Postcards For A Grand Tour


Matt Wardell

Matt wanted me to place two cards. For the first one he instructed me to circle which cat best reflects my mood at the time before placing the card. For the second card he asked me to leave it in a public bathroom.

Matt instructed me to circle which cat best reflects my mood at the time. I'm alert and a bit overwhelmed. I think I'm naming this cat Pompey. Happy with the ridiculously cool Airbnb I found way south in Trastevere in Rome. The owner is so into crossfit it reminds me of LA. I left this card at my Airbnb in Paris. It was small but had an amazing view. I was in Paris and I really needed to pee and there was no true public restroom around so I went into a real posh, douchey bar and used their restroom and left Matt's card. The bartender was a bit peeved with me but I just smiled at him and said "merci!" And swiftly left. I put this card on a bench in a park by the Grand Palais in Paris. I left this card at a cafe in Brussels. I left this on at a bar in Brussels. I left this card in a very public urinal at a park in Brussels. My train from Berlin to Amsterdam had to stop way early about an hour outside of Amsterdam Central Station due to unnamed "technical difficulties." But the delay was certainly not disappointing. I spent most of the trip drawing with this curious kid. I taught him some English and he taught me some German. Plus he helped me work out my frustration with the travel delays on Matt Wardell's card. I think little Tijl Forrer and I made a good collaborating team. I'm always carrying around washable pens with me from now on. This was at about 6:30 in the morning while walking home after one of the best days/nights/days I could have ever imagined dancing my sweaty ass off at Berghain in Berlin. Matt wanted me to place these cards in any public restroom. I left it in a fairly clean public restroom on the Insel der Jugend, or the island of the young in Berlin. I left this card on a park bench near the Grand Palais in Paris.
