The good old innocent austrian days:

In summer 1885 Theodor Herzl in his diary: "In Salzburg i had some of the finest hours of my life...". Wow. Yeah. What an opportunity for city marketing. They grasped it and set up a nice tablet with that quote. Cool.

An collective of artists is in major legal troubles now for completing what he wrote: "...i'd also loved to stay in this beautifull city, but as a jew, I never would have been promoted to the position of a judge." via Le Sofa (Love you!

Angst and poorness are the better driving factors." Via DCTP. The stick is more important than the carrot. Come on, even Britney knows that. Hit me baby on more time.
