Berliner love

Berliner love

: The Love Parade in Berlin isn’t happening this year because the organizers couldn’t get financing. In any American city, the pols would also be doing everything they could to keep a parade filled with naked people off the streets. But not in my favorite European city: “Berlin politicians are now promising to focus on finding a way to bring back the Love Parade in 2005. As for this year, Berlin’s techno clubs are trying to think of an alternative event to offer the thousands of party tourists that descend on Berlin each summer for what used to be the world’s biggest rave.” (Official site here.)

    well it’s probably for the best. The FCC would have had to fine the country of Germany for such indecency.

    Jarvis, what are you thinking? Just say to yourself “naked Germans.” You know, they don’t all look like Katerina Witt or… (tries to think of German man she’d like to see naked, fails).

    it’s that cosmopolitan touch Andrea brings that makes her posts so compelling.
    German women are some of the most attractive in a continent blessed with good looking women.

    yeah you really got me on that one. I’ll lick my savage wounds, but I vow when I’ve recovered, I’ll be back.

    As a German taxpayer, I must object. Even cleaning up the rubbish afterwards costs millions. Unless you have a shot at those girlies, there is no net gain. I don

    Raves are for idiots. Love Parades are for old fat idiots. Living in Berkeley, I can attest to both.

    Don’t rain on Franky’s parade! He had a costume ready and everything. (Of course, that didn’t take much effort.)

    Jarvis! I just got back from JazzFest in New Orleans, and I can attest to *plenty* of celebrating in the streets in the Big Easy!

    BTW, if public nudity is your thing, Frisco is having its yearly 12k run, “Bay to breakers,” tomorrow. Apparently there quite a few naked runners every year.
