I Spy Again
08/09/2007
A couple of weeks ago, while waiting for Mattie and Dilys, I took a photo of Peter Božič at Prešeren square in the centre of Ljubljana. At the time, Pengovsky mentioned the special relationship between Božič and Miha Jazbinšek. As it turns out, the mountain came to me and I didn’t have to set up a spy camp in downtown Ljubljana as popular as that may have been up until recently.
I was about to order my cocktail at klub300, enjoying the company of Adriaan and our lawyer friend when we noticed Jazbi (Slovene 101: jazbec = badger) sipping his beer and very involved in a debate with his company. Seeing as I haven’t invested into a telephoto lens yet (and actually nikki was left home), I walked up to them with Adriaan’s compact and asked for permission to take a picture at not much of a surprise to the camera’s owner, the lawyer however announced she would deny any association with me. But hey, this badger is a ‘stari maček’ (Slovene 101: stari maček = old cat = old hand) and had no problem having his threemillionfivehundredthirtytwothousandtwentysecond picture taken. So here you go. I still have to do the face-off pic. Soon…
Thanks for the lovely evening, you guys and thanks for being cool about the pic, Jazbi. Oh and the sex on the beach was great, as well.

Jazzby is cool… If he only didn’t talk as much 😀
Probably one of the best trumpet players this town has to offer.

You could’ve asked him to sing “My Way”, too. He usually doesn’t need too much egging on.

OK so next time I see him I have to ask for a performance on the trumpet followed singing My Way…. how many beers should I invest in first? 😉 Can’t wait…

Dunno about My Way, but his Summertime is definitely good 🙂

i didn’t realise this man had so much talent. You were more than welcome to borrow my compact camera for the occasion – it would have been a shame to miss the opportunity, but I admired your chutzpah in asking him to pose!
Of course, now that you have your own little compact you’ll never be caught unawares, eh?

Morska: what… sing? I’ll test that (and film it)
P: Can’t wait to hear that one live!
Adriaan: Quite a versatile fellow, huh? Don’t know if Alenka told you he was in the Green party…
Kalyan.. thanks

F: No, ask Mr. Jazz Bi to do it. I don’t sing anymore 🙂

Morska: Oh, that… trust me, I don’t need a beer to do that either… I have suficient if not surplus chutzpah (thanks, Adriaan, for teaching me yet another word/expression). I was wondering how many drinks I should buy AllThatJazzzzby before getting him to sing… but I suppose Crni is right.
Adriaan: PS nikki jr. will get her own blog entry as soon as I’ve found some Juice for her 😉
