Jazzmusik

Last night we went out to a jazz club with our friend Noah. He plays guitar, and he came to Berlin from Israel hoping to make it pay. On Tuesdays this club has a jam session, and it was packed. There wasn't even room to lift your beer bottle up to your mouth to drink! The music was really great though. A lot of musicians there know each other already, but quite a few of them are new each week and everyone takes turns and lets the others on stage. There were a lot of people from America there too, mostly from New Orleans and Georgia. And on their year abroad from college. Those are the ones to watch out for.

Anyway, here's Noah playing guitar, shot from my iphone in a tiny dark room.

Can you see all the cigarette smoke too? There is no law in Berlin about which buildings you can smoke inside of, so it's up to business owners. We secondhand smoked until the wee hours...I think we got home around 3. Noah didn't make it to his German class this morning--I guess he stayed out a lot longer than we did. I guess a lot of the guys at the club don't have day jobs. My day job was a little tough today, but it was worth it.

Here's to next Tuesday!
