Almost a Fistful


Vicenta, Edward, Tobias, and David (from left to right)
Some light Friday afternoon reading, and some faces you may not have seen yet. A month ago, almost exactly two years after the day that will live in infamy, the first afoe meet-up took place in Stockholm.

Despite the fact that not everyone in the fistful could make it to the Swedish capital, it was a great opportunity to discuss the past, present, and future of Europe, the world, blogs in general and afoe in particular. But above all, it was great to finally meet some of the people with whom so many emails were exchanged – a valuable reminder that the blogosphere can not only lead to a meeting of minds, but, in some cases, also to a meeting of entire people.

About Tobias Schwarz

German, turned 30, balding slowly, hopefully with grace. A carnival junkie, who, after studies in business and politics in Mannheim, Paris, and London, is currently living in his hometown of Mainz, Germany, again, working on a phd when he's not too busy writing, composing, or supporting his home side Mainz 05. Turned New Labourite during a research job at the House of Commons, but difficult to place in German party-political terms. Liberal in the true sense of the term. His political writings are mostly on A Fistful of Euros these days. His personal blog Almost A Diary was a predominantly political blog in 2002-2003 but is now usually living up to its name, even though it can also be reached through the promising URL www.ichbindeutschland.de. Other bloglike activiy includes his musicblog www.tapsmusic.de, his musician account at myspace.com (myspace.com/tobischwarz), where you can listen to some of his songs..

  2. a) yes it should. Will be conrrected immediately.
    b) The selected part of the photo could not have been much larger either, unfortunately. While being the best photo featuring all of us together, the person who took it tried to fit the entire building behind us into the frame. So we were left with not too many pixels to choose from…
