So, this upcoming weekend it's luckily the second case. Brace yourself!<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />Throughout the weekend:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">OPEN ART STUDIOS:</span> This weekend artists in <b>Westend</b> are <a href="http://www.westendstudios.de/15/index.htm" target="_blank">opening their studios</a>
for visitors. Even if you are a lowbrow, it's incredibly exciting to
sneak into all those secret cellars, backyards and other gems hidden
away from the streets. Make sure to pay a visit to <a href="http://www.positive-propaganda.org/" target="_blank">Positive Propaganda</a>, who are making an incredible job by bringing world-class street art to Munich!<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">BABY FLEA MARKET:</span> If you've got children, you know how quickly they tend to grow and how they end up wearing jackets, shoes or anything else just a couple of months until the things become too small. And you either want to get rid of piles of clothes in your cellar or get something the new season, which will not cost you a fortune. This is why baby flea markets are such a great invention! This weekend there are several taking place. One of them will open its doors today in <b>Lehel, Pfarrsaal St. Anna, 2pm-5pm</b>. They also promise some coffe & cakes.<br />
<br />
Another flea market is on <b>Saturday</b>, and it's taking place in <b>Preysinger Str. 48, Haidhausen</b>. There will be autumn and winter clothes (sizes 50 - 134), toys and books. <b>9am-12pm. (pregnant can come starting from 8.30am)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

(The exhibition itself will be open until 24 January though, so plenty
of time.) If you have seen Wim Wenders' astonishing film "<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Salz_der_Erde_%282014%29" target="_blank">Das Salz der Erde</a>", you will highly enjoy it.<br />

Munich seems to be awakening from the summer hole, and so are we. As our new member of the family is about to turn three months, we are finally finding the strength to look around what's happening in the city (otherwise we'd easily spend the whole day just staring at the little one, it's hard to beat this kind of entertainment at the moment).</div>

