suddenly i go from endless chilling out at the park to being kinda busy, i think the change in weather kicked me into gear or. maybe the rain gets my london head on and tells me i can't just hang out.
but i'm feeling all inspired after hooking up with poetry diva katinka kraft, even though, or especially though, our conversation dropped us down some kind of cafe' vortex (in a very good way). its just one of those days.... its just one of those weeks actually.. suddenly its already tuesday and i'm gearing up for gigs on friday and saturday, and actually using my diary to make sense of what i'm getting up to in the next two weeks. which will hopefully consist of hooking up with fleur from plateau repas, as we just got our collective heads scheming. annnd i'm starting to holler at london because I'm thinking about the Fall. so this is the point in the blog and say
ADD SKINT BUT SEXY AS YO
UR FRIEND...who? who? you may ask. well drop down to my top friends and note that rather fetching doll couple all decked out in their prophylactic best. there's a little content up there now, but v.soon there will be more video, and maybe even some more tracks. add them now while supplies last. all will be explained in good time.
now, back to the weekend. not just one but two gigs for the ladies and gents of berlin, where I journey to where i have never performed before... MehringDamm and NEU KÖLLN.... i'm getting all tingly just thinking about gracing new territory. and to make it all the more exciting, both sets will feature special surprise guests...
so first, friday i've got a fifteen minute set at Kollage which will be filmed so it would be super lovely to have some familiar faces to perform to, especially if you're the type that applaud warmly and loudly. and performers its a good night for you to check out as these guys film all their nights a
ll professional like and then upload them to youtube, and stream them all over the world wide web. so its a great place to perform and walk away with more online presence than you had when you walked in. and now finer to the details..-----------Die Freie Hand KultuRRevue

yisland Cabaret....(here's what they've got to say about the show)
The economy is doomed, earthquakes hit southern Germany and a Swine flu pandemic threatens Civilisation - it must be spring.
And what better way to celebrate than with a cosy evening of free variety entertainment in the leafy streets of Neukölln.
Phoneyisland present a Cabaret with Deutsch and British artistes performing tunes, songs, comedy and poetry in a small, but perfectly formed, venue.A mixed up session with a house band, the Phoneyisland Wurlitzer – and a little Betty Boop thrown in.
Performances from,

and last but not least...
Paula Varjack
Paula's the girl that leaves you at loss for words, maybe because she took yours before you could say them. She ran away from London last year to become a documentary filmmaker, and ended up as a performance poet. She's still not quite sure how that happened. (maybe it was the blue pill??). In any case, as far as her performances are concerned, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to get varjacked
