Can't say enough about these folks and about couchsurfing in general.
Dope ass people that are into indie rock and drumroll......UNDERGROUND HIP HOP! They played me some pretty listenable Bulgarian and Croatian hip hop. It's actually pretty dope because Bulgarian is a harsh language so it's real raw and rusty when they rhyme. The beats are full of East Coast grime -- almost like RZA or Jedi Mind Tricks type stuff.
But either way, I'm mad grateful to have met them. George is a programmer/developer, and Vickey is a badass designer/photographer. I will print/frame/hang some of her design work as soon as she sends me a hi-res image.
It kind of sucks that no matter how hard some people work, or how talented they are, they will never see what they can really accomplish. Life in Bulgaria is tough and there is no room for upward mobility. The power and money is in control of the few -- past commies, the mafia and their cronies.
I know, without a doubt, that Vickey can go work anywhere and be a dope art director. And, I mean, she's in fucking marketing-retarded Sofia -- where their idea of an ad is a jingle, a celebrity endorsement, and a naked girl.
I just imagine what she'd create if she were to be immersed in it -- a city like New York where art, design, museums, galleries, edge, grafitti , etc. is everywhere.
