kreuzburg music fesitval

this is a music festival i went to a few weeks ago in kreuzburg with shin and goran with two dots over the "o". we had a really good time but most of the music wasn't so hot. i don't really think people in berlin know anything about music. for instance, this is not pictured, but there was this band billed as a southern rock. i wanted to check them out to see what they think southern rock is. turns out it's heavy metal. the lead singer looked like a fat james hetfield and the bass player looked like bruce dickenson. they were terrible. funny thing is i think they were from america. they all spoke to their soundman in english. now for the shots i've chosen from this afternoon of drinking and eating jerk chicken. first is a lady on stilts. there were 4 or 5 of these walking around trying to get you to go to a play i think. at least i think they were ladies. then you have some drummers drumming. a terrible sunbleached shot of goran with two dots over the "o", shin and me. really just a terrible shot of me. then this aztec ska band. that's right, an aztec ska band. they were pretty good if you like ska. probably the best thing there next to the turkish dancing flute and drum music. i have a good video of that, which i think later i'm going to start a you tube account for my videos. i already have, but i have not put enough on there to tell you the address yet. the last shot is the riot crowd that aparently always show up at 6 and starts protesting something then starts fights and breaks stuff. i think there was over half the berlin police force there. we left before anything happened. we were tired and dehydrated.

random shots

.



yes, i'm fat as hell now. you should see me without the beard. my excuse is you go to bier college in germany for five months and see if you don't gain a few kilos. the first one is a nice picture of my roomate, daniela though. she finally came to one of our brewhouse parties. the second one is from the nicest bier garden in berlin if you ask me. then we have some biscuits that i made for the brewhouse party. they look good, but they really sucked. too doughy. i was really missing biscuits so i got a recipe from mom but it called for self rising flour. they don't have that stuff here. at least i couldn't find any. the last 2 i just threw in for color. i know they are a little fuzzy, but so was i when i took them. just a little.

art, i guess

this crap is from a few weeks ago. maybe a month. it's whenever erica's sister was here, which if your reading this kristin(still could be spelled wrong) your pretty, pretty, pretty......good looking. don't kill me erica just yet. can't help myself with this power of the world pen under my fingers and nobody here to stop me from writting stupid things. anyhow, we ended up going to this sort of multi floor art gallery/bar thing downtown. i didn't much like the art, but it was a cool place and everyone else liked the guys stuff. i though it was a little too much junk cluttered on big canvases. a like the door shot and my favorite is the last shot of a step. probably nobody saw that but me. i already know someone who is going to ask me, " what the hell was that man? "

bike trip around another lake

this are pictures of another lake i found on the northern outskirts of berlin. it's actually very near the tegel airport and very small. really a large pond, but it had some nice beaches. you couldn't go all the way around it though. it was blocked off by police and airport property. there were alot of cool trails on one side of it. seems like you could get lost there were so many connecting trails going everywhere but then you just have to remember you're in berlin and which direction you are from town. this is hard for some people like felipe. he going to tell you all about it on the blog he is going to be starting soon. nothing to really explain about these shots except one of the beach scenes there is a nude guy ( looks just like jack tucker to me. blow it up and see for yourself if you know who that is ) that i didn't know was nude until after i took it. felipe pointed it out to me. i did purposely take a picture of a nude sunbathing girl on another small beach, but you'll have to ask me to see that one personally.
