Barcelona + MUTEK scheduling

[petronia]

Just bought my MUTEK pass. So in actuality, I'm getting back from Primavera Sound (Pulp!!!) and diving straight back into five days of techno and bass music, with a one-day buffer. Ahahahaha orz. I should note that Primavera lineups go til 6AM, none of this NAmerican "curfew" nonsense. After which I imagine one is meant to go watch the sunrise from the beach or something.

...THE BEACH. Have not seen one since '08! Sitges looks nice. Or go to Sant Sadurní d'Anoia for a winery tour? There are only so many hours when half the week is taken up by a music festival, and museums are closed on Mondays. I do have to make it to the Fundació Joan Miró. Is the football even on? ...I suppose, as with Italy, this won't remain a mystery long once I actually get there.

If anyone has restaurant recommendations, now is the time. Nota bene I kind of doubt I'm getting a reservation at El Bulli. XD;

* input timesheet for this week and next
* set away email message
* print out Primavera ticket
* print out hotel confirmation
* check into flight and print boarding pass
* change money at bank (200 euros?)
* figure out train schedules for day trips (Google Map as necessary)
* pack electronics (camera - borrowing parent's - laptop, cords, EUROPLUGS)
* pack clothes (swimsuit, sarong(s), towel, sandals, capris, etc.**)
* haircut and body wave
* download Lonely Planet / Time Out app for iPod Touch
* call Visa so my card doesn't get stopped again = =

The idea of reading any fiction after the Dunnett splurge is like, oyyyyyyy. I started back in on The Origin of Species, which I had in the iBooks app.

** That "yacht vice raid" blazer I got for $20, the very cheerful orange and blue wrap from SWAP, the Pucci dress if I feel like attracting muggers... The trick is not to over-pack, I always end up acquiring stuff. The other day I bought one of those gauzy drawstring-collar shirts with blackwork embroidery at French Connection, because my fashion inspiration = whatever is in my head, basically (this got "interesting" when I was watching Classic Who). It's a revival of one of FCUK's best-selling designs from 1972. Perhaps drawstring-collar shirts with blackwork embroidery have never been completely out since 1550. XD;;

The football: this weekend's the last in the Spanish league. OTOH next Saturday is the Champions' League final, in which FC Barcelona is playing, so expect massive crowds watching outdoors and all-night drunken celebrations should they win. (Sadly I can tell you all this off the top of my head.)

Horribly envious of Primavera and looking forward to hearing about it. *_*

So I'm not the only one who purposely tried to dress like Sarah Jane Smith?

I did channel a bit of Sarah Jane. I also tried to dress like Three, straight up.
