moving out of friedrichshain

5 March 2006

I moved out of my place ( €330 a month, friedrichshain, 1 br, nice wood floors, newly renovated ) and moved all of my crap into fredrik's (bless his soul). I'm off to NYC, Tuscon AZ and Bethlehem PA for 1 month; then I'll come back and get a new apartment in Berlin for the summer.



Friedrichshain is getting more student and more gentrified, yet still there just aren't that many actually cool places to eat. Life is about eating (when not making music or fucking with the damned internet). Lots of restaurants, but few with good food and honest style. Some good restaurants in friedrichshain: Meyman, Lemongrass, Amber.

So I'm probably moving up to Prenzlauer Berg or down to Kreuzberg. The summer is wonderful in Berlin, but God help me if I don't manage to avoid next winter. When it first rolls in (the darkness) its nice—time to buckle down and make music undisturbed. My february we are all quite disturbed : Cabin fever.

Where will I go then ?

      "happy" halloween. I'm off to Waxtreatment to see Shackleton and see if he can convince me to move to Schillerkiez or not. I'm not feeling it down there, but he loves it.

    • O Tannenbaum

      I'll be DJing tonight [Fri Oct 22, 2019] down at O Tannenbaum (Sonnenallee 27, Neukölln).  I've been hanging out there lately because Pieter plays thick funk from Mali, we argue about Iggy, drink strong Belgian beers and they have girls. And deer.In our last episode: Timeblind is awoken by the sounds of the Nigerian Mafia kicking in his door, intent on recovering the Reel to Reel Tape he stole the previous evening from the Unarius Academy of Science while attending ...

    • Welcome to the West

      I was in a bar a few weeks back, drunk, talking to some people and listening to this girl tell us about growing up in East Germany. Just to paint a picture: she was very attractive, blond, very lively and also a bit drunk. She mentioned the dolls that they used to have, an Eastern German version of the Barbie Doll and I accidentally joked something like "were the dolls named Helga ?" — she slapped me. Lightly, but to ...

    • Mauerfall: people still have the power

      I never get tired of watching this. No-one is sure of what to do tonight here in Berlin. I suppose just wander around and look for random and true emotion.  The planned actions seem too planned, though I will drop by the mauer-mob project. What might happen if we riot against the banks:   One more crowd pleaser, this from Goodbye Lenin. The mother has been in a coma and missed the fall of the wall and re-unification. Under doctor's ...
