Flex ausziehen

Hey there.
Since July i go to work on bicycle. On the way i pass the Flex - and club that started as an illegal underground club in 1989 in an unused sidetrack/-tunnel of the Vienna metro line U4. If i remember correctly they became legal in 1995. Long time ago, when i was still young and completely unspoiled, haha. Anyways, that's the club in Vienna if you like clubs and alternative music. And they do have a lot of live concerts there. I'm myself in the process of adding more furniture to my flat, mind set on moving in and so on . Last week i passed the Flex in the morning and there were people moving furniture out of the side entry. Sofas and stuff, into a truck standing in front of it. Looked like someone was moving. But who lives inside a club? Confused me for a moment. Till i realized it must have been one of the trucks they always have, with stuff from the bands or whatever. Funny moment.

Way more interesting about passing the Flex every morning is the fact that the walls near it at the 'Donaukanal' are the most sprayed-on walls of Vienna. Every couple of days there is new graffiti at some places, so it's interesting to follow the development. Mainly because there is some quite creative stuff, at least fun to watch the outcomes.
Something not-so-totally-on top but it still surprised me:
Looks familiar? Looks like a portrait of the recently deceased Helmut Zilk - former mayor of Vienna and media person. And it was done right after his death, quite up-to-date art. I'll keep on watching while passing those walls on bike.

Other than that not much to write. Life is good. One more pic i took last weekend next to a restaurant just outside of Vienna:

Der CGA, die Sau, die.
Say that out loud a couple of times and think of where i've been working at the beginning of my last job. Ha-ha.

Cheers.
