HELEN'S LOVER!

[BonzaiJoe]

Did you realise that when there is rain on your window in the night, the night gains another level if obscurity and inscrutability, and thereby another level of magic, if it wasn't for the fact that the moment you go out there, you can see the rain on the window no more, and the night becomes a little more clear and thereby less magic again. Maybe if you can transfer the window-obscurity to somewhere in your own eyes, this magic can be kept up - and maybe that's what Depeche Mode mean when in "Waiting For The Night", they say "to my surprise, with half-closed eyes, things looked even better than when they were open". Now there is always the discrepancy between something you imagine and the actual realization of what you imagine, and does the degree of that discrepancy define the magic of the particular event or the lack of quality of your own imagination? That's an interesting question, and possible something you can alter by yourself to your own advantage. And music, though appearing as sound, presents a land which, if it was real and not just imagined, would have a geographical area and features, quite unearthly and innovative features that is, a sort of dreamland. That's where I want to go.

I am able to go there! I made a piece of music together with two friends, the things we play 90% improvisational, except the lyrics we put together in 5 minutes (I sent the song to you, listen with eyes wide shut!):

Nacht

Es ist wieder Nacht
Sp?rst Du sie
F?hlst Du ihre Macht
Die Energie

Es ist wieder Nacht
H?r ihr Lied
Was hast Du blo? gedacht
Wei?t Du was geschieht

Komm, wir geh'n.

Bad day for CTG! Do elevator doors open vertically? Otherwise, how did you hit your head before hitting the door with your feet?

Now that would be fun!

I LOVE paternosters:

however, I never dared to go below/over the last story of the building

We have a paternoster in our mayor's house - each time I'm there I have to go one full round with it, going up, turning down and going up again. It's great fun! 

This is the one in our mayor's house:

This one is in the Ministry of Education:

And the third one in Kiel at the Schleswig-Holstein parliament:


There ist a page about Paternosters with pictures of them all (http://www.flemming-hamburg.de) but it is very slow. There it is written, that in Hungary there are some Paternosters for Zak to conquer, too:

Budapest
- Corvina, V?r?smarti ter
- ELM? - Budapester Elektrizit?tswerke, Zentrale          
- Jahn Ferenc Hospital          
- Ministerium f?r Erziehung und Kultur          
- MOL - Magyar Oil Corporation

What are paternosters and what's the story?

[zaqrack]

its an elevator which has not one, but several cabins going each after each round and round. There is no door, it's open while travelling, and constantly moving - great for some stunts when stepping in/out

check one in movement:

(music recommended to CTG:))

the list of Budapest is not complete, we have one at the main court and also in the ministry of economy and traffic - I visit quite often the latter one

[JTK]

So next time you go there, just do the 360? round! Dare it, pipsqueak!

[Chulk]

Now I get it. If you don't leap out in the last floor, you turn around and go down with your feet over your head! At least until you re-accomodate yourself.

[zaqrack]

no

but this is what kids are afraid of

[Krys TOFF]

Isn't there any accident with such kind of elevators ?
I mean, especially with children trying to enter or leave these elevators and get an arm or a leg blocked ?

[Chulk]

no

So cabins are hanging, so to avoid flipping over, right?

Or head chopped...

That would be awful, are those elevators that dangerous or they have some kind of stop activated by some sort of sensor or anything like that? I don't think so as they appear to be very old but still I ask...

[zaqrack]

there is no security at all - that's why it isnt used anymore anywhere and children are not allowed to use it.

[BonzaiJoe]

Well, a dead dog or a really old dog...
