Neutrinos in Berlin day 4

We woke, we spoke, we discovered a way of working. Not hiring a derelict- crumble- chic venue, to lead Berliners around familiar territory, feeding them their own cultural references back. If we want to meet people, make connections with this city, we must invite them over, to talk, to share food, to share stories, to play music. Lets leave behind the crumbling spaces and sit face to face. We are thinking the images in the book could become graffiti. I remember asking Luke Emery the etiquette of graffiti before we came to Berlin to go Butchering in 2008, what is illegal? Dos and don'ts. Went to Motto books sold Alexis the owner a book... We love his shop a lot. Talking of dos and don'ts Sal and I visited a photomat booth, very nice, 2€ for arty black n white pics, installed by two French artists.... Whilst waiting for the pics 4 huge lads in basketball type gear came over, "to chat " boxed us in, as we had a fence either side if us, no good escape. Sal chatted about London, yeah their cousin lived in SE 17, Sal said oh, Wimbledon.... Sniggering at suburbia... I was negotiating our escape... Which in fact was easy just slip past em, but hadn't felt threatened like that before in a long while.... Grrrr Tonight we will meet friends from Norwich and Berlin, introduce them to each other and we will go and watch Luke Abbott and Dan Tombs at a club in Kreuzberg. Yar!
