Last week on the boat the power went out and except for a few candles burning we all were in darkness. A silence fell. "Finger weg!" a woman said loudly. Gradually people began to talk again and we started to get accustomed to the dark and could see faces, and the shapes of people passing, and one woman going about trying to startle the men. "Now's your chance," someone said.
Much later when the lights came on, it was blinding, and most people seemed a little irritated by it.

A short concert will begin around 10pm. To hear a sample of her music go to: www.myspace.com/shannoncallahanmusic

On Wednesday Shannon will be accompanied by her father, who by the way is performing in Neuköln on Tuesday (www.matandyvonne.com).

I remember last week speaking with persons from Yemen, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, France, England, Australia, US, Germany, Canada,Brazil, Italy, Bosnia/Denmark, Austria, Greece and Russia. At one point persons from Iraq sat on either side of me and someone said, "Now you're cornered!" To give a better idea of the party, it included persons who had fled from wars, someone from the Bundestag, someone from the disarmament Ministerium, computer science students wearing glasses, persons from the film and music industries, beautiful women, French men, artists and at least two persons overtly in love, possibly four.

3 words spring to mind when attending this abhorrant boat party thing - tin, sardines and tacky. If you turn up late you have to wade though dozens on dozens of young pissed up tossers to get to the bar for a drink. if this supposed to be a better option from CL, having duplicated ideas from other english speaking clubs in Berlin, he/ they can keep it!!..
Jamesm
That's pretty nasty Berlinender. I never thought i'd be defending the boat party but i think it's a good way to meet interesting people and it's not a piss-up from what i've seen. So any new people should not be discouraged by these remarks.
berlinender
Well, I never thought Id see a response, but fair play fella for that, even if it is 4 days after I posted. Just as your entitled to your opinions, I am entitled to mine. I have been here in Berlin for a while now and many people have agreed with me -tell me, why is it you feel you would never be 'defending the boat party' if you didnt have doubts about it yourself...???

Last week was a good night for speaking in French, Italian and Spanish as well as German. I remember next to me a Mexican girl speaking in Russian to a guy from Moscow, and everyone asking, Why does she know Russian? (The unspoken sentiment being: Spy.) The French were over in a corner by then; one could hear them. Some Italians, a few couples, Phd students and about twenty people I didn't speak to rounded out the party.

Last week a pleasantness balanced only by the hordes of mosquitos which hovered and died near the lights and didn't appear to bite. Warmth and water-air and sunset over the river and the lights on the bridge. People were meeting and liking one another and you couldn't blame them. From the usual next-day trash in my head I remembered:
"That girl is beautiful!"
"You have sweet blood."
"She met most of her friends on the boat."

Ode to the Spree

At sunset some women bragged
That mosquitos were biting them.
The sun disappeared over there
Behind that brick building against the river.
The sky was small and pink and in that
Light lip gloss tends to shimmer,
Before it got dark.
You smelt the water two fathoms
Deep, green, resinous,
Moving past like cattle.
And we on the lighted surface and leaning against the rail.
