Ah, the days when you can embed Facebook’s IPO. Madness I tell ya!

rainbowvoyages asked: Have you done Calvi? Does it have a gay scene?

While I have yet to do Calvi (it’s on my Summer 2012 plan!), I can tell you from word-of-mouth and research that it seems to be a very gay friendly destination. Many hotels and events cater to that scene - there’s truly something for everyone. Like many music festival in Europe, it’s all about community and I would certainly give my stamp of approval!

Pace yourself for this project: INSIDE OUT.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. Exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually. It’s quite simple: Upload. Receive. Paste.
