After a markedly low point one evening, my dear friend, Francesca Noero, shared this link to a small group of our friends. Needless to say, after we each visited our childhood home, the air lifted and the commitment to a beautiful proceeding set in motion. We ended our evening watching the sun rise over the San Francisco bay.
This month marks the one year anniversary of Arcade Fire's release of its third album, titled The Suburbs. Chris Milk, in collaboration with a number of creatives and their friends at Google, wrote and directed a "video" of sorts featuring the Arcade Fire song, "We Used to Wait." As you enter the site, you will be prompted to enter in your childhood address of where you grew up. Tip: if at first the engine does not recognize your address, enter another address from where you grew up (such as your school) or just go ahead and proceed... it should find something nearby.
Below, find the link to an interactive viewing experience conducive to epic bouts of nostalgia.
The Wilderness Downtown
My postcard: "Keep doing what you're doing, and trust your heart. It will lead you to the right place." And as the sun rose later that evening, I couldn't feel more sure that I am in the right place.
