America in Berlin.
So, I go to Sleater-Kinney last night at Maria at I would say that easily 2 out of every 3 people were native English-speakers, probably expats coming to see one of their favorite stateside bands. I chatted briefly with someone from DC while waiting for the band and I heard lots of English in the foyer. I felt so stupid. There was a period of total quiet between songs, a quiet that guitarist Carrie Brownstein even had to remark about, and that would have been the perfect moment to shout what I shout at every concert: "Janet Weiss is the hottest drummer ever!" I didn't even think about at that moment; I had earlier and I certainly had later, but there was never another quiet moment in which to shout anything. Alas.
I have to write papers today, and prepare a presentation. Tonight a bit of shopping with Francesco, tomorrow more writing (I suppose), and perhaps a night out sometime. I'm bored with dancing; I'd rather just see more live shows.
Yep, that's it. Check out one of those crazy bloggers who post every ten minutes about five paragraphs. Read the blogs of my friends (except those in Finnish and German, unless of course you understand those languages), they're more entertaining!
