I · D R E A M · about travelling allmost every night. In the dream I have several problems getting away and allways wake up when the dream is taking a bit chaotic direction. Maybe I feel that it’s time to make some planning for a major trip abroad.The city Austin (named after Stephen F. Austin), the capital of Texas growing rapidly. Several new skyscrapers are approved in Downtown etc. I got an invitation to the Game Developers Conference at the Convention Centre, a show held in September. Also listended to Patty Griffin, the artist from Austin and added her as a myspace friend tonight. Heard that Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple, is a good friend of hers. Joined the Mac music group also.
I try to make some comparisions beteween my ”new” reconstructed hometown Stockholm West (aka Vixton/Vallingby) and Austin. Austin much bigger but some likenesses may excist. The device "Keep Austin Weird" is mentioned on the net, meaning that the city is known for its blend of lifestyles with artists, musicians, accademics, workers etc. UofT is located on a campus outside the downtown. One former colegue at work visited a media education program at UT a couple of years ago. Would be interesting to visit Austin.
