Let's Be Tolerant
A poster you could see around Brno not too long ago:
Make of it what you will. Thank goodness so many people remember that no one opposed the entry of the Czech Republic into the EU, less than two years ago. No one was upset by that, were they? (Oh wait, then complaints were by the Irish and about mad cow disease, cheap labor from the East, and economic instability. Now the Czechs et al. fear the Turkish, bird flu, and Eastern (in these parts, i.e., Ukrainians) workforces flooding the labor market. A completely new set of arguments.)

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
