best of berliner wald recording

below are some random pics of yesterday night's berliner wald recording show, cd of which will be out end of october this year. starting top left, in the pictures are frank kloetgen, wolf hogekamp, bas boettcher, the notorious oberkreuzberger nasenflötenorchester, R's and M's beers and yaneq in the background, again the nasenflötenorchester and inga, whose name is actually ingolf. also there were gauner, paul (i hope that's the correct link) and a guy who recited a poem on a factory worker sorting through rubbish on an assembly line who misses a declaration of love carved into styrofoam. very original that was. (claudius hagemeister that was, thanks gauner!) the three topics that clearly dominated the evening were sex, work, and berlin. fair enough.

waiting for the show to begin, i wrote kurzer rausch:
