Boat Party and Concert, English-speaking event
Every Wednesday evening in Berlin-Friedrichshain
Two weeks ago we had a really good time on the boat so we are going back this wednsday at 7:30. I hope to see some new faces there...if you don't know where it is, the boat is in Friedrichshain right off Warshauer U and S bonn stop.
See ya soon.
See ya soon.
Sounds cool, and i suggest it as a warm up for anyone who wants to come with us after it to Watergate, pretty cool club with some equally pretty cool djs playing !
I'll be there
I'll be there
I was there two weeks ago and it was a lot of fun! I will def be there, cant wait!
thanks guys. for people who want to read a despcription of the boat party, here it is for this week. bring your friends, ask for me, charles, and see you there!
This Wednesday, Sept. 27, it's worth coming to the party on the ship Eastern Comfort just for the concert. A guitar-violin duo will be performing original and cover songs with a sound that weaves its way into your heart. Concert starts at 10. Come earlier to meet language tandem partners and to mingle in an international crowd. The atmosphere is a that of a private party.
Last week much mixing of languages including French, Spanish, Japanese and Farsi. Oh: And there was dancing.

Someone told me that they now have bands playing at the Wednesday boat party at Warschauer strasse. Anyone know if it is every week, and is it good or very average stuff?
I can't comment on the general quality since my only boat visits were sans musical accompaniment, but I did see an off-the-boat 'English Events' show with two singers that were nice and campfire-esque.
This week (Wed 11.15) promises a guitar-violin duo with songs in English and Russian. Party begins at 7pm with concert at 10pm. The book trade is on too.

Sounds interesting and know exactly where that is. Sounds like a major possibility when I visit Berlin again!
Does this mean the boat leaves at 7PM?
The boat doesnt go anywhere! It just sits on the river!
I had an inkling that that was the case! Anyway, thanks a lot for clarifying!
Is this the boat i read about that is a hotel also?
Yes
So...in case I'm off next Thursday, or work a late shift, I might give the Boat Party a try. Is anyone else planning on attending?
The lovely nights of summer are here, and on the water with the music of a special band the atmosphere is golden. So the party continues this Wednesday (June 20th) on the ship Eastern Comfort--with barbecue in good weather. Mix in the international crowd, find language tandem partners, exercise your languages and enjoy the river. It's easier to meet people and find language partners if you come early--and there's hummus. The party starts 7pm. Entry is one Euro until 8:30pm, after that two Euros (to pay the band).
This week, they're back, the band that makes grown women smile at the floor as if being told intimacies, "Robert Lee & the Frees," with a concert to begin around 9:30. For a sample of their music go to: http://www.myspace.com/robertleefrees
Saturday, June 23 they're playing in the grand finale of the "Berlin Battle of the Bands" and would like your support. The competition with nine other bands is at the club Postbahnhof (outside Ostbahnhof) at Strasse der Pariser Kommune 3-10. You can get a ticket from the band for 5 Euro cheaper (8 instead of 13).

Is anyone going to this?? Is it the kind of thing I can turn up to alone? I'm a bit of a wuss about doing that!
does the boat party go ahead as scheduled if there is rain or lightning? The weather forecast is calling for thunderstorms.
It goes ahead come rain or shine!!
Think I may go next week- just arrived in Berlin and I dont know anyone! Argh! Whats the best way to meet people?
Thursday night are purely Toytowners, where as the Wednesday boat party is a mixture of everyone, German and non German alike. I personally enjoy my Thursday night TT events!
Hey there! Do I have to register somewhere to participate or just get on the boat and yell something like "Hey Toytown-ers!!" ?
It's not really a Toytown thing. Just rock up - I've had a couple of reasonable nights there, but I've heard it can be mixed. Plus, you're better off turning up early before everybody's settled into conversations. Definitely go, though.
Thanks for the tip. I should be able to make it if I get off of work in time. See ya'll there!
Just wanted to say that this is a really excellent event and we had a great time last night. Thanks for being a great host, Charles.

This week's concert is from the duo 'Viva Astral," with their concert of acoustic jazz pop to begin at 10pm.
Last week the boat was full--with about 150 people--and the neighbors across the river had a hard time sleeping. So after 10pm we have to keep the noise down out on the decks. Sound carries over the water, as they say. Tandems being offered in whispering and sign language.
