Although we felt the Volksbuehne was a promotion too, we really liked the informality and special atmosphere of Monarch, so I hope they will play there again some time. LOL at the notion of the band being my Gefolge - eher umgekehrt, aber danke!<br /><br />Ooh yes, that Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-34502483426448296112016-12-29T00:32:29.491+00:002016-12-29T00:32:29.491+00:00Hi Undina,

Based on when I woke up, there was just forty minutes to get into town in a taxi and orientate ourselves at the railway station - including my getting ready. So I was ashamed of nearly making us miss our train, basically.

Pfft! ;)<br />I have an important question though, not related to your trip: which Agatha Christie were you watching?

With the Volksbühne you and your Gefolge has really been promoted to the first league (but I like the Monarch as well) of music business. (Your role must be that the band is your Gefolge not the other way round…)<br />I enjoyed reading your roundup very much – and we have the same taste in choclate, that Ritter Sport Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-65897979532230196842016-12-28T18:19:15.790+00:002016-12-28T18:19:15.790+00:00Hi Sabine,

It and Berlin are my two favourite cities. <br /><br />Loved the story about your photoshoot on the roof of the Volksbuehne! How many people reading could say the same? ;) I would certainly be anxious if I was that high up, hehe.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-3042778163594957122016-12-28T18:15:35.710+00:002016-12-28T18:15:35.710+00:00Hi Tara,

You know, a bit indulgent - it's hard to explain.<br /><br />Glad you liked the nativity scene - it really amused me, I must say.

I love the Volksbuehne building, and have fond memories of chain smoking anxiously during a photo shooting on its roof, just behind the OST sign.
