since i perpetually complain about the bad weather in hamburg, it’d be fair to firstly mention that this spring weather hasn't been so bad, that is less rain than usual.

highlights of this spring, chronologically...

foo fighters released their f***ing absolutely

amazing fantastic wicked new album

‘wasting light’. we actually rarely go to the

movies but we made a kind of exception on

april 7th for their film ‘back and forth’ plus

pre-release cinema concert. on april 9th

‘wasting light’ was available as pre-order

on iTunes – i cannot get enough of it, it’s killer!

shocking sad news just before easter: a sack-of-shit of acompanythatshouldnotbenamedhere decided to trample on a cool open source project – originally the product developed by the company where armin and i met...

end of may we went back in merano – lasting part

of karin’s inheritance, she knew we would love it.

we went hiking in the mountains, breathing the

pure air and the scent of thousand wild flowers,

and we got terrible sore leg muscles.

btw: you may wonder why i’m the one who is

always (yes, **always**, pay attention to details in

previous albums) carrying the backpack. the

reason for this is the deal i have with armin: as a

matter of principle, i carry the backpack and he

paddles when we go canoeing (i hate paddle)...

too bad for myself that we never go canoeing.

on june 7th, the

rechargeable battery

of my 17-inch mbp

bloated and blew up

– to hot in hamburg?!!

our good aussie friend simon made a

short visit in hamburg, it was great to

see him again after 3 year, he didn’t

change a whit.

and last be not least – to come full circle with the

first happening mentioned in this article – the big

day i’ve been looking for since january 24th finally

arrived, i couldn’t wait anymore and it was, oh my

god!, it was just AWESOME. on june 18th we

went with our friends eike and anne to berlin

to see and hear the foo fighters playing open air

at the wuhlheide. it was fantastic, incredibly fun,

loud, rock music at its best, an unforgettable

moment with the best band on earth. and while

the weather was just shitty crapy rainy in berlin

during the whole week-end, the sun was shining

over the venue from the very beginning of the

concert until the end of the night.

that’s the foo magic effect.
