MUSIC: Hauskonzerte organise beautiful living-room style concerts around Munich. They usually pick a cozy location and make it even cozier by adding some carpets and shade-lamps, but you never know where the concert is going to take place in advance.

Tuesday, 4 February:
MUSIC: Munich's experimental DIY band Beißpony is playing at the Favoritenbar, Damenstiftstr. 12. I highly recommend watching them live, as Laura's traditional singer-songwriter-style piano playing and her beautiful voice work in perfect symbiosis with Steffi's performative and experimental usage of such weird musical instruments as a sewing machine, a type-writer, broken toys, etc. Starts at 8.30pm. Free entry!

BOOKS: The Munich Readery is the largest second-hand bookshop with books in English. They have a cool offer, which gives you free wifi if you buy a book, a comfy place to sit, and bring-your-own-food & cofe. Sounds like freelancers' heaven to us. This week they have a 25% discount on everything to celebrate their 8th anniversary. And they regularly host a verity of readings, creative writing and storytelling events. Augustenstr. 104 (U2, Theresienstr.).

Funnily, there will also be another night flea market at the same time: Nachtkonsum at the Tonhalle, Kultfabrik am Ostbahnof. It also comes with live music, food & drinks. Entry 3€, from 5pm to 11pm.
