[microsound] Transmediale 05

[peewee <peewee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i was playing last year too (as every kid on speed) and also played music as dj
it was great 
berlin is a beautiful place and also maria is good place for gigs
10 days concerts with all acts and djs that means something on the scene today
and if u are there dont worry about other concerts partyes and happenings
u can for sure find some flyers in maria or in music stores so u will find out whats happening
last year in same period was berlin movie festival (probably this year too)
other partyes and concerts all the time
and of course the transmediale part of the festival with lectures, instalations...
there r also many music stores so i was spending my day time in search for them and records shoping 
there r many nice people so youll have fun, talk and of course drinking 
u can take the hotel that is right across the street from the door of maria which means 10 meters
youll be bussy and itll be fun
hope to c ya there
