Nerd Rules – Hot Cheese Crew
This weekend the Gallery Weekend Berlin is going into its next round and a lot of events circle around this art happening. For art lovers and gallery hoppers there are countless openings to attend. But there is also a lot more going on. My personal favorites being the concerts of Bodi Bill, the release party of OE Magazine and the live gig of my favorite young musician Rangleklods on Sunday. Look after the jump for this weeks events.
Monday-Thursday
Wow, how cool can you get? Selling out 4 (!) concerts in a row is quite the accomplishment and a testament for absolute coolness. That is the case for Berlin-based cult band Bodi Bill who play at Lido on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and there is not a single ticket left. So I hope you already have yours!

OE Magazine is probably the hottest and most anticipated magazine project launching this year. Berlin-based fashion agency Arne Eberle and a team of stylists and graphic designers can be held responsible for this beautiful collection of editorials and articles that showcase many of the best designers from Berlin. Get your copy at the launch party this Friday at Voo Store, Oranienstr. 24, 19h.

My very favorite new music act is definately Rangleklods from Denmark. I have been meaning to see this talented man with a god-given voice live for far too long and this Sunday it will finally happen at the Shameless Limitless party at Chez Jackie, An der Schillingbrücke. Terrace opens at 18h, party inside starts at 22h.
