BLOOD MOON — WATCH THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE

BLOOD MOON — WATCH THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE

If you can make it outside or get a good sky view from indoors this Monday night, you sure wont regret it. The moon will offer a beautiful display: the total lunar eclipse. This phenomena doesn’t happen very often; sometimes it takes years for the next one to reappear. The moon will have a red, fiery glow, a strikingly romantic and also a bit of a frightening sight – hence the term “blood moon.” This is the result of the sun, moon, and earth being in a straight line, and the earth’s shadow blocking the moon which has no shine of its own but reflects the sun’s rays, making this rare light in the process. The technical term Syzygy, which is used to describe the event when three planets or other space bodies are in line, is the greek word for “yoked together.” Find your own setting to watch or go communal with the organized Facebook event. Either way, don’t miss out! Our recommendation: watch the moon from Klunkerkranich. They are open until 1am for September 2015! (Text: Isabelle Kagelius)

Berlin: 28.9.15, 00.15-1.30h; Facebook event

BLACK MOON — COLD BREW COFFEE BY GOOD SPIRITS

BLACK MOON — COLD BREW COFFEE BY GOOD SPIRITS

Are you scared you might fall asleep before the “blood moon” appears? We know the solution: “Black Moon,” a cold brew coffee made from Kenyan beans (Single Origin Washed Kenya Arabica for all coffee nerds) by Berlin-based coffee brandGood Spirits. Their cold brew comes in nicely designed little bottles – handy for those who are planning to watch the moon outside and lovely on your shelf. And just in case you’re not yet familiar with the idea of cold brew, it’s not just chilled coffee but, true to its name, it’s made with cold water, or precisely extracted over 24 hours using filtered, energized water. The result is less sour than regular coffee, yet comes with the full flavor and 100% caffeine. If you’re planning to party all night long, you might want to try Black Moon with Gin & Tonic (see Facebookfor tips). Or try our summer favorite of 2015 with just Tonic water. But as for me, I like this specific cold brew not just with moon light but with rays of sunlight as well, because there’s nothing more refreshing than a sip of chilled, excellent coffee. Yes, in winter too. Where can you get it? At Goodies in Prenzlauer Berg, Filter House in Graefestrasse, or see here for a full list of stockists. (Text: Nina Trippel)

A BOOK ON CONTEMPORARY WORK LIFE: DIE FLÜSSIGE FABRIK

A BOOK ON CONTEMPORARY WORK LIFE: DIE FLÜSSIGE FABRIK

The Cee Cee summer break is over, ergo we are back at work – the perfect moment to refer you once again to an item sold this July at the Cee Cee Shop: Die Flüssige Fabrik (Liquid Factory) by Berlin-based artist and designer Timo Hinze. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a book everyone has to read. Everyone who works at least, or plans to in the future. “Flüssige Fabrik” is devoted to us, workers who cling fast to our work and feel connected to it, driven not (or not always) by external pressures, but by ourselves. Though we may not stand on assembly lines, though we may sit at desks and stare at screens instead, we are nothing more than our own workers and optimization managers in one, constantly striving for productivity. The book, like the Tino Sehgal exhibition (that ran until 10.8.2015 at Martin-Gropius-Bau), asks the question: “Would you rather be too busy, or not busy at all?” Hinze’s Die Flüssige Fabrik was published (in German) by Spector Book (Leipzig) and costs 10 Euros – money well invested.

FAVORITE SUMMERTIME BLOG: BADESTELLEN-BRANDENBURG.DE

On these scorching hot summer days, it seems that every one is in on the secret: heading to Brandenburg, coveted as one of Germany’s most aquatic states. The tricky part, though, is finding the right lake for you and yours, perhaps away from the stampede of Berliners looking to do the same. Check out Badestellen Brandenburg (Brandenburg Swim Spots). Here you’ll find everything you need for a successful lake excursion – to Sacrower See, for example, or Werbelinsee, Lanker Obersee, Schwielowsee among many others. The site’s creators have tested each and every one of them and are happy to provide maps with exact coordinates and a compass rose for the cardinal directions. Off you go! For more details, check out the individual listings where you’ll find information on water quality, sunbathing lawns, sand beaches, food options, toilets, showers, playgrounds, accessibility and, most important, how to get there. I myself will add only this: pack your bathing suit and have fun exploring! (Text: Milena Kalojanov / Photo: Peter Gäbelein)
