More Postal Fun
For the second day in a row I've got exciting things in the mail. Today I noticed that the stamp on one envelope had a picture of Jaroslav Ježek, a partial namesake of this blog. The 12-crown stamp commemorates the centenary of his birth.
As critic Jiří Černý titled his Lidové noviny column (of 24 April 2006), "Ježek Won't Be Winning the Elections," but at least he won't be forgotten completely. Since these are the denomination of stamps for sending letters to the U.S., some of you may get your own personal copy!
Černý's column is reprinted (in Czech) at his blog/Web site.,br />

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.

I guess it's time I sent some letters...
