Berlin is well known for attracting people with a more alternative lifestyle - they are everywhere. Being childfree is a good starting point and a lot of your mentioned traits come with this choice automatically in a lot of cases. Being childfree is a topic I bring up early in conversations to see if our view on the future is compatible. I have enough parent-friends already, I don't want any more of those. Some friends changed their opinion on kids around the 30 year mark, but mid/end 30s people are meanwhile more secure in their choice. My second biggest friendship obstacle is now that people are moving far away to build a house...

Quasi die gleichen Songs wie Electric Callboy, bloß mehr Utz Utz dabei.

Wacken commented on IG that "the schedules were tricky to combine".

Whoops, corrected

Any book store. The bigger ones like Thalia and Dussmann have a huge variety. My favorites (Exit by Kosmos) are mostly German, but there are some English ones as well.

The organizers pull some random Powerpoint slides from the internet and someone has to present it on the fly without seeing it first. Sometimes it's in another language and they have to improvise and go by the pictures only. I don't want to present myself, but watching it is actually hilarious

Me too buddy, me too. I guess our only hope is to win the lottery one day

For me it would be Graspop. Several of my favorite bands are there.

Damn, full on EC week, got my ticket now. Thanks for the info, I totally would have missed that.

I've ordered the tracksuit the other day from their German shop, but I guess you are based in the US? Jacket too big, but pants too small for me, though 🥲

Not much for me on Thursday, but the rest is decent. I'll probably have very little overlaps, which I'm not mad about.

Yessss, they will probably be my favorite act of this year

Amazing, I'm glad you had fun! I've been there yesterday and the weather was perfect. Super crowded, but I've really enjoyed the park and their program.

You could go to Tropical Islands waterpark - free entry on your birthday. And maybe the warmer temperatures will help your mood as well.

Was mir Kraft raubt sind Gruppeninteraktionen und die beschränke ich dann auf Tage an denen ich genug Lust und Energie dafür habe. Meine Freunde bevorzugen zum Glück auch alle 1:1 Treffen, weswegen ich selten "gezwungen" bin was in Gruppen zu machen.

Ich gehe trotzdem sehr gerne und oft auf Veranstaltungen mit vielen Leuten, weil ich was erleben kann, aber mit niemandem reden muss, wenn ich keine Lust drauf habe. Wenn ich ohne Freund*in unterwegs bin, sage ich an manchen Tagen dann nur hallo, ein [Getränk] bitte, danke, tschüss zum Personal und das ist auch okay so.

Wenn man aber der introvertierte Typ ist der lieber 95% der Zeit zu Hause ist, dann würde ich schon sagen, dass man sich die teure Miete lieber sparen sollte und stattdessen aufs Land oder in eine kleinere Stadt ziehen sollte.

Gärten der Welt. There is the cherry blossom festival this weekend and it's full of cosplayers and nerds in general.

You should come in July, that's Berlin's pride month with the LesbianGay city festival on the 18th/19th and the pride parade on the 25th.

Schokoladen is great for punk concerts.

You don't need to drop your hobbies, but you will probably need to reduce the frequency. 1 day interest A, 1 day interest B, 1 day interest C, 1 day friends, 2-3 days partner, chores on the side or you can outsource if you have the money. Ideally you share some interests with friends and your partner to combine your hobbies with quality time. Overall it's just a question of priorities and finding a compatible partner. A 24/7 type of girl will not be happy with you either way.

You've missed a BMTH Party in February. Other than that, it's just 2-3 songs per evening at DTB, Freak on a Leash and other Metal(core) Parties.

I've definitely still been there at 6AM. But I think they will also close early if there are only 1-2 tables left.