This week in Munich is going to be HUGE. Five (!) festivals kick-off, the Frühlingsfest continues with a great program, and there are enough events to get every geeky culture vulture's heart beat faster! Naturally we are especially looking forward to the opening night of the <a href="http://100wordpilgrimage-munich.tumblr.com/">100-Word-Pilgrimage</a> at <a href="http://www.platform-muenchen.de/en/event/100-word-pilgrimage-2/">Platform</a> on Thursday, after weeks of hard work by Anna and her fellow artists and helpers. Come along and say hi! <br />
<br />
<b>All week:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FUNFAIR CONTINUES:</span> The 50th Frühlingsfest is still on. Apart from beer, fried chicken and funfair rides, there are some highlights in the <a href="http://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/event/7816.html#programm">program</a>. Don't miss the musical fireworks on Friday (10PM) and the street artists' competition on Sunday (11AM). <br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><b><br />Monday, 5 May:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FREE CONCERT:</span> The US folk rock trio <a href="http://www.thesweetremains.com/">The Sweet Remains</a> play the <a href="http://www.amerikahaus.de/veranstaltungen/detail/the-sweet-remains/#.U2KTDqKE0Zd">Amerika Haus</a> tonight at 8PM. All three band members are songwriters playing different instruments and used to be solo artists until a chance meeting in 2008. The gig is free, so why not give it a go?<br />
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br />
<b>Wednesday, 7 May</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FESTIVAL I - DOCUMENTARY FILM: </span>The international documentary film festival <a href="http://dok.fest/">DOK.fest</a> kicks off tonight at the HFF and will continue until Wednesday next week. The festival is a must for all film lovers - 135 films in the official selection, specials, retrospectives, open air screenings, a Best-of-Oscar series, a framework programme with concerts and exhibitions - it's just WOW. </div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FESTIVAL II - MUSIC THEATRE: </span>The <a href="http://www.muenchenerbiennale.de/startseite/">Münchner Biennale</a> is another international festival kicking off today. This one should not be missed by fans of classical music, opera and experimental musical theatre. Check out the programme <a href="http://www.muenchenerbiennale.de/programm/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>Thursday, 8 May</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">BIG OPENING NIGHT: </span>It's the big opening night of the <a href="http://100wordpilgrimage-munich.tumblr.com/">100 Word Pilgrimage</a> at <a href="http://www.platform-muenchen.de/">Platform</a>!
Come and see the results of several weeks of hard work and artistic
creativity, meet the wonderful international artist team and enjoy a
live performance by the fantastic 8-string-guitarist <a href="http://www.vynograd.com/">Alexander Vynograd</a>. <span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show">Check out <a href="http://annablumenkranz.blogspot.de/2014/04/100-word-pilgrimage-is-coming-to-munich.html">Anna's recent blog post</a> to learn more about the project, subscribe and share the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/293690847461355/">event on Facebook</a>. The exhibition will run until Monday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">FESTIVAL III </span>- SCI-FI FILM: </span>As a kind of an antipole to the DOK.fest, a new film festival premieres in Munich tonight: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AllueberAll">Munich's first Science Fiction Festival "ALL über ALL"</a>. The festival venue is the <a href="http://www.kim-kino.de/">KiM-Kino</a> in the <a href="http://einstein-kultur.de/">Einstein Kulturzentrum</a>. The programme sounds absolutely amazing: classics such as Georges Melies' "A Journey to the Moon" (1902, with live piano accompaniment) and the director's cut of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" (1985), local productions such as the Bavarian trash sci-fi horror "Zombies from Outer Space" (2012), a Stanislaw Lem Special on Saturday, an afternoon programme for children, interesting guests, talks, drinks and live music. Sounds like a hell of a start - the only downside being that you probably need to speak Germany to fully enjoy it. Check out the full programme <a href="http://einstein-kultur.de/veranstaltung/?ee=1185">here</a>. Dressing up is encouraged, aliens enjoy free entry. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FESTIVAL IV - CONTEMPORARY DANCE: </span>The festivals keep coming. Admittedly, <a href="http://www.muenchner-kammerspiele.de/programm/relations-tanz/">Relations: Tanz</a> is quite a small one. Still, if you are an admirer of contemporary dance theatre, you probably shouldn't miss it. Three different shows will run at <a href="http://www.muenchner-kammerspiele.de/spielstaetten/spiehalle/">Kammerspiele / Spielhalle</a>: <a href="http://www.muenchner-kammerspiele.de/programm/relations-sketches-notebook/">Sketches / Notebook</a> from on 8th, 9th and 10th of May, <a href="http://www.muenchner-kammerspiele.de/programm/relations-non-stop/">Non stop</a> on 14th and 15th of May and finally <a href="http://www.muenchner-kammerspiele.de/programm/for-love/">For love</a> on 18th and 19th of May. Tickets are quite affordable for theatre (19€), especially if you are a student (8€). <br />
<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">FESTIVAL V</span> - LIVE MUSIC:</span> The weekend begins with another festival start, and this one we are quite excited about. The team of <a href="http://hauskonzerte.com/">Hauskonzerte</a> has been pampering us with "Munich's finest live sessions" since 2010, and now they are organising a festival! "Deeper Down" is supposed to be a week full of gigs, arts, table tennis, beer, BBQ and Bill Murray - quite a promise! The list of participating bands and artists is impressive: <span class="userContent"><a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=195036603635" href="https://www.facebook.com/tinyruins">Tiny Ruins</a>, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=46543212331" href="https://www.facebook.com/ianfisherandthemusic">Ian Fisher</a>, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=222540874427323" href="https://www.facebook.com/DianeCluck">Diane Cluck</a>, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=37840056067" href="https://www.facebook.com/leifvollebekk">Leif Vollebekk</a>, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=221569544626951" href="https://www.facebook.com/RosalieUndWanda">Rosalie und Wanda</a>, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=133093853431515" href="https://www.facebook.com/townofsaints">Town of Saints</a>, Muup Mumu and <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=57006767691" href="https://www.facebook.com/deborahsmusic">De'Borah</a>.

<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span><b>Saturday, 10</b><b> May</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FIVE FESTIVALS: </span>Just to make it clear - all of the five festivals described above run through the weekend, and in most cases into the next week. So check out what's on <a href="http://www.dokfest-muenchen.de/DOK_forum_Tage">tonight at DOK.fest</a> (don't miss the free open-air-screenings if weather allows!), <a href="http://www.muenchenerbiennale.de/programm/">Biennale</a>, <a href="http://einstein-kultur.de/veranstaltung/?ee=1185">ALL über ALL</a>, <a href="http://www.muenchner-kammerspiele.de/programm/relations-tanz/">Relations: Tanz</a> and Deeper Down! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">ROCK THE KITCHEN:</span> Here's an alternative to eating out in a restaurant: <a href="http://www.cookasa.com/">Cookasa</a>. Whatasa? Exactly our first thoughts. So, here is the idea: 6-8 people are randomly thrown together. They build three teams, each team being responsible for one dish. They shop, get to a kitchen, where they meet their hosts, and start cooking. The costs for the ingredients are shared, as is the food and the fun. Sounds pretty simple and ingenious. What's more, the ingredients for tonight's <a href="http://www.cookasa.com/de/content/muenchen-kocht-der-mai">big simultaneous Cookasa party</a> in Munich come at no cost at all, thanks to a collaboration with <a href="http://foodsharing.de/">Foodsharing</a>.

