haben zie milch kaffe mit namen? its important to learn these necessary phrases when traveling. berlin. wow, berlin. imagine being tied by very short ropes to 25 artstars, each having an emotional breakdown on a different day, while sleeping on a soggy matress in a squat with no showers, permanently dirty and sweaty (or damp), walking miles a day, with "to go" coffee in dinky thin plastic dixie cups that burn, so burn, the skin. did i go to tresor, the most famous techno club in the world? no. did i go to the medical instruments history museum? no.

did i eat weiner schnitzel and sour kraut? no. but i wouldn't have anyway. everyone worked very very hard and i completely guarentee that this is the best way to travel. we met wonderful, generous people. found most our supplies in the trash. we slept closer to our friends than maybe we would have liked. we got surrounded by a turkish gang! berlin is an outstanding city. it understands art. and the government is only just now considering that warehouses should follow some building codes. there is still time to be free there. the grafetti is incredible.

i did manage to slip away for a few hours one day and buy some records. we all have our addictions. i got everything from trippy hardcore chicks with 50's sci fi samples to beyond beautiful ambient stuff. come to grounded this week so i can play them for you.
