into-the-wild-party.jpg

The Magic Ponies have a monster trading party. I love the idea of meeting with other toy junkies for trading some of your treasures.
We should have something like that here too!

Gather all of those little critters you’ve been collecting and head over to Magic Pony, where the wild things are! We’re hosting a special night to share your creatures, beasts, monsters and more. If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of some endangered species or have the opportunity to hunt down some rare deals!

In keeping with the Into the Wild theme, we encourage you to bring the following: Monsterism, Cannibal Funfair, BambooZoo, Teddy Troops, Labbits, Dunnys, and anything else that growls, prowls, swims or flies. Strap on your survival pack and join us on May 21st for a journey Into the Wild… if you dare!

We were just out for dinner and found an article about a quite special drink in an old magazine. MeatWater! For that invention they should get the Nobel Prize. That means while eating a pizza you can drink a schnitzel!!!
They even have the Kaiser’s favourite dish in fluid form: Koenigsberger Klopse.

The previous post reminded me of something I forgot to write about: A couple of weeks ago I was at the Arte Lounge, and besides a VERY shitty performance by the Polarkreis18 sissies, there was a trio of really sweet girls from London, The Puppini Sisters.

If you’re ever able to see them live, go there!
