    Is the vintage crowd the curmudgeon crowd?

    Yesterday was one of the rare occassions when I left the house after 8pm. I have a rule - When I don´t have a plan for the evening before 6pm, I stay home, nearly no exceptions. And I hardly ever stay longer than till 2am, just because I need my eight hours of sleep. Plus, it´s really...

    Older women with younger men and VICE-VERSA!

    That´s true! One of our dons (I hope that´s the right expression for a college/university teacher), he´s 72 years old and each time we see him, he always says two things: "I forbid you to die before you´re 80, there´s too much to do!" and "I´m attending a philosophy class after I finish here...

    Lovely art deco furniture

    Some skilled artisans may be able to reproduce these pieces... We have the photos and we may be able to make some blueprints from the photos. But would it be cheaper and easier?

    Lovely art deco furniture

    I´m not sure this is worth its own thread, but maybe someone will find it interesting. I just found this website: http://www.modernista.cz/index.html It´s probably the most overpriced furniture I´ve ever seen, but it´s astonishingly beautiful.

    St. Patrick's Day

    Happy St. Patrick´s day to you all! It´s a good holiday, I wanted to celebrate it this year, but all my friends are lame and all of them made up some excuse... Does it really matter that it´s a regular working day?

    Vintage Travesty: Beware or this could be your City:

    But the buildings are not going to be demolished, are they? I have one more: Abandoned train station in Abkhazia (it´s hard to believe that it´s in Russia): http://englishrussia.com/?p=2035

    Negative Reactions?

    I get this a lot. When I´m going somewhere with my friends, they often tell me "...and wear something normal please, T-shirt and jeans..." My response is always the same "I will not. Nobody would notice me and I would look as bad as you". Yes, I´m a narcist and it helps me a lot :)

    Why did we hate the 1340's?

    1340´s were splendid over here! We were powerful, our king was also the emperor of the holy roman empire, he founded a university, new town of prague... Maybe there was a little plague once or twice, but still, one of the greatest decades ever :)

    Czechoslovakian superhero!

    Yes, that´s right! We had a superhero! His name was "Pérák" - "Springman" This cartoon is from 1946 and even though it´s not really funny, there are some moments... You´ll see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX5RuYVQxho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXErzTuSuTg No czech language is...

    Thank you both! Now I´ll start seriously thinking about this project...

    Cicada club details

    One more thing: I found the menus, but I can´t compare those prices with average prices. All I can say is that it´s quite expensive. Very expensive, for my taste. Can somebody make up some comparison of the prices, at least rough? I have no idea about prices in the US restaurants.

    Cicada club details

    So you say that it would be better to start with organizing events once a week in a role of a middleman between owner of the premises and personell and the band. That´s quite a good idea! Thank you very, very much for information and inspiration. This may actually end with some results.

    Cicada club details

    There was a thread about deco clubs around the world and I thought "it would be nice to have somethig like that in Prague". All I need to do is to make a plan, how it shall look and what´s realistic here. My main inspiration is nothin less than the famous Cicada club. I´m thinking about...

    Save a Suit, Lose that Wallet?

    I´ve never carried anything in the back pocket of my pants. I was too afraid to break the stuff when I sit down, as nearly all of my friends already did (one phone, two credit cards. I know why I hate the slim modern cell phones). I carry the wallet in the breast pocket and you´re right, it...
