As I've said elsewhere, I just lean back and wait until they play right in front of my door.

Wooha.

who's coming?

pikkrong · 09 Feb 2006, 21:21

bloody hell, I love the city!
but not sure if I have enough Geld to buy something for essen after Amerika

Christian · 09 Feb 2006, 21:24

Not quite sure if I can make it to Berlin (depends on my boss & the situation at work) but when you come to Berlin and I am there either I will buy you some Doener or Curry-Pommes rot/weiÃŸ, pikkrong.

Anybody else on the list who is going to see Bauhaus in Berlin tomorrow?

Well, they aren't on sale yet as far as I know.

Nice with a gig where I can take a few minutes walk and hop on the bus 104 which will take me directly to Columbiahalle

Delilah · 11 Feb 2006, 16:52

I will do some deathpunk tourism - Turbojugend Asstra days 20-22.04 then Berlin then Koln! So see you there!!!

Hope they will be not sold out in a month (when I have to be away from the Internet).

The glittering industrial groove machine is running out of glossy paper it seems.

They're sparingly advertised over here like this:

I'm planning on coming to this one, but have no clue of the layout of Berlin. Can anyone here point me in the direction of any cheap hotels that are convenient for the venue or the station? Any help gratefully received.

Christian · 02 Apr 2006, 11:27

There is a youth hostel not too far away from the venue (not close enogh for walking from the hostel to the venue though). I slept there when I saw bauhaus in February:
Berlin - International
Kluckstr. 3
10785 Berlin
Tel: 030 / 2 61 10 97

I'd also suggest these hostels:

http://www.meininger-hostels.de/de/mein ... ostels.php

Walking possible from the ones at Hallesches Ufer and Tempelhofer Ufer, provided you don't have any problems walking something like 2 kilometers - but it's also easy, just walk south on Mehringdamm until you reach Tempelhof airport and turn left on Columbiadamm. (or take the U6 to Platz der LuftbrÃ¼cke)
The third hostel has the bus 104 going nearby which will take you directly to the venue.

Andrew S · 02 Apr 2006, 18:09

Cheers for the tips.

Is anyone else staying at either these hotels or the youth hostel? It would be nice to be among a crowd of us.

the same here. had some problems in real life, now i'm again here and will be there. still haven't decided about the Berlin hostel...

Christian · 09 Apr 2006, 15:55

Youth hostels are a good choice if you travel in a group. Since I will travel on my own to Berlin I just deceided to book a cheap hotel. I booked the usual etap (I should get a quantity discount from them by now...).

The hotel is in the heart of the city close to Potsdamer Platz.

Driving from Potsdamer Platz to the venue by car should not take longer than 15 minutes maximum.

The price for a single room is 45.00 EUR (without breakfast). You should calculate some cash for parking your car either.

ETAP HOTEL Berlin Potsdamer Platz
Anhalter Strasse 6
10963 BERLIN -
Deutschland
Tel : (+49)030 257 67 70

pikkrong · 09 Apr 2006, 16:00

what about coming without a car?

Christian · 09 Apr 2006, 16:09

No problem either. From Anhalter Str. it is a few minutes walk to KochstraÃŸe (close to the former "checkpoint charly" at which you could leave the American sector and enter the russian sector).

From Kochstr. there is an underground directly going to "Platz der LuftbrÃ¼cke" (three stations only) which is not far away from the Columbia Halle.

thanks!

and thanks in advance for everyone for any alternative recommendation

lachert · 18 Apr 2006, 09:21

anyone know...
can i buy tickets right now, on place, somewhere in berlin?
btw. tickets are still available?

pikkrong · 21 Apr 2006, 22:21

Is there anything interesting to do / to go tomorrow (the day before the gig) in Berlin?
I know, it's an interesting city but there are always better plans which I could not understand before it's too late.
Danke!

lachert · 22 Apr 2006, 08:25

i'll be there tommorow (day of the gig) around 1-2 pm, as always without tickets

Christian · 22 Apr 2006, 21:17

As far as I know tickets are still available (at least that was what I heard yesterday).
