will be there

I just noticed there are not too many flights from Paris to Germany over Easter... cheapest way to get back is HLX (Paris - Hannover) but they do start pretty early in the morning (8:40 a.m. on April 15th).

I just booked a flight in the evening of April 15th:
easyjet (Paris - Dortmund), flight goes 7:50 p.m. A ticket from Dortmund to Hamburg by Deutsche Bahn (train) is approx. 55,- EUR. Dortmund - Hamburg takes approx. 2,5 h. So I will stay in Dortmund for the night and go to Hamburg the next day.

That's not as comfortable as direct fligth from Paris to Hamburg by Air France but much cheaper...

never been in Hamburg
wish to correct this mistake (together with Sisters) but after wasting money and free days (actually so-called 'winter holiday' should be only one week) I'm afraid I can't be there

Well there's usually fnck all else to do on Easter Sunday.

rituals of another religion?

just booked my hotel:

ETAP HOTEL Hamburg St. Pauli
Tel : (+49) 040 31 76 56 20
Simon-von-Utrecht-Strasse 64
D-20359 HAMBURG
Deutschland

Simon-von-Utrecht-Str. is pretty close to the venue and pretty close the to the Reeperbahn either.

Cool, Etap in st Pauli...
Just booked that too
YESSS!!

I'll be there too, coming from Cologne on the day before...meeting some friends at Hamburg. I can ask for some space to sleep?

Anyone knows when the tickets will be available for us outside Germany (Eventim? Kartenhaus?). FKP Scorpio only sell within Germany.

Got my tickets.. and the flight is paid.
So, meet you all at ETAP St. Pauli then.


Tickets available from here as well. It seems cheaper for us outside Germany.

Just wanted to say that I'll be there too, if anybody's interested in meeting me.

Sure! Just listen carefully after a group of non-german speaking drunk swedes and you'll find us somewhere at Reeperbahn.

FC St. Pauli will be playing one day before

auswärts?

and that would be?

I will grace the city/ the band with my lovely presence.

See you around.

Hotel? Bloody hell, that's right, now I need a hotel too... Did I say I lost control again and booked a Hamburg gig ticket?

I will spend some days in Hamburg.
I would appreciate any recommendation or source for visiting:

clubs, record shops, restaurants????ç

thanx in advance

For record shops check out the area called "Schanzenviertel" (the place where Andreas Bruhn used to live and maybe is still living). Underground/tram: "Sternschanze". There are also some good pubs around. I like the place, at least there are by far not as many tourists as around the Reeperbahn.

For meeting up before / having a drink (or two or ten) after the gig some pub not too far away from the venue would be good though.

Other fine places in Hamburg:
Visiting the harbour is always interesting and taking a walk at the river Elbe around Övelgönne is very nice either.

If you like paintings the "Kunsthalle" is an option - especially if you like Caspar David Friedrich. They got a pretty good collection and seeing these paintings in original is much more impressive than in a book. The Kunsthalle is pretty close to the main rail station (Hauptbahnhof).

Come on vicus, you can't be serious. that's the most boring anorak thing to do in Hamburg. I was standing once in a queue to look at it, but eventually got bored before it was my turn.

who likes small trains anyway?

Who doesn't? Or big trains. Or in fact most machines. In fact, I'm still waiting for the update

someone who lives in Hamburg said: be sure everything will be closed, it's Eastern

That's correct. If you want to go shopping you have to wait until Tuesday.
