The Midnight Run
In the Midnight motto, ‘star’ can be taken literally, or as a metaphor for art, artists, experiences and the people in the shadow of the city, in which case it takes on a beauty and importance:
The Midnight Run //
Cause we can't see stars for fumes
we turn to smashed glass, believing
shards shine like constellations do.

I met Elena of http://www.cct-seecity.com last week to talk about a possible MNRun in Florence, Italy next September. Check out her website, a lot of information on what is going down in Florence, the rest of Italy and thematic similarities from there to the rest of world. (You will have to know the Italian language, though there are a few articles in English).

“The mid-night run is as real as London gets, leaving you loving the city and feeling enchanted.”

“The midnight run to me was sharing chips and Oreo cookie milkshakes in Tinsletown at 2am and standing on the Hungerford Bridge, watching the sun come up over London and feeling a massive sense of belonging to my city…And not needing to wear a cardigan for the whole night because in those days we actually had a summer!”
