This might be the weirdest post ever on this blog and the most obscene photo, but I couldn’t help taking it today when I biked up a mountain and placed myself on the little pulpet that was the highest point (93 meters - wow).
When I saw my shadow I was reminded of the silhouette of the original Destroyer (described in Destroyer 04). So I placed myself as I remembered him and took a photo.
Pretending to be a god - a deadly sin! But why be so dead serious all the time. 
Break

Dear readers. As you might have noticed, I’ve taken a break from the daily blogging. I’m working on a secret project (a personal one, not Destroyer related) that demands my full attention til it’s finished. Which is also why you shouldn’t expect a new issue of Destroyer anytime soon. Bear with me. And thanks for recent comments about site design. I will implement things over time. But as for now: Focus, Karl!
Norbert Bisky and Tobias Bernstrup

Last Friday I had the pleasure to buy one of my visiting resellers an Apfelstrudel and talk about the history and fate of gay bookstores and gay publishing. We ended up in another gay bookshop, where I bought the booklet from Norbert Bisky’s last exhibition Ich War’s Nicht. Loooove it! Especially Alba (pictured here. It turned out Bisky’s new exhibition would open the very same day. In fact, the very same hour. So off we went to see this:
Dedicated Destroyer readers know how weak I am for the beastly power of boys, so needless to say, I love the art of Norbert Bisky. I also had the honour to meet the artist himself and have my new booklet signed:
(Can anyone who’s German tell me what it says on the second line?)
Then we continued to the main attraction for the night, Tobias Bernstrup’s vernissage/performance Neon Love, an orgy of cabaret and synthesizers:
He sang:
Young boys.
Young boys at midnight.
All dressed in white.
Lovely.
Morning post

How nice to wake up at 5 o’clock. It’s summer and the sun is already up. You’re free from school/work for another couple of months, and you intend to make the most of them. So you enjoy the first hour of the morning on the balcony with Foucault. When your stomach starts making sounds, you make a cup of coffee for yourself and a couple of cheese sandwiches. You digest them to the sound of the morning news. Nothing happened today - like always in the summer time. You eat the bread and sip the rest of the coffee on the balcony while finishing Foucault. At about 6:30 you start reading a crime novel to the sounds of the birds chirping in the trees. Nice. Maybe it’s time to mount that hammock today? Then it dawns on you: I haven’t gone to bed yet! Darn. Oh well, it was a lovely morning anyways.
Tonight I had the pleasure to meet for the first time and party with Reb Kerstinsdotter, who wrote the academic thesis about Destroyer. We ended up at a party where Robert Stadlober dj’ed.
