The Montesas (+Montesitas) Atomic Cafe Munich

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Yesterday we were at the concert of  The Montesas in the Atomic Cafe. A great funny trip with the time machine back to the 50’s. It had been long since our last concert and we enjoyed the evening with a great nonstop performance of this ace German 50’s beatband. I will post some more fotos later on. Just wanted to check if I still succeed in posting a video. Seems to work.

The first photo shows Christiane chatting with Ira, one of the Montesitas. (Click to enlarge)

The Herzogstand-Heimgarten Hike 2009

They had announced this would be the last summer day of 2009. I try to do this hike once a year so, this year after 2007 and 2008 the 3rd time.  Being owner of a Oregon 300 GPS since my last US trip, I could for the first time log my hike and create following profile out of the gpx.log.

first peak is Herzogstand, second is Heimgarten

It took me 7 1/2 hours this year. Never been so slow.  The weather was fantastic.   The view towards the north (Starnberg Lake, Ammersee) and to the Alps was amazing. The hike itself can be divided in 4 parts:

  • 6 km steep climb of 1000m altitude towards Herzogstand peak (2 h). The “exhausting” part.
  • 2 km along the rim between Herzogstand and Heimgarten (1.5 h). The “Nice” Part!
  • 1000 m in 3km descent from Heimgarten towards Walchensee. The “endless” Part!
  • 4 km along the Walchensee shore back to the car park near Urfeld. The “tired and aching” part!

my 2009 Asia Filmfest wrap-up

asiaff2009Sunday was last day of Munich’s ASIA Filmfest. It’s time for my wrap-up. This year I did not have a top pick like in the past years. From the movies I watched I liked most “Overheard” followed by “Departures” and “The good, the Bad and the Weird”. I disliked only “Thirst” and “Vengeance”. I missed “Beast Stalker” where I had already purchased a ticket but mixed up screening hour. I saw 9 movies in total. The atmosphere seems to get warmer and warmer from year to year and also the attendence seems to grow. Always nice the evening presentations where the organizers Manuel Ewald and Armin Schmidt talk to the audience and giveaway DVD’s. I won a DVD at the “Overheard” screening: “Sasori”. 8 days with more than 50 movies. My favorite Asian movie genre is the Hong-Kong Movie, especially cop and crime thrillers. I also like Japanes movies. Asia FF is a real gem  in Munichs cultural landscape.

to his wife that in his new job he works as mortician. academy award
winner foreign film.		 4 out of 5
