For those of you who have a passion for both the great unknown and Mother Asia (I mean, who doesn’t), there’s an upcoming party you wouldn’t want to miss in the Import/Export on Goethestrasse, and I’m here to make sure you won’t; so let me start by just telling you a few things about what you’ll hear and most probably dance to on Friday, September the 23rd.

Irina war wieder für uns in der Unterfahrt: Auf der Bühne trompetet der legendäre Truffaz.
These days it’s quite unusual to experience music that is universally perceived as legendary in the comfort of your favorite (jazz) bar. ..weiterlesen

So last night I went to eagerly check out a new act (unknown to me and probably also to the local jazz aficionados) and I have to say I had a truly great time. The host of the concert(s) was the Unterfahrt jazz club on Einsteinstr. 42, by far the jazziest venue I’ve ever visited. ..weiterlesen

Last week I couldn’t help notice a very minimalist but compelling viral campaign, (fake “CAT MISSING” kind of ads) posted all over the available lampposts of Munich. The ad featured the déjà-famous still from Daniel Nocke’s animated short “12 Jahre” (the bulldog lady who is being dumped for a poodle, if you don’t know it, click) and, as a reward, it gave away invitations to an evening of Film und Fest in one of the BMW showrooms. ..weiterlesen

Do you know that feeling you have when you discover something you have lost a long time ago, or find money or a piece of jewelry on the street?

Der Blick auf München von außen – oder: zany rants of a non-Münchner Mädchen.
I’m really looking forward to seeing some Hamburgers pointing their finger at Munich going like ‘who’s a Fischkopf now huh?’

The bar on the Erdgeschoss was almost finished, the workers looked tired, the artists were nowhere to be found; there was rubble and empty bottles everywhere and from time to time someone showed up at the improvised reception desk to get a 3-day pass or maybe a press kit.

Der wöchentliche Blick auf München von außen – oder: a weekly rant of a non-Münchner Mädchen.
