Schokoladen

So we played last night at one of the coolest venues ever: Schokoladen, which used to be a Chocolate factory, and is now a classy little club, dark and smoky, mysterious and funky, with a dash of danger… maybe that’s just the pilsner talking, but a Good time was had by all.  Very authentic, very Berlin, tre kool.  Such a lovely audience, and the clubs treat you SO well... we're sad to be leaving Berlin, but the tour continues!  But first, as an example of how awesome the people in Berlin are, when we walked in the door this afternoon, the woman who booked us for the gig here at Schokoladen asked, “Do you have a place to stay tonight?”  We said, “Wow, yes, thanks for asking!  Yes, we have an apartment, but that's so cool of you to ask!”  And She said, “Okay, have you had dinner?  Can I make you a pizza?”  And we said, “Yeah, we love pizza!  Please do.”  And so, 45 minutes later, She brought out a pizza that defies description.  It was presented in a pizza box of normal depth, but imagine your arms stretched out as wide as they can be, and all varieties of flavors were represented inside on one continuous, remarkably wide pie, from veggie to mixed grill to meat lovers (euro style) to pure cheese… it was amazing.  We can only assume that there was a giant oven in the back somewhere that can accommodate such an exceptionally lengthy pizza.  Delicious.  And the crowd was über-appreciative, we drank all night for free, they paid us well, and everyone was happy.  We also played "The Hitchcock Suite" and Erin's friend from Norway, Heidi, recorded it for us; above are a couple videos of our performance.  We are particularly enamored with the silhouette of the gentleman dancing in the foreground...  It was one of those cozy places with little nooks and crannies everywhere, where you never know what might happen on a Victorian couch when a stranger gives you a little smile… we love you Berlin!  Can't wait to come back!!
