The Palmenhaus was hidden behind scaffolding for decades before I discovered a rack of formal dresses and shoes for rent, music for dancing floating out into the summer night while couples glided on ...its open floors. To quote Abraham a Sancta Clara, German preacher of the Baroque era: "The human being is like the April weather, which is soon beautiful, soon wild, . . . soon trickling, soon snowy, soon flowery, soon clovery" In the projection room of the Butterfly House, I congratulate Sylvia Petter, Austrian-born Australian writer and owner of independent publishing effort Flo Do Books, on the reading and launch of the German edition of Ed's Wife and Other Creatures. A large poster of a caterpillar, spiky fuchsia hair, and a flower with the same color, titled Mimesis; the flower imitates the poisonous caterpillar's hair.

Technically, they are here for O-Töne, a literary festival that presents author readings every Thursday evening, but in actuality they are smoking joints and drinking wine, giving the event a ...carnivalesque atmosphere and rendering the authors- reading from a large, brightly lit stage beneath colorful museum banners-somewhat secondary to the party. Leave the cheerful noise of the festival and wander through the gardens separating the palatial Kunsthistorisches Museum from its twin, the Naturhistorisches Museum, past the resplendent National Library, and emerge into the narrow, cobblestoned alleys of the 1st District. Around the table are Florian Neuner, an experimental writer who has given a reading tonight and who publishes the annual magazine Idiome; Peter Pessl, who also read; there's the author Annalena Stabauer, who introduced and interviewed the authors for Alte Schmiede; and Ilse Kilic and Fritz Widhalm, who run a literary press called Das fröhliche Wohnzimmer (The Cheerful Living Room). The name, which translates to Old Smithy, comes from the space's previous life as a blacksmith shop, and in one of the two event spaces on site, authors hold forth amidst a battery of blacksmithing tools-hammers, anvils, thousands of various-sized pikes-which make the space intensely atmospheric, reminiscent of both torture chamber and S&M dungeon.
In the area of E-business, the construction of business initiatives is in many cases driven by the "how" and "what" instead of the "why" - supported by a high level business model.
