I’ve never worn this hat. This was a giveaway from the BVG – Berlin’s public transit agency – during Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) several years ago. Which year, I cannot recall. The hat folds up tightly and neatly into the yellow bag on the left, along side the whistle in front. I […] I acquired this wristband thingy whilst riding the Lady Gaga truck at Berlin CSD (Pride) 2011. If it weren’t for the fact that I keep it on a shelf that I see out of the corner of my eye, I probably would have tossed this years ago. Its main purpose is to remind me […] This past weekend was CSD Berlin – and I went to the parade, lasting for about 2.5 hours of it – some 40 floats out of the 70+ in the parade. To say it was slow might be insulting to molasses. Regardless, it was fun and, despite my general introversion and need for […] Rainbows abound at CSD Saturday was CSD / Gay Pride / in Berlin.

Celebrating Whit Monday, this was the last legal holiday for […] Yesterday was a fine day for a parade and a fine day for allergies. This does not make for a great combination, at least as far as I am concerned. That said, did go to the Christopher Street Day Parade here in Berlin, lasted for about two hours (of the parade) before my capacity to […] Plug Yourself In. Saturday I headed out to watch the two Christopher Street Day parades that happen in Berlin every year – the “normal” one and the “alternative” one. Wanting to hit up both parades meant that I had to choose strategically and that I never made it to the end party for the […] Today, June 23, 2012, marks the 100th birthday of Alan Turing, a man whose efforts helped break Nazi encryptions, and, consequently, end the war. He was even awarded an OBE for this. There’s no way I could do justice to him in this space. But I do want to focus on the fact that he […] Looking at my calendar, I can only say that the rest of this month is going to be exhausting and that maybe I should start taking naps now, in preparation for the rest of the month. For example, this Saturday I am going to be participating in the Berlin Fotomarathon, and while Snooker in Berlin […] |
