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 […] Rainbows abound at CSD Saturday was CSD / Gay Pride / in Berlin. One of my work colleagues joined me for the parade; we got there maybe 15-20 minutes too late to get the perfect seats, but it was good enough and as the parade went by, I got claim the spot I actually […] This coming Saturday is Christopher Street Day in Berlin (for those lacking context: Pride, with the German word for Pride being “Christopher Street Day”) – and while I’m not hugely into attending CSD events (too misanthropic ; plus I’ve never really liked being in huge crowds), I’ll probably watch some part of the parade and […] The start of the CSD Parade feautred flags from around the world, with rainbow flags added. a boy — he’s got a metal chain attached and his owner is behind him. Both were having a great time. Shoe switch — She couldn’t take the heels any longer, so she switch with a […] …and with no air conditioning, per usual. June has, to be blunt, hotted up nicely. With temperatures soaring above 30°C daily since Saturday, my ice cream sorbet consumption has soared. This past weekend was a three-day weekend in Berlin (and, I suspect, most of Germany). 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 […] I won’t try to justify it – but instead of watching this year’s Christopher Street Days Parade (the mainstream one) go through Berlin, I bought a ticket and jumped onboard the Official Lady Gaga Truck. The weather was optimal – it never rained, but it never got excessively hot, so there wasn’t a problem with […] |
