Howdy folks! Heard this one on the radio just now, had to think of our man Eugen and it occurred to me that unless I'm mistaken, today's his anniversary. 7 years. https://youtu.be/bDyd6oaafOM

Naughty naughty! They didn't even invite me! Like, I'd have said no thanks but still.

You may have noticed that the Bearpit space in Mauerpark is currently (okay maybe today’s too hot, but work with me here) in what could be more or less described as full use on Sundays.
You may have also noticed that there are no solid fences or barriers surrounding the entire area to control the influx and departure of spectators to the steps.
On top of this you may have noticed the absence of a private ten-man security team controlling human traffic and ensuring social distancing both inside and OUTSIDE these non-existent fences.
And you may have noticed that among the various things occurring onstage, outdoor karaoke is not one of them (Jesus, I certainly hope not anyway haha).
I am explicitly forbidden under threat of whopping fines from setting up for karaoke in Mauerpark without the attendant paperwork signed and stamped by City departments. But it appears that nobody else is, which is why I suppose there is still stuff happening there each week in front of big crowds, just without the patrolled fence that I’d be personally required to come up with.
It’s not the first time over the years that I’ve had to point out what I see as bureaucratic absurdities in relation to how and when Bearpit Karaoke gets the all clear, and hey, few people have more sympathy than me for anyone who has to try to negotiate the daily-mutating minefield of rulings and regulations that involve public strategies for battling a pandemic. Here comes the but.
But one rule for me and literally no rules for every other f**ker on the planet who fancies fetching up in Berlin on a Sunday afternoon and pulling a crowd? To a spot I’ve been using since 2009? Thanks. Apparently there are elections next year. Watch this space. X

Die Freunde des Mauerparks sind sich der Geschichte des Ortes bewusst. Die Versammlungsbehörde, die die Demos der KDW für das Pfingstwochenende genehmigt hat, wohl nicht.
Auf dem ehemaligen Todesstreifen, dort wo zu Zeiten der Deutsch-Deutschen Teilung bewaffnete Grenztruppen unterwegs waren, wird es ausgerechnet an Pfingsten ein starkes Polizeiaufgebot geben - mit Polizeihunden und Polizeipferden.
Wir distanzieren uns ausdrücklich von dieser Zweckentfremdung als Kulisse für politische Grabenkämpfe.

Saturday and Sunday. Ungeil.
Im symbolträchtigen Mauerpark sollen am Wochenende gleich zwei „Hygienedemos“ stattfinden. Anwohner und Bezirksamt wollen das verhindern.
KaDeWe? Sure! KDW? Not so much. Seems they want to spout guff in the Pit this weekend. That hurts.
Der #Mauerpark steht für Vielfalt und Toleranz
Wir positionieren uns gegen Rechts, gegen Antisemitismus, gegen Verschwörungsunsinn, gegen Corona-Leugnung

Aloha sports fans! Today isn't really suitable weather-wise for outdoor karaoke, sorry. But hey, if anybody is familiar with a longer held note than the 16-17 second long "da-aa-aa-aay" in this then I want to know about it. Do tell!

Behold Bearpit Karaoke heroes!
When pandemics and crap weather aren't standing in the way, the fine people of Frau Else Mittenmang make the logistical nuts and bolts of Mauerpark shows way more doable for me than they'd otherwise be.
Their existence literally eases the gruntwork involved by a factor of about 1200 - I'd probably cry for an hour every Sunday morning without them. Seriously.
If you're in the area have a think about treating yourself this weekend.
Frau Mittenmang rät: Vorräte anlegen, hamstern und so weiter lässt es sich prima Freitag-Sonntag an ihrem komfortablen, hygienisch einwandfreien Take Away Fenster!

