MUSIC: Hauskonzerte organise beautiful living-room style concerts around Munich.

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.

Augustenstr. 104 (U2, Theresienstr.).
