Fort Greene

DER SCHWARZE KöLNER Dale Hall, an Englishman who spent 17 years in Germany, moved to the United States six years ago. He and Randi Lockemann, left, imported German furniture. On Aug. 8, the two are opening a beer hall in Fort Greene, where they live. Sausages, communal tables and 18 German brews on tap are all you need to know. The name, Mr. Hall said, refers both to Cologne’s famous sooty cathedral (schwarze means black) and to Mr. Hall’s Afro-Jamaican heritage: 710 Fulton Street (South Oxford Street ), Fort Greene, Brooklyn, (347) 841-4495.

Photo Wedns: 8/5/09 Your Own Personal Jesus Edition

whew, set up a posting routine, then go and miss it by one post and it feels like an eternity since I've been active on this. The reason? Life. No, nah, good stuff. Reconnected with friends over the weekend, (so much so that I missed everything come Monday) and last night there was Depeche Mode.

Fun and Exciting, and occassionally Awesome. Although, upon entering Madison Square Garden I wondered if the concert would have been better titled "The Paunchy Khaki Shorts Wearing, Middle Aged White Guys (and the former Goths and High School Sweethearts They Married) Tour"

After the show we were shown to the Titanic Boiler Room that is Madison Square Garden's back staircase. I think I passed a cow wearing white makeup on the way down the stairs.
