unbedingt hinhören
- es lohnt sich wirklich. http://www.drs3.ch/www/de/drs3/sendungen/focus/2655.sh10194954.html

IBIZA COFFEE

I was reminded by a good friend, that this sample for lovely packagging
design was not on my blog yet. I will change this immediately :o)
I proudly present this souvenir I brought with me from Ibiza. Ibiza café.
Have not tried it yet, but if it is as good as the packagging looks like it will
definitely wake me up in the morning! http://www.cafesibiza.com/

DUSTY SIGNS - YEAH!!!

I heard of it on the swiss radio station DRS3, moderated by one of my favorite radio men:
Reeto von Gunten. And he told the world about these great guys. I thank him for telling me -
and of course need to tell you! Dusty signs is an studio in Minneapolis lead by real craftsmen
who are specialised in sing painting. No ugly quickly produced standard fonts, but real hand
drawn typography for your shop, window, sign. really beautiful and I like it a lot.
check out there website: http://dustysigns.com/
