The 25 Hour Day

The 25 Hour Gas Station

Thank God we had an extra hour to sleep last night. I needed it after a late night last night at the Kunsthaus (Art Museum) in Zurich. Last night we went to event at the Art Museum that a friend was DJ-ing at. It was an evening event call the night of illumination and had a couple of special activities for the occasion.

While I think the idea of keeping the Museum open for an evening is a good idea I thought the special events were a bit lame. In one area of the museum they turned off the main lighting and you went through the exhibits with flashlights. As a guest you literally had to point your flashlight at the painting to see what it was. It was cool for about the first 60 seconds, and after the feeling of snooping around the museum like a thief wore off it just got old.

The event lasted until midnight and we just missed the 12:06 train from mainstation so we had to wait around for another hour to catch the next train at 1:06 AM. I didn't get home and in to bed until about 1:45 so it was a late night that made Sunday even tougher.

The good thing about Sunday was that we did get an extra hour for sleep since we set the clocks back. The funny thing was during the day on Sunday we took a trip to Bremgarten for a festival and we walked past a gas station with a type-o on the sign proclaming it was open 25 hours a day (25 h). This was the only day of the year when that could even be remotely considered true so I just had to take a quick snapshot.
