March in Berlin started with signs that spring might be on the way (though it turns out that winter wasn’t ready to hand over the baton) and I enjoyed a beer in the sun by the Spree.
White Trash Fast Food provided a couple of entertaining evenings. First, Blog ‘n’ Burger a gathering of Berlin burger lovers expertly organised by Chris Lietze.
Then, later in the month Rock ‘n’ Roll Bingo. I was even on stage for a tie-break for the final prize of €40 but couldn’t indentify Eminem quickly enough to bag the swag.
I probably had the most surreal experience of my life this month when David Hasselhoff tweeted a link to my Ohrwurm: Looking For Freedom post, urging followers to sign the Save The East Side Gallery petition. The Hoff even came to Berlin to show his support. This KITT like car was at the East Side Gallery on the day.
If this is all news to you have a look at this great video from Luci of In a Berlin Minute, including the Hoff singing Looking For Freedom.
I saw lots of great Street Art, including these pieces by .FRA and Mein Lieber Prost – I just have to find time to post about it all.
I managed to snap a quick photo of this girl in Bowie face paint at the Tram stop at Eberswalder Strasse. For more about Bowie’s association with Berlin have a look at Famous Berliners: David Bowie.
My March round-up ends as it started with booze. This time The Wild East cocktail from Stagger Lee (a great Berlin cocktail bar) – sehr lecker!
