Red Square, last Tuesday night.















St. Basil, with the blues.




















On top of the grave of a significant communist.















Marx and Lenin hanging out near Red Square.

Cool. I like St. Basil especially.

Hey, petey B tells me your back in town. Give me a call sometime

Hey Brian. I didn't know you were in the former Soviet Union. I would like to visit there someday. Not knowing much of the history - I'd probably have to do research. Of course there's a 'Tarkovsky museum' 500km from Moscow...

Are the Russian people harsh and brusk like they say? Is the emotion buried beneath a wintry layer of babushka and vodka? I've heard that being gentle and soft-spoken is anti-normative there... would one survive? What kind of films play there? I should probably just send an email...

Talk soon, man.

Dude, when are we going to hear about your travels through Ireland?
