i celebrated easter by seeing black dice at the squat on the river. it was the second time i have seen them play, and they blew my mind once again. i LOVE them! their set this time was less fuzz-distortion and squawks, and more swooning tribal click-bleeps and of course a bass so bad that the crowd was just silently pulsing...the night proceeded in odd ways, we went to an indie-rock karaoke party that bit, so full of lame scenesters and dyed black hair that i was amazed and repulsed, (so unlike last week's insanely wicked karaoke party in yet another squat where nika, raybanned brook and i sung 'the house of the rising sun' and stole the show) so we drowned our disgust in whiskey and jaegermeister and then the boys ate some currywurst and we hit the bars on hamburger berg, drinking semi-free beer as tammo knows about every single bartender in every bar on that strip. they were spinning a bit o' grime at rosi's and so we stayed there for a good while until we got kicked out and just skipped around to all the other weird joints on that mini-street. i'm still awed by how it happened, but after dancing to james brown and pearl jam (i know) while guzzling beer like i really never have before, we emerged on the street to find it was sunny and gorgeous, the magpies were singing and it turned out to be 6:30 am... these crazy endless nights keep happening to me! am loving it...and the best is coming home and drinking green tea in the sun on our balcony in our mutually-confused states, making up stories of my tiny german village in the winter moss of the old flower box that nika has now planted wildflower seeds in and making plans for the rest of the day that end up fading away to afternoon naps and strolls to the river and discussions of hall and oates' lyrics.

i have also been hanging out at the deichtorhallen where sada etc. are setting up jonathan meese's retrospective, called MAMA JOHNNY. have kinda decided to write about him next year during my master's programme and am super excited about it and johnny seems into it. his use of words is totally hilarious and insane and german and i have secretly maybe kinda fallen in love with him. when we have met, only two times before, he shook my hand for maybe four minutes straight while grinning at me in his insane way and crazily enough in some photos he looks a tad like a certain painter some of us know:
