Anyone is free to join. Simply take part in the discussion below and show up to a meeting.

Ah it seems to be going around. Hope everyone is feeling better this weekend - since it's the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall event celebrations.

Has a pretty good list including calendar of events.

That being said, anyone want to set something up for the weekend?

I'd love to do something this weekend - would like to take some pics of the domino's set up for mauerfall. Also of the mauermob on monday evening. I haven't really had a good look over that calendar yet, was there anything else that struck you of interest? Still happy to do some night shots and try out the light painting though

Hi,

Yes, I want to see the domino fall and also the people lined up.

Festival of Freedom
The Festival of Freedom will begin with an open-air concert at Pariser Platz by the Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by Daniel Barenboim. After the concert, the fall of the Berlin Wall will be symbolised by knocking over designed dominos in a live performance, which will include the designers of the Domino Action, politicians, contemporary witnesses and guests from all over the world. The former German Foreign Minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, and the Nobel Peace Laureates Kofi Annan, Muhammad Yunus and Mikhail Gorbachev will be among the guests. The event will be broadcast live in ZDF from 19.25 until 20.15. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend this extraordinary event.

Already on 7 and 8 November, the Domino Gallery made up of around 1000 over-sized dominos will cover a route of around two kilometres from the Reichstagsufer via the Brandenburg Gate to Potsdamer Platz and will create unique images and impressions close to where the Berlin Wall once stood.

http://www.mauerfall09.de/en/calendar.html?event=16&month=&day=&cHash=c6a8dfcea9 - There's a photography exhibition - the one at Max Lieberman haus that you mentioned that I'd like to go see as well.

Otherwise, there's the festival without borders that's over by me -

and on the morning of the 9th of November, at 10 AM, the actual commemoration ceremony itself -

(I'm off on the 9th and absolutely will be here.)

** and this will be awesome for photographs - if we can catch them - "living Angels" at the tops of buildings all along the wall on November 9th, between 12 noon and 3pm and 7 pm - for an hour each time.

www.engelueberberlin.de is the official site.

Otherwise - for others who might be interested in LOTS of walking - there's an anniversary walk between the first two crossings - from Bornholmer str to the Brandenburg gate.

thanks thats looking good! How about a walk around the dominos, followed by the exhibition at Max Lieberman Haus on either saturday or sunday - I don't really mind which, the warmest preferably!

And for Monday I'll certainly be at the commemeration ceremony and then it'd be cool to see those angels after.

So Callie, which is better for you - Saturday or Sunday? Sunday looks like fog in the morning, but both are about equal as far as the temperatures /etc goes.

Thanks!

Count me in as well!

Might also be worth checking out the music/audio-visuals/firework display at Glienicker Brücke on the 10th November (Tuesday).

How about tomorrow then - say meet 11:30 at Potsdamer Platz and walk the domino gallery up to Reichstag Ufer, then do the exhibition after?

I hope at least one of the angels wears a black trenchcoat as a nod to Wim Wenders.

I would like to join. But where to meet in the Platz? I get lost in that maze just trying to go to the movies.

tomorrow - say by the old traffic lights.

I'd be ecstatic if Nick Cave was playing there too!

What are old traffic lights? Are they easy to find?

Can I come too...? I'm not much of a photographer, but I really like photography exhibitions.

Sounds great.

The easiest way to say the old traffic light is when you come out of the Potsdamer Platz Train station go toward the Christmas Market - look for the green traffic light/clock. I believe that's the one Callie means - and if the setup of the Christmas market is the same as last year....

is the google map, if you see the green 'S'- I think the old green stop light is kind of in the block down and to the left.....

thats it yes, thanks Rose! The traffic lights are easy to spot, look like this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uL1m6tGB7xo/SnsUsi7YutI/AAAAAAAABEM/l9tYKOBKp9E/s400/potsdamer+platz+traffic+lights.jpg - they are a replica of what were supposedly the first traffic lights in Europe, people would come for a trip out to watch them change colour

Tree do come along, you're very welcome

See everyone at 11:30 am!