Did you have a good week? We certainly hope you did. We feel a little bit guilty that you had to miss out on last week's blog post. It's not like nothing has been going on in Munich, on the contrary! Unfortunately, we both were too busy to write it down. Let's start making up for it straight away!<br />
<br />
<b>All week: </b><span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FUNFAIR I:</span> <a href="http://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/event/7816.html">Frühlingsfest</a>, the spring festival at Theresienwiese, is something like a small sibling of the Oktoberfest. Made from the same ingredients (beer, sausages and funfaire rides), it's smaller in size and considerably less excessive. The focus is also more shifted to Gemütlichkeit and family fun rather than boundless consumption of alcohol. It can still get quite crowded when the weather is fine. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FUNFAIR II: <span style="color: black;">If you choose to go to just one fun fair, our pick would be the <a href="http://www.auerdult.de/">Auer Dult</a>. A combination of fun fair and crafts fair, the "Dult" is a festival with a great relaxed traditional atmosphere, and it's beautifully located at the foot of Mariahilfkirche in Au. Don't miss the small kiosks selling antiques and crafts.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b>Monday, 28 April:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">ENGLISH IMPROV THEATRE:</span> Improv shows in English are rare in Munich, so if you are not native German and would like to have some laughs without straining your brains to get that joke in German - don't miss the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/762037183828701/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular">Bake This</a> show on Monday! Starts at 8pm.<br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday, 29 April</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">MAGIC BULLETS:</span> Have you already seen <a href="http://www.metropoltheater.com/v960/home_spendentool_2.html">"The Black Rider" at the Metropoltheater</a>? If not - you really should! Music and lyrics were written by Tom Waits, and the musical has been brilliantly interpreted by director Jöchen Schölz and the actors at the Metropol theatre. There are still tickets available for the tonight's show, but check out <a href="http://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/event/6680.html">other dates</a> as well if you can't make it tonight. <br />
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br />
<b>Wednesday, 30 April</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">DANCE INTO MAY</span>:</span> The night before the 1st of May holiday in Germany is when you get together with friends and drink and dance all night. In fact, the tradition is so old that some time ago on that same night in Germany you would burn a few witches and dance around the fires. Must have been a lot of fun - that is, if you were not the one who was being burned... Luckily, times have changed, and nowadays witches are quite safe. However, the tradition lives on and the dancing continues. If you can't pick a club, we suggest the <a href="http://www.milla-club.de/?p=3071">Milla</a> in Glockenbach. Trio Infernale will be playing at Milla and the entrance is free. We do not actually know the band, but Milla is a great location often hosting fantastic gigs, so we think it's a safe choice. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">ARTS & COMMERCE:</span></span> Guess we should mention the <a href="http://www.stroke-artfair.com/">Stroke Art Fair</a> that starts today. When we first heard about it last year (it was the fourth Stroke, but we missed the first one and lived in London during the second and the third), we were quite excited: Urban art is certainly underrepresented in Munich, so we thought it was a great gain. Unfortunately, when we visited the fair, we were rather disappointed. It was more a sales market for galleries than an urban art show, and for this, the entrance fee for visitors seemed unfairly high. On the other, there will be some live paintings and a birthday party on Friday. So check out their website and decide for yourselves.<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday, 1 May</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">SURREALIST FILM NIGHT</span>: </span><a href="http://www.muenchner-stadtmuseum.de/film/open-scene.html">"Open Scene" at the Filmmuseum</a> is showing Luis Buñuels surrealist classic "L'age d'or" (1930), followed by "Dreams that money can buy"
(1947) by dadaist artist Hans Richter. The Museum Villa Stuck is currently <a href="http://www.villastuck.de/ausstellungen/2014/sting/index.htm">hosting an exhibition based on Buñuels strongly influential film</a>, so watching it tonight and visiting the exhibition later sounds like a good plan. The curators of the exhibition will be at the Filmmuseum to give an introduction. <br />
<br />
<b>Friday, 2 May</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">YURT OPENING</span>:</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1456398494595806/?ref=3&ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular">Kulturjurte München opens it's doors in Fröttmaning</a> (from 1pm). That is, if a yurt has doors. Anyway - the Kulturjurte seems like a great project, a new space for workshops, discussion and arts exhibitions, organized by great enthusiasts. We are curious and look forward to interesting events. <br />
<br />
<b>Saturday, 3</b><b> May</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">FLEA MARKET:</span> The <a href="http://www.hofflohmaerkte.de/hofflohmarkte___gartenflohmarkte/hofflohmaerkte.html">Hofflohmärkte</a> return! This week you can walk into more than 250(!) courts and gardens in Haidhausen and Bogenhausen, buy useful utensils, useless junk and homemade cakes, and have wonderful chats with the locals. </div>

