I think I finally found out how to surf the Internet and do research online as I am still on my fact finding mission about record braking flag sizes.
A funny thing happened at the New Orleans Public Library. The lady at the information counter was really nice to me, helped me find old copies of the Guinness Book of Records, she chatted with me. I told her that I was looking for stats on the largest flags. With the best intentions, I am sure, she got on the Internet and of course the first thing that popped up was Ski Demski’s SUPERFLAG. Little did she know that record was broken ages ago – and I told her so – having dedicated a working week to researching the flags. She was really nice and polite but she didn’t seem to accept the fact that Ski Demski’s “Old Glory” a.k.a the Superflag is just not the biggest flag in the world anymore – especially she didn’t seem to accept that United Arab Emirates are just about the break he record today, if I am not mistaken!
Anyway, I am definitely far away from Europe (funny the only largest flag record from Europe I found was from Switzerland). In Europe lots of nice arty things have happened, such as the Gender Check exhibition in Vienna. I somehow wasn’t included in the show, I was a bit offended and I will never talk to the curator EVER! Guess I suck! Well I did not make into “Gender Check” but was AT LEAST “Name Checked” in an interview with Dunja Blazevic on the shows website.
