new years eve…woot! we made pretty good use of new years eve, heading straight to montjuic in the morning to see mies van der rohe’s barcelona pavilion, the palau nacional and the museu nacional d’art de catalunya, and the font magica firing up and lit at sundown. we headed back to the hotel afterwards before catching a last minute bus back out for new years celebrations along la rambla. new years celebrations in barcelona are akin to riots…with alcohol. so yea, the d70s was left in the hotel room (i did bring my little elph tho). we looked around for new years fun after midnight, and everybody seemed to be headed to mare magnum (there were some bars and stuff on the top floor), but we couldnt bring ourselves to club it up in…ahem…a mall. yea, call it prejudices. so we had late nite foodage and headed back to the hotel afterwards…yar.
bonus | if youre curious what the font magica show looks like (its pretty nice) i recorded 30 seconds worth on my elph. so download it if you want here (17mb). yes its on its side. no i didnt feel like re-coding the video rotated clock-wise. yes im that lazy.
