Ah, Berlin! Never been, wish I had. The closest I've gotten is a club in Chicago, famous for its bent sort of clientele and aesthetic. I'm not even sure it's still there, but I'd imagine it is.
Another book, Greg? Good gods! I just finished "Cabin at the End of the World," which turned out for me to be a shitty book -- a plodding, purposeless romp that was just MEAN. I don't have high hopes for the movie and will wait for streaming. Somewhere in there I watched "Active Measures," which I thought I'd seen, and hadn't! I'm sure the right sees it (if they watched it at all) as Dinesh D'Souza level conspiracy nonsense, like "2000 Jackasses," but it actually features interviews with REAL people you've heard of. Brilliant film! To keep my sanity, I switch off between fiction (Cabin, ugh!) and non-fiction, so now I'm reading Tim Miller's "Why We Did It," which would seem to be taking the mask off the Republicans (and actually everyone in the world of campaign mechanics) and drilling down into why they have done what they've done. Tim is a very good writer and I find myself going back to read during the day more than I usually do.
And here I am doing a book blog instead of working. WTF? Can't wait for tonight's Five 8! See you then!
I loved his advice to Dems about messaging. I think he is spot on for why election results don't align with the high percentage of Americans who want the same things for the country. We must fix that!
Thanks, Greg. Have fun in Berlin!
As Randy Rainbow described Trump:
A very stable genie-ass
With a very tiny peni-ass.

Viel Spaß in Berlin.

A fantastic Five/8 with Billy Ray last night.