Here a few ideas to make sure that you do not get bored during the long Easter weekend. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Saturday, 19 April:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">EASTER SHOPPING:</span> With the shops closed on Friday, Sunday and Monday, Saturday is your only chance to stock up supplies. If your fridge is full and you are still in the mood for shopping, you could make a short trip to Ottobrun where the <a href="http://2014.bareso.eu/">Bareso Bistro</a> is organising a Saturday market with local suppliers (10am to 3pm) and special guests like the Gustavo, whose <a href="http://2014.bareso.eu/?events=samstagsmarkt-mit-gustavo-und-seinen-upcycling-unikaten">upcycled earrings, sewing machines and coat pegs</a> look very beautiful. If you want to stay more central, <a href="http://www.markt-der-sinne.de/">Markt der Sinne</a> on Praterinsel may be your choice (also open on Sunday and Monday). <br />
<br />
<b>Sunday, 20 April:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">MUSEUM DAY 1:</span> <a href="http://www.pinakothek.de/en/kalender/2014-04-11/43326/david-shrigley-drawing">David Shrigley's Drawing</a> exhibition in the Pinakothek der Moderne has been met with a lot of excitement, in the first place due to its unusual concept that allowed everybody who can draw to participate and co-create the exhibits. Check it out today for just 1EUR (since it's Sunday). <a href="http://annablumenkranz.blogspot.de/">Anna</a> has also contributed a drawing, so we are quite excited to see the result. <br />
<br />
<b>Monday, 21 April:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">MUSEUM DAY 2:</span><a href="http://www.muenchner-stadtmuseum.de/en.html"> Münchner Stadtmuseum</a> (city museum of Munich) is a real jewel often unjustly overlooked by locals and visitors alike. Apart from the very entertaining sections permanently on display (the historical musical instruments section is especially recommended), there is always a great selection of temporary exhibitions. Here's what's on now: <a href="http://www.muenchner-stadtmuseum.de/en/sonderausstellungen/asylum-at-the-stadtmuseum.html">Asylum at the Stadtmuseum</a> (African puppets and masks), <a href="http://www.muenchner-stadtmuseum.de/sonderausstellungen/hermann-landshoff-eine-retrospektive.html">Hermann Landshof Retrospective</a> (photographs from 1930s to 1970s), <a href="http://www.muenchner-stadtmuseum.de/en/sonderausstellungen/mt-wetzlar-silversmiths-establishedin1875-aryanizedin1938.html">M.T. Wetzlar silversmith's</a> (Jewish family business aryanized by the Nazis) and our personal highlight - <a href="http://www.muenchner-stadtmuseum.de/en/sonderausstellungen/soundlab1-the-museum-goes-audible.html">Soundlab1</a>, the museum's music collection relaunched as a "sound laboratory" that allows you to experiment with the exhibits. The museum is open on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Here's some additional motivation from the museum staff: during the Easter holidays every visitor will get a nougat Easter egg while supplies last. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">SPRING SPRAYING: </span>And here's another idea for any sunny day: take some friends and spray cans (best place to buy cans in Munich is the <a href="http://www.ghostyard.de/">Ghostyard</a> shop in Westend) and head to Tumblinger Strasse (Schlachthofviertel). Find a wall and spray something awesome or simply try something and have some laughs. We certainly had a lot of fun when we did this! <br />

<b>Monday, 14 April:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">DIX VS BECKMANN:</span> Their lives show several parellels, however it is not known whether they ever met in person. Whatever the case may be, the juxtapositon of two of the most important German painters of the 20th century at the Hypo-Kunsthalle is definitely worth checking out.

