I love to give the chance for venues that deserve it to gain recognition, visibility, and support. More so than giving bad evaluations, I like to make struggling venues shine, who I believe deserve it. There are many people that would not agree with my taste, and I will aknowledge that I have a terible tendency to not follow the mainstream, to a level which might even seem snobby. I love the alternative, underground, and less hyped kind of place. It speaks truth to me, and it speaks authenticity. I believe that nowadays, in a world of growing interconnectedness, we are at a constant struggle with defining authenticity. Yet, it is ever more crucial for us to find wholesome authentic places to visit, and I believe this is in the back of everyone’s mind - or almost everyone. The fact is, nowadays things are changing quickly: politically, environmentally, technologically. And the places that have stood the test of time- the traditions and foods that will survive, will always speak deep secrets of wisdom and longevity. And this can perfectly well go hand-in-hand with innovation and experimentation. The bottom line is, if you are doing something wholeheartedly, and are challanging the modern-day status quo, the corporate giants, and the conventional, I would like to give my support for the courage. And hopefully, I will do something similar too one day, so this counts for charma points, as well.
