Great evening yesterday at the Mixology Birthday Party, got home quite late. Tonite are the Mixology Bar Awards 2012; I’ll be at the Amano Hotel Embassy thing to watch the awards ceremony (which takes places in the Ritz-Carlton on Potsdamer Platz) live on screen. Looking forward to seeing who wins best bar of the year!
Off-Topic: 10 Jahre Mixology!
This has nothing to do with any of my freelance projects but I’m dead excited anyway: On Sunday evening one of my favourite trade magazines ever – Mixology! – is celebrating its 10 year anniversary at the newly opened Rocco & Sanny Bar on Friedrichstrasse.
I’m on the guest list (hooray!) since I’m a subscriber….! Mixology is the biggest German trade mag about the cocktail, bartending and spirits industry in Germany, check it out: Mixology website.

Globe-M: Arts house The Wye in Kreuzberg – article
The Wye (www.thewye.de) is a very cool international arts house which opened on Skalitzer Strasse in Kreuzberg; if you’re in the neighbourhood go and check it out! I also suggest you visit Konzept 86, a great fashion store which is located on the ground floor of The Wye. It made a wonderful Mintel Cityscape this summer (Konzept 86). And here is the globe-M article about The Wye: Gleisdreieck der Kunst.
In a few days I’ll publish a brief interview with The Wye’s founder Leah Stuhltrager!

Globe-M: “Geschlossene Gesellschaft”, photography exhibition in Berlinische Galerie – article
Next week is going to be hectic! On 4th October the new photography exhibition at Berlinische Galerie museum opens: “Geschlossene Gesellschaft” – social and artsy photography in the German Democratic Republic 1949 to 1989. The exhibition features some 250 pictures by 34 photographers. I know next to nothing about GDR photography so this should be interesting. The exhibition starts at 7pm, free entry on the first night, check it out: Berlinische Galerie.
And here is the globe-M article: Geschlossene Gesellschaft.

Globe-M: Spanish artist duo PSJM – article
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Spanish artist duo PSJM; they are originally from Spain but live and work right here in Berlin. They are very international artists though, exhibitions all over the place. I liked their artwork (and they are also nice people!), go check them out: www.psjm.es
And here is my article on globe-M (as always: German only!): Das Kapital der Kunst.

Industry events: The Makeup Show Europe 2012 and Natural Cosmetics Conference 2012
I love September! Now the industry events and trade shows are starting up again and I have two exciting events lined up for the second half of the month: The Makeup Show Europe which takes place for the second time in Berlin (22nd/23rd September at The Station near Gleisdreieck subway station). I went last year and had a fab time so I’m really looking forward to this year’s show: The Makeup Show Europe 2012.
And just a week later (25th/26th September) the Natural Cosmetics Industry Congress will take place – Naturkosmetik Branchenkongress. Last year’s Branchenkongress was great and the programme for this year’s event looks very promising too.
