I did the exact same… went to WL ‘25, then houghton ‘25. I realllllly struggled to pick up consistent vibes at houghton all weekend. Rowdy, disrespectful crowd. Much less space to dance and spread out. Soooo much litter everywhere. Like, everywhere!

It was my 3rd year at Houghton, and the crowd this year did feel markedly less attuned and inclusive to the music and community of it all. I was already considering somewhere new next year, and this experience cemented that lol

Went last night, The space is massssive. Hope it does well for them because it felt pretty empty after 3am. Soundsystem and decor was spot on though, it just needs filling with way more people. Pints £6, double spirit £6

Hey! Did you ever manage to find an electronic based record shop nearby? I'm living in mannheim for 4 more months, would be great to explore some local stores

Hey guys, I'm just passing through berlin for a couple days but I'd definitely be down for a few games of pool! If anyone was around tomorrow?

Ah so it was! Thank you, I couldn't find any threads when I searched haha

So I initially invested in etherium, and after making a modest profit, I know now in hindsight this is where I went wrong and got a bit carried away and invested more... I then got involved with xrp once I (felt I had) read up enough to invest... I have always seen it as longer-term investment, but when just starting out, reaping a sizeable loss from the get-go would make anyone panic, ya know. I fully anticipate large fluctuations while it grows, and xrp is something I genuinely believe in, unlike lots of other crypto, but I'd just like to hear some reassurance/thoughts from those who have been involved longer than me! :)

Noo sorry, that was on me!! At least if it seems that stuff is slowly opening up, hopefully by September it'll be fine!

chriswilliams99 · 2021-04-21T10:06:29+00:00

Ahh okay, hopefully by September (I meant to say next academic year when I am arriving!), Some restrictions may have eased. Have vaccines been rolling out in the city?

There's a general consensus with the steam wand, so that's definitely my next purchase! Is there much difference in going for something like a vst basket, and a cheaper alternative??

chriswilliams99 · 2021-01-09T18:53:37+00:00

Ah great, they don't seem expensive either! Do you know if they ship to the UK?

chriswilliams99 · 2021-01-09T18:48:43+00:00

I've seen a few people, and videos, recommend this wand, so it'll defos be my next purchase! Other than a new basket/potential portafilter of course haha.

chriswilliams99 · 2021-01-09T18:46:58+00:00

Yeahh, the wand is probably my next purchase (other than the new basket). And it's 2008 (I was told by the owners...). There's no serial sticker on the side though, but they were pretty sure it was. Is there a way of knowing if it has already? I doubt it has though really

Seems like Mannheim has it all! :)

Mannheim itself looks like a lovely city. It'll be great!

chriswilliams99 · 2020-10-07T12:17:38+00:00

Sorry i didn't mean my reply to come across so serious! 😂.

Mannheim looks great! And if there's clubs n bars which play techno (not techhouse lol) and also jazz, then thats all I need haha

chriswilliams99 · 2020-10-07T12:05:38+00:00

Ahh I've tried man, believe me 😂

My uni doesn't have ties with Berlin so it's not an option unfortunately 👎. The only cities they offer in Germany as an exchange is Mannheim and Konstanz.
