B2M

Berlin, Munich

IMG_20140801_110230Today, I changed the license plates of my old and new Hyundai from Berlin plates to Munich plates. I had to destroy the  Berlin Bear seal on my old plates myself. An emotionally moving moment, which the Bavarian clerk did not fully grasp. She tried to calm me down by offering me the Münchner Kindl as substitute, but as you can see, she failed to know their own seals. It ended up to be the lesser coat of arms of Bavaria. Well … in her defence, the Kindl ended up sitting in one of the papers I got , but still.

In the end, I have to say that I was quite impressed by the efficiency of my visit at the authorities. Despite the waiting time (57 people in front of us and today no advantage in bringing the your little son), the whole procedure, including office work, payments and pressing/printing the new plates only took 20 minutes. The fact that we jumped on the wrong train afterwards, did probably cost me more time after all.

Excitement

LMU, Munich

… well … at least a little bit of entertainment.
I was volunteered to call 112, smash the window and hit the fire alarm button at the institute today … yeah :)

Musical welcome to Munich

Munich, Music

After about a month in town I finally had my musical welcome … Laurent Garnier was playing at Rote Sonne yesterday night!

Business as usual (in the good way), it was a loud night, it was a long night, it was a great night. Though in fact he ‘only’ played for about four hours this time. Dunno what got into him ;) It’s just particularly funny as the location (which was quite nice btw.) announced the gig with, amongst other, the following quote: “Selten endet ein Set von ihm vor sechs Stunden”. Meaning that, rarely one of his sets is shorter than six hours!? In his defence, the club was already quite empty when he stopped around six in the morning.

Anyways, it was good to see that he would at least show up in Munich (not necessarily famous for electronic music).

As said, the location, Rote Sonne, was quite decent. Sensible sound, the usual amount of annoying I-need-to stand-still-on-the-dance-floor-with-my-drink-in-my-hand, I-need-to-score-tonight and we-need-to-dance-in-a-circle people, but around four in the morning most of that sorted itself out.

It f****ed up my Saturday morning, but I am happy :)

Time to move … and sponsor …

Copenhagen, Denmark, Family & Friends, Germany, Munich

Time to move has been my motto for the past couple of weeks and will most likely continue to be so for a few more weeks to come. Most things are in fact already arranged for and just need to be done now … though the latter is usually the harder part.

Anyways, tomorrow will be my last day in Copenhagen! At least for as long as I am currently planing ahead.
Btw. thanks to everyone helping us with the move!

As for our previous two relocations and as kind of an evolving tradition, we are currently running another round of furniture sponsoring for our new apartment. So please consider becoming a sponsor to help us sustain a nice home for our stuff ;)

You can find all the details on my dedicated sponsoring page.
