Berlin Webweek begins

Berlin web weekThe city is always crowded, especially on weekends but this time there will be internetsters from all over the world coming to Berlin to celebrate the “Berlin Web Week”. Just like on Sonar, many events have gathered around the Web 2.0 Expo taking place next week in Berlin.

Wednesday night, the week started with a little drinkunp organized by the Web 2.0 Expo staff, Lifestream.fm and Mister Wong (thank you Janetti and Jodi!). This morning we had a nice Likemind at Oberholz, PANORAMA3000 and The waving cat had invited people to drink coffee and start the last day of the week smoothly.

This weekend is also Barcamp Berlin where people come together spontaneously to interact – everybody should be involved and take part actively, of course one main subject is the internet, but it also hits science, politics, business. Tonight there is a warm up party at Al Hamra, tomorrow and sunday is the camp and numerous parties and get-togethers.

Dive into more events with some links from Berlin Web Week and Berlin Blase.

Berlin Calling premiere party

The Berlin Calling premiere at Kulturbrauerei rocked. It was packed, people laughed and clapped a lot and the following party at Maria am Ufer took the people on a trip into the world of the movie. Sascha Funke played, Paul Kalkbrenner presented a live set with songs from the movie which are the kind of techno music I love so much: Powerful, massive, yet very longing and soulful. Go watch the movie, now! And here are som impressions from the premiere and the party.