<br />
<b>Friday, 18 April</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">CYCLING AT NIGHT:</span> In keeping with its motto "We are not blocking the traffic, we are traffic!", <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/673430799381743/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter=calendar">Critical Mass Munich</a> is calling upon cyclists to join the "disorganized, untihierarchical" protest for equal rights with motorised traffic.

We are back! Which means, we've been away. It was not intended, but it turned out that we needed a longer break. Now we finally feel rested and prepared for all kinds of freakish events in our blooming city, kissed by the sun and seduced by moonlight... However, to make sure that we do not need another break too soon, we will adjust the rhythm of the posts in this blog to our lifes, which means that the posts will be less regular (but not necessarily less frequent). They will also cover different periods of time, and not always a whole week. Enough said, here we go, and the week starts with a bang!<br />
<br />
<b>Monday, 31 March:</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">MUSIC AGAINST ALL WARS: </span>"It was only this afternoon that we still believed in something. Demonstration to bury all wars R.I.P." Such is the title of a freakish performance / demonstration thought out by Munich based artist Anna McCarthy. Munich's department of Arts and Culture has <a href="http://www.muenchen.de/rathaus/Stadtverwaltung/Kulturreferat/Presseservice/Pressemeldungen/2014_03/Heute-Nachmittag.html">selected five arts projects</a> to commemorate 100 years since the beginning of WWI, Anna's project among them. The demonstration (<b>Meeting Point: 1pm Marienplatz, march to Zenith concert hall</b>) will be accompanied by dadaist poetry interpreted in songs and speech by several musicians, among them Anna McCarthy's band <i><b>Damenkapelle </b></i>and Anna's brother Nick McCarthy from the band <b><i>Franz Ferdinand</i> </b>(who play Zenith this evening). Here's the description of the project from <a href="http://www.annamccarthy.de/">Anna McCarthy's website</a>: </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The demonstration follows the route of the striking arms' workers in Munich, January 1918 during the 1st World War. This was one of the main demonstrations that led to the overthrow of the Wittelsbach monarchy and the shortlived Bavarian Socialist Revolution (1918-1919) led on by anarchist artists and writers including Erich Mühsam, Ernst Toller, Oskar Maria Graf and Kurt Eisner.<br />
The highly decorated float will move through the city visiting significant points and remembering the shortlived dream of a free state through song and speech. The poems of Erich Mühsam and Hugo Ball (founder of Dada) are newly interpreted by Munich-based musicians DAMENKAPELLE, Tagar, Manu Rzytki, Federico Sanchez, Sebastian Kellig and Nick McCarthy from Franz Ferdinand (pun intended). The story will be told backwards and abstracted of the days before, during and following; to end all wars then and now.<br />
The next day we will wake up and realise we've all been fooled.</div>
<br />
<b>Tuesday, 1 April</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">ART IST HART:</span> Opening of an "analog vs. digital art" group exhibition in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dasprovisorium">Provisorium</a>. A long list of interesting artists - sounds like a nice pretext to visit an arts bar with a certain charm. Talk to the artists, have some drinks, and don't be fooled!<br />

Wow, 18°C in Munich on Saturday, in February! So what did we do? Enjoy the sun in one of Munich's picturesque beergardens? Go cycling along the Isar? No, we were on a plane on our way to cold and damp London. Hard luck! Anyway, happy for all those of you who managed to enjoy the amazing weather! Here some weatherproof events for the start of the coming week. Our picks for the weekend will follow later this time!<br />
<br />
Upd.: In fact, regardless the floodings the weather in London turned out to be pretty good!<br />
<br />
<b>Monday, 17 February:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">GUINESS IS GOOD FOR YOU:</span> Looks like Monday is our day for a pint of Guinness and some classic pub entertainment. If you enjoyed the pub quiz at Molly Malone's, <a href="http://whatsoninmunich.blogspot.de/2014/02/things-to-do-in-mu-10-16-february.html">as we suggested last week</a>, have a go at <a href="http://www.kiliansirishpub.com/livemusic.php">Killian's</a> this time. There's no quiz, but live music from a cover band with hits by Dylan, Donovan and Beatles from 9pm.<br />

