Munich, Music

PK-7

Berlin Calling – yesterday, I went to see the opening concert of Paul Kalkbrenner‘s 2016 tour in Munich.

Once you accept the fact that it’s a well planned concert more than a live set in a club, which it usually is these days with him, it was actually quite nice. There were not too many surprises: he played his classics and stuff from the new album (where my preference lies on the classics). Here and there he could have given it a bit more drive, but you could call it a fair mixture. In my opinion, the first encore was the best part/track of the night (which unfortunately started 30 minutes late). The location (Zenith, Munich) was nice, though the organisation (especially the coat check) could certainly improve a bit. All in all, it was a good concert and a nice evening, but it could have rocked (not sure that’s the word) a bit more …
Check out his new album.

A book, two bottles of wine and my name on Amazon

Today, I received this very nice box with two copies of the book “GoBD und Big Data: Neue Herausforderungen für die digitale Datenanalyse”, two bottles of wine and a kind letter from the Deggendorfer Forum zur digitalen Datenanalyse e.V., to celebrate the publication of the proceedings for the annual meeting I went to end of June.

It’s also a celebration of my first book as an author on Amazon :)

Thanks a lot to Prof. Georg Herde and the DFDDA e.V. for inviting me and of course for the gift box :)

Oktoberfest

Germany, Munich

Wiesn

O’zapft is – The Oktoberfest has started! It’s been quite some time since I’ve been at the Oktoberfest. But living in Munich now, I guess it’s kind of an obligation to go at least once. Today’s the day … and it was … loud, expensive, crowded, dirty … well Oktoberfest.
