  1. Jazz & Not Jazz

    I did not know that both Hay, the furniture designer, and Mikkeller, the beer brewer, were specifically Copenhagen based before we got there, so it was a surprise and delight to to able to visit both Hay House ( https://www.hay.com/functions/hay-stores/hay-stores-denmark ) and Mikkeller’s “War Pigs” BBQ place ( https://www.warpigs.dk/).

    Authentic Texas BBQ & Craft Beer | Warpigs Brewpub CopenhagenExperience authentic Texas-style BBQ and craft beers brewed on-site at Warpigs Brewpub in Copenhagen. With 22 beers on tap, slow-smoked brisket, ribs, pulled-pork sandwiches, and buffalo wings, it’s the go-to spot for after-work drinks, casual nights out, and group dining in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District.warpigs.dk

    On the walk to War Pigs we passed but did not enter this other bar that seemed to have every conceivable kind of live music? Ambitious.

    The doorway entrance to a brick building: a steel door fully glazed with a single piece of glass, frame painted green, propped open using a cobblestone, surrounded by wide open wooden shutter doors painted the same green. To the right of the shutters is a chalkboard listing bar specials.A piece of cardboard is taped to the left shutter with masking tape that says “Jazz & Not Jazz.” Smaller pieces taped to the right shutter do that thing bars love to do which, is point out that you can get drinks there (both in Danish and English, “FADØL!”, “DRINKS!”)JAZZNOT JAZZSSADFADØL!ORINKSBARBEERSHANCOCK PILSMER osCAMA FUSEDKOMBUCANAO PREMIUM SERLING E222H4M60, STERWINE:REDIAHITEDRINKS:GIN& TONGDARK M'STURNILSHOTSCHANCOCA

    I also just noticed that the other door proclaims “Drinks!” (in Danish and English) and “WC!”, which I guess is a sort of Drinks & Not Drinks.

    This is my new favorite bar.

  5. One remarkable and unexpected joy on this trip was the quietude of Berlin in the morning paired with the variety and volume of songbirds.

  8. I’m going to deploy my own mastodon instance on gravely.pizza where the only thing I change (initially, ha ha, he chuckled) will be to leave leading white space in posts alone.

  9. "Where would you like to meet?”, I asked someone I’m trying to buy something from on craigslist.

    “I only meet at home, in my garage."

  10. I was never able to suspend disbelief that “part of a balanced breakfast” pictured in 1990s cereal commercials with eggs, bacon, a green vegetable, tomatoes, a coffee, juice, glass of water and so on was in any way plausible.

    Well, every bowl of cereal I’ve had my entire life was three to six servings and four or five portions of milk. A balanced breakfast is good, actually (although I’ll pass on the bacon).
