The last 10 days

The last time was pretty busy and exciting again. On Sunday 25/11 there was Europe's biggest erotic fair in London. Headliner, if you can name it that way, was Dita von Teese, who gave a show that featured me in the first row. Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed. The next days I lost quite some money, fortunately not mine, on some Bund Futures trades. Nevertheless, I was allowed to join some of my colleges on a night out with some of our brokers. Of course, everything was paid by them. We were at a Chinese Restaurant (http://www.hakkasan.com/), probable the best and most expensive I've ever been to (~200 GBP p.p.). We ended up with a bottle of champagne in a strip club in East London. Apparently, all stories about being out with broker are true.

The next day was terrible in the office, but after that I went to see a soccer game, Tottenham Hotspurs vs Aalborg. On Friday and Saturday I was out with some German guys, which are actually quite nice albeit their nationality.....
Friday: Sopranos www.zebrano-bar.com
Saturday: KOKO www.koko.uk.com

....time's passing so fast. its already my last week here in London.

Christian, Lars, Markus, and I

On the 17th of November something special happened. There were some of the greatest rockers ever in town. I talk about the real shit, a guy who owns the second ‘O’ in HOLLYWOOD and who’s connected with Rock as hardly any other. I saw glorious
A L I C E C O O P E R & extremely rockin’ M O T Ö R H E A D in the Wembley Arena. As a bonus Joan Jett heated up the crowd for the thing to come following.

Admittedly, I did not know so many song of Alice Cooper before, and still I just remember 2 songs of the concert, the 2 songs I actually knew already ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ and ‘Poison’. Both fantastic, but the other songs were not really my taste. Anyway the show was great and he is the man!

Motörhead, don’t know what to say about them. Just amazing, hearing the famous ‘We are Motörhead and we play play Rock N Roll’ said by Lemmy with his very weird, kick-your-ass voice was great. And they did what they promised, they played straight rock n fuckin’ roll.

Joan Jett is just as much as a Rock n Roll icon as Motörhead or Alice Cooper. She gave a very nice show and is still in a good shape for her age. I really love love love her songs ‘Bad Reputation’ and ‘I love Rock n Roll’. Besides them, she played some other really good songs which made me thing of getting her new CD.

Here are some short videos I shot during the concert:

I was visited by Carina, Günda, and Biertschi, aka Il Presidento, on weekend 9/10/11 Nov. We did quite some sight-seeing which included Rgent Park, Oxford Street, Liberty's, Camden Market, and Harrods, had quite a lot of beers and Mojitos and spend a half of a night in TigerTiger and another half at a small punk and rock n roll pub near Camden. The pub was fun as they had three bands performing there on saturday night. Anyway, on sunday we enjoyed some traditional british 'sunday' food (Sunday Roast, Fish and Chips, and Sausages with Mash) + beer + soccer in a pub near Liverpool Street before they left again.


There they are, the three mighty
gangsters.

Regent Park

Nice to shop at Liberty's.

Some visistors

Last weekend I was visited by Moni and her boyfriend. We had a bottle of wine with the XXX pushed in somewhere in the street. Like in the good old days. After that we hit the tigertiger which turned out to be great fun again. We drank and danced until the club was closed.

On the following Sunday, Flo and Schaua were in town. After being rebooked on their flight to Bangkok (oh my gosh, I was really envy) and enjoying business class from Vienna to London, they had some spare hours to meet up. We met in A pub in Kensington and had a couple of real tasty beers (and shadies = Radler).

A very similar story with Koe Tom. He changed plains in London on his way from Hong Kong, where he is on exchange, to Vienna. Again, beers and food in a Pub near Victoria Station. For all who forgot, here is his blog: http://koeinhongkong.blogspot.com/

Christiane gave me the kind hint that there's still a picture missing showing the both of us together. Here it is my dear....
