Thanks to a wellknown uneasy airline i got stuck in Copenhagen ...
BUT yes, finally it turned out to be good decision
(... made by this dork at the airport counter, ha!)
After spending a night in a japanese-style capsule-sized
micro-room at Mission Hostellette Nebu
and a great lazy family-sunday with local friends
I decided to take the night-train back to Berlin (via Malmoe).
SKOL!

Kan du tale lidt langsommere, tak?

The Nürburgring, known as simply "the Ring" by enthusiasts, is the name of a famous motorsport race track in Nürburg, Germany, built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel, which is about 70 kilometres south of Cologne, 100 kilometres northwest of Mainz, and 120 kilometres northwest of Frankfurt. Originally, the track featured four track configurations: the 28.265 kilometres (17.563 miles) long Gesamtstrecke ("Whole Course"), which in turn consisted of the 22.810 km Nordschleife ("Northern Loop"), and the 7.747 km Südschleife ("Southern Loop").

There also was a 2.281 km warm-up loop called Zielschleife ("Finish Loop") or better known as Betonschleife, around the pit area.[1] Between 1982 and 1983 the start-finish area was demolished to create a new GP-Strecke, and this is currently used for all major and international racing events. However, the Nordschleife is still in use; nicknamed The Green Hell by Jackie Stewart, it is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous and most demanding purpose-built race track in the world.

Talking about hotels … this is an actual live entry …
... live and direct from the Ibiza Rocks Hotel Opening in San Antonio.



Why I went there? Because our favorite partner in crime eg. ink Mr Inkadelic himself opened his second branch (aka the fastfood outlet) in this disneyworld-styled rock’n’roll bunker…
First impression at the door: high security. Obviously knowing the british drinking manners, a massive black-dressed security task-force is watching every step from the entrance to the open-air stage … drinks are served in plastic cups (the crowd won’ t deserve it better)and the whole setting’s way too clean. Is this rock’n’roll? Am I too old? Did I miss the transition from dirty deeds to x-box guitar heros?
Well, I just arrived … maybe too early for the real sex’n’drugs & rock’n’roll ambience I was expecting.

Anyway, I gotta go now. Leave the public terminals … Backstage-drinks with Mick’n’Jade are on the schedule.

The unlike Co-Pub had an ilegal? opportunity for on-site stealth check.

Ex-East German Communist Party HQ is about to become the new Berlin Posh Club.
To be opened in spring 2009.
The hulking Bauhaus structure in Prenzlauer Berg – soon to be the newest incarnation from our friends at Soho House – was originally abused by Nazi officials to coordinate Hitler Jugend. After World War II, the Communist Party moved in, making the building their own HQ and giving it the charmingly Orwellian name ‘House of Unity’.
Soho House founder Nick Jones intends to convert the place into a stylish castle for Euro elites, complete with trademark SH rooftop pool and a 42-seat cinema. So much thrilling history to relish while enjoying a fine cocktail in the lounge …
and how about historic karma issues?

We´ll have an eye on the further construction stages and will partner with Soho House for pre-launch events. Stay tuned on blog.unlike and unlike events for upcoming gossip and news …

While parts of the crew are researching Ibiza, our Shanghai Editor Wee Ling Soh is teaching martial arts to our friend-in-crime – Berlin based, but upcoming international Superstar Hugo Capablanca of Discos Capablanca Female Pressure, yeah.

Ed Unlike on a research mission again – this time Ibiza. Pre-seasonal calmness. Rainy clouds. Flowering prickly pears. Everybody´s preparing for the upcoming Season Opening.



In case you need some quality inkwork before the big party, Neal is the man. Located in the heart of Ibiza Downtown, right above the old marketplace, Inkadelic studios open a new branch: Ibiza Rocks Hotel (starting May 31 2008).
... Soon to be featured on ibiza.unlike.net.

Custom made. Individual handwork wherever you look. Some of the 30 rooms are hard to handle, some are rather tame. Special instructions accompany your room key. This is truly a new accommodation experience.

Welcome Darryl to our l’équipe éditorial … who from now on will cover the colorful streetscene in Mitte and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Have a look: SS Recap #1

Together with the engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, the designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and the body-experts of Bertone, Renzo Rivolta began developing the Iso Rivolta IR 300 (presented on the Torino Show of 1962), an elegant 2 + 2 Coupé with well-balanced technical components and outstanding driving performance:
the 5.4 L V8 Chevrolet Small-Block engine came from General Motors in Detroit, the transmission, too, axles (de Dion) and braking system (4 disc brakes!) came from the large Jaguars of the time. (...) After the sudden death of Renzo Rivolta, his son Piero became the director of Iso Rivolta in 1966 (aged only 25 then). Under his leadership, Iso built the limousine Fidia, “the fastest four seats on wheels” (Advertisement, 1967) with body by Ghia, the Grifo 7 litri (with the GM V8 7 L marine engine) and the 2 + 2 fastback Coupé Lele (1970) with body designed by Bertone, intended as the successor to the IR 300.
Iso Rivolta went bankrupt in 1974, only 1.700 Iso Gran Turismos had been built in those ten years.



Lucky enough to bump into a rare Rivolta in sleepy Vienna, now I am sure:
need a new ride …
