Copenhagen, Oh Copenhagen, you are the cultural capital of north-western Europe, if you exclude a few other big cities in the area!
Things are good in the city that must someday get tired from never sleeping! I’ve had my first classes and it truly feels good to observe my brain starting, slowly, to absorb knowledge after two years away from educational institutions!
On a very different note:
A lot of my friends are doing really cool cultural stuff at the moment (certainly not a reflection of my own capabilities). I thought I’d give them some free adds here:
Benny is in a band called Waking Life. They recently won a big ‘talent competition’ in Denmark, and I think they’re awesome! Check them out
Søren is a painter (and a lot more). I have one of his first master pieces in my bedroom (in CPH, that is, so Elly’s bed room for now, really) and am expecting it to make me into a milionaire one day. probably not until Søren dies… See his works here
Thomas, as Benny, is a skilled drummer and can bang faster than any other dude in town. His band is called Mia Mirror and they are releasing something soon. It’s indie; it’s noisy; it’s cool!
Laura is arranging (managing?) a tremendous project involving a wide variety of people from CPH. But most importantly, it involves a wide variety of music. It will all end up in a biiiiig koncert (that everyone in CPH must attend) and a film (which my friend Jonas is shooting). I believe one can go to the rehersals in ‘Huset’ on Magstræde (Oh, KBH I miss you already). See more here
Ok, that’s it. I actually do have a couple more friends who do cool, cultural stuff, or who have cool (sometimes also cultural) blogs, but they haven’t given me permission to ‘publicize’ them yet. So keep tuning in- they might be up soon.
Keep it rockin’
