Edição Histórica 245
Would you ever believe that paradisiacal Florianópolis could become the center of a big, international hacker scheme? And that British secret agents were sent there to neutralize it? Well, have a look at Archie and the Dutchmen of Campeche to find out how the story goes. Meanwhile, the survivals (like Paul) and the revivals (like Genesis) in the music market don’t keep promising new arrivals like Rihanna from conquering a place in the sun. Maybe the music market is somehow similar to Canada’s ice hotel, which opens every year for four months, just to melt all over again – and is beautiful in its short life! Or just as Bruno, our sound editor, commented: “It’s amazing that jazz doesn’t make much success, but jazz festivals (like Cork’s) do”. And talking about melting away, finally there’s a “winter” sport in which Brazilians can perform world class (though currently are way behind Americans): sand boarding, which, unlike its snowy counterpart, can be practiced the year round, as there will always be a sand dune waiting for you (or more so, with global warming…). What do you think, time to get on board? But I didn’t have time to talk about Venice’s biennial, or the Brixton tour, or New York on a bike… Never mind, you’ll find out soon. Happy slopes!