What can I say?
Way things are right now, a Bearpit show in Mauerpark would involve something like fencing off the entire amphitheatre, letting about 12 people in behind the fence to sit on the steps at a respectable distance from each other and, I dunno, parachuting face-masked people in from a continually circling plane to sing?
There'd inevitably be a bit of a hold-up between songs while we unstrapped the parachute and cleared it away. Although maybe we could fire people onto the stage out of a cannon from, I dunno, Spandau? That might prevent delays between songs. Yes! Hm.
Of course we'd also need burly security on the outside of the fence to chase away any huddled gawkers with a big stick or something. Ouch!
And we'd also need city permits, which on a less frivolous note you can believe are happily already literally sorted, and figuratively waiting to explode out of the notional starting blocks so soon as the metaphorical pistol fires. Boom!
You can also believe, on an even less frivolous note, that right now any sort of close gatherings are just bad news all round, and they push the likelihood of close gatherings for all of us just further and further into the future.
Which is to say that, for example, If somebody is using the Mauerpark stage today to draw a crowd in their capacity as musician, dancer, acrobat, juggler, whatever, it's not to get money, or to make other people feel good in these strange times. It's because that somebody is an attention junkie.
When every impulse we have as people is pointing in the other direction, the strongest good signal I can think of sending out to each other on a day like today is a picture in my mind of empty amphitheatre steps.
First day back was going to be today :( but here's Enzo on our first day back last year, and here's to more times like this in the very near future, who knows. X.
Hey don't judge, the term Social Distancing hadn't been invented yet. Not a clairvoyant but first Sunday back should be quite a day out, feel free to put a song choice in the comments! In the meantime use the head :) X
Is there ever a bad time for this? You go, girls!

Even without the magnifying glass that I got as a Christmas present and left behind in Dublin, I can see some familiar heads jumping out at me.
Karaoke performance, at the former death strip, Mauerpark. Berlin. Germany. 10.2019
Totally forgot about this! Case you missed it, nice bit from ZDF earlier in the year about Mauerpark.
Früher Todesstreifen, heute Touristenmagnet und heiß umkämpfte Freifläche. Der Mauerpark in Berlin.
We're everywhere this week! Thanks, CNN. London tomorrow!
This stretch of land in Berlin was once a militarized zone separating East and West Berlin, dotted with watchtowers and guard dogs. Today, it’s a beautiful p...
But don't take my word for it, feel free to go ahead and ask the good people at TIME OUT LONDON y'all! what you should be doing in the English capital on Friday night.
London. Getting AMPED for next week. Your first big night out of the silly season - Friday 6th December, Bearpit Carol-oke! We have tinsel, we have singing (not just Christmassy stuff, but some Christmassy stuff for sure), we have screens, and we also have a ROOF. Get down there. Bring a posse!

Been a while since I gave it socks to some Roland Kaiser on a Saturday night down on Chaussee or Karl Liebknecht. But as we say back home, what's seldom is wonderful. See you soon and Happy Birthday Hafenbar!
Unser alter Partykutter wird heute 52 Jahre alt. Am 27. November 1967 öffneten wir erstmals die große Kajütentür. Seitdem pflügt sich unser Bug durch das wogende Berliner Nachtleben, allen Moden und Strömungen zum Trotze.
Phew! Back from Finland in one piece, just about. Here some pics from the Slush party on Friday. Amphitheatre-style space, roulette format. An absolute blast! Videos to follow!
Worth another look. The full story behind our man Christian's triumph in Oberhausen last week with Bublé!
Year after year i dreamed to sing for once in my life with Michael Bublé. On 06.11.2019 this dream really come true. Come fly with me was the song which brou...
What a week! First up Christian shows Buble how it's done at BUBLE'S OWN CONCERT, and now there's a new singing shop opening in Berlin! Tonight! So if you've ever wondered how appallingly an open air karaoke show host can behave when the tables are turned and he's begging someone to pick him, make a beeline for Flughafenstrasse from 8pm!

You may know Christian from occasional Sundays in Mauerpark. Here he is crooning with Buble last night, what an operator!

All done for the year folks! Last Sunday was the last Sunday. But between now and spring 2020 feel free to book me to come do a party somewhere. Xmas, birthday, singing telegram, whatever. COMING SOON : a comment-section-generated list of things to do in Berlin on a wet Sunday. I'll kick it off with...
Say hi to Scott, a digital nomad from Texas, tugging at the old heartstrings early yesterday. As if our last 2019 show wasn't reason enough to be getting emotional!
As an offering of thanks to the Karaoke gods for returning my stolen gear I was going to sing Bootylicious yesterday. But I chickened out at the last minute. So thanks Omed for stepping in with another feelgood Beyoncé number to appease their ravenous appetiites.
Actually, the coffee can did get whipped, but on the upside Lidl are doing gaffer tape for €2.49 a roll at the moment. Another Bearpit Karaoke miracle!
