Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

When people ask me what I would like to do if I were not a software engineer I usually reply that I would like to work in Cat's shelter. I would like to be surrounded with hundreds Cat's who will even walk across me like I am a piece of furniture - what could be better!!! Sure the sad reality of Cats shelter is that they put Cats to sleep as that would make me very much impossible to work their. There is another job that I would like to do if I don't need to fulfill the pragmatism of adult life and would not need money. I was idolizing about it in past and told and even proposed to number people about it but it all was juts mouth running. However, yesterday talking with Yoshi and listening to what he was saying kind of refreshed my juvenile fantasies about my “would be a second job”.

Read the Yoshi article “Have You Been To "Naru"?”

The article describes a culture of public places where people go not just to eat, or not to listen the “elevator music” as a background of their bar’s smalltalk but rather the establishments where people enter and spending time with the only purpose: to be engaged in listening experiences. I think if a similar culture of “Classical Music Café” would materialize I would gladly work or run such a place.

I envision it in a way very much similar to some of the best FM programming from WHRB. A program with selected recordings is built, scheduled, announced and the menu and liquor list is adjusted according to the scheduled musical program. The food and drinks, along with any other house services are fixed and executed only when it is allowed or necessary, also they are executed in a “special fashion” (I will not go in details). Dining/listening room is filled with sixty-seventy people who pay just an admission price. A good playback installation is built and the play the performances prefaces with is a short, artfully crafted and anecdotes-stuffed introduction.

I fund that spending time as a “vendor” a place like would be very gratifying and very much fulfill some of my internal interests..