Hello again and a specially warm welcome to our new readers! Last week we shared our blog with <a href="http://internationalfriends-munich.com/">Munich International Friends</a> on Facebook, and the positive reactions gave us a nice confidence boost. Let's face it - we do want kudos for our work and feel very happy when we get some. <br />
<br />
Speaking about Munich International Friends - 11K people in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/337962059578245/?fref=ts">Facebook group</a> is quite a number, so if you are not among them you should hurry and maybe get to know some of the active members at the Round Table on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Here is what else is on in Munich next week.<br />
<br />
<b>Monday, 10 February:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">MOLLY WANTS TO KNOW:</span> Mondays are tough, there's no arguing about it. On the plus side, Monday is Pub Quiz Night at <a href="http://www.yelp.de/biz/molly-malones-irish-pub-m%C3%BCnchen">Molly Mallone's</a>. A fresh Guinness, a good laugh with friends and some entertainment answering quiz questions (in German or English) - what better way to bring the tough day to a close! Starts at 8.30pm. <br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday, 11 </b><b>February</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">JAZZ JAM SESSION: <span style="color: black;">Students and teachers from the <a href="http://www.jazzschool.de/www/">Neue Jazzschool München</a> will be jamming at <a href="http://pasinger-fabrik.com/de/gesamtprogramm/detailansicht-programm-pasinger-fabrik/cal/event/detail/2014/02/11/jam_session_der_neuen_jazzschool_muenchen-8/view-list|page_id-1.html">Pasinger Fabrik from 7.30pm</a>. This is a monthly free event and a chance to discover new talents, show your own (everybody is invited to participate) or simply fall back into your chair with a well-earned after-work beer and listen to young musicians enjoying themselves and their music</span></span><br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>Wednesday, 12 </b><b>February</b><b>:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">MEET-UPS: </span><a href="http://internationalfriends-munich.com/">Munich International Friends</a> invite to their weekly <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/413343805466485/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming">Round Table</a> in the Euro Youth Hostel at Hauptbahnhof (<span class="visible"><span class="fsm fwn fcg">Senefelderstraße 5) from 7pm. They also organise plenty of other events like ski trips for beginners or advanced skiers, trips to Neuschwanstein, visits to museums, etc. Check out the <a href="http://internationalfriends-munich.com/index.php/events/upcoming-events">full programme here</a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">OPERA LIVESTREAM: </span>For all opera fans out there - Cinema Muenchen is streaming <a href="http://www.cinema-muenchen.de/filme/5419.html">Don Giovanni live from the Royal Opera House in London</a>. The production is supposed to be quite spectacular, and even though it's not quite like seeing it live, it's as close as you can get without actually being at the ROH in London. The show is almost 4 hours, the length of two movies, which means that unfortunately tickets aren't cheap. Tickets 30€. Starts at 7.45pm.<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday, 13 </b><b>February</b><b>: </b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">HAPPY BIRTHDAY:</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/577368775688176/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter=calendar">Haus der kleinen Künste</a> is one of those shops that try to make a difference. It offers a stage to young creative fashion and design artists who share the shop's philosophy of fair and sustainable production. It also literally offers a stage to theatre artists in the "Keller der kleinen Künste". Today, the shop celebrates its 7th Birthday with a surprise programme for its friends. Starts at 7pm, free entry.<br />
<br />
<b>Friday, 14 </b><b>February</b><b>: </b><br />

<b>Tuesday, 21 January:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">READING:</span> Reading a good book in the solitude of your room on a cold winter night can be a very nice experience.

There is no meeting this week, but next Tuesday there will be a discussion of <a href="http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/0749397055/?tag=toytownmuni09-21" target="_blank">The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco</a>. If you'd like to join, you need to sign up in the <a href="http://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28859" target="_blank">Toytown</a> thread until January 23rd.<br />

<b>Thursday, 16 January</b><b>: </b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">JAZZ:</span> Jazz bar <a href="http://www.jazzbar-vogler.com/" target="_blank">Vogler</a> is definitely one of Munich's gems.

hacker-approach fans, so we are slightly skeptical about the strong
commercial focus, but at the same time very curious and eager to be
proven wrong. It will be running from Friday until Monday, and day tickets cost 15€ (9€ for students). Arnulfstraße 62, Hackerbrücke. <br />

After spending two past pre-Christmases in London, we are totally in the mood to embrace all the Christmas kitsch Munich has to offer! It is definitely not the same without all those advents, authentic Christmas markets and the best lebkuchen in the world! Anna is even so desperate, that she is probably going to bake plätzchen for the first time in her life...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some exciting things for the weekend, to fill your gaps between drinking glühwein and swallowing sweets:</div>
