Independence Day
For lack of anything better to say on this Fourth of July, I'm reminded of my attempt at an absurdist account of last year's celebrations in Praha.
Unfortunately, I can't help but thinking the quote from Elie Wiesel's I chose last year is perhaps an even more important sentiment now.

None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims. . . . Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, it is our gift to each other.—Elie Wiesel

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.
