Anyone that signed up for our mailing list with a hotmail address is most likely not getting anything from us as Microsoft has decided that we are sending you spam and I can´t seem to figure out how to get around this, so If you are not getting our email and want to send us a non microsoft email address please drop us a line or let us know next time you are in the shop.(Anyone that knows how I can fix this please let kim know, Thanks) Sent Microsoft a email today and got this back less then an hour... Hello, Thank you for contacting Windows Live Hotmail Domain Support. Our goal in Windows Live Mail is to make sure that every wanted message arrives in your Inbox, and I know how frustrating it is when this doesn't happen. It appears that the gmail.com domain is being affected by one of our anti-spam or bulk message filters. As a part of the Sender Escalations Team, I work directly with senders, domains and other ISPs to resolve mail delivery failures. Though I cannot resolve this for you immediately, I will attempt to contact the administrator of gmail.com. It may take a few days to resolve this issue and for your wanted mail to arrive in the inbox of Hotmail accounts.

Best Regards,

Anja

From now on, all nicotine freaks will have to visit the smokers lounge in the fantasy cellar downstairs (open the hatch, go down the ladder and follow the blinking lights and the fluffy white rabbits!)

No more smoking during live performances. Go outside or smoke in the little backroom upstairs if you really can't wait for 30 minutes or so.

No more smoking during the movies unless everyone agrees that it's ok. We don't want to make this too complicated. So, it would be nice if we don't have to have endless discussions about this.

The shop is no. 7 of the 25 top locations in Berlin on MyDayTrip.com, a social network for globetrotters : "Part bookshop, part library, this eclectic, brainy hub is a "country" of its own. The "cult" leader of "Another Country" is Alan Raphaeline, who would be more than happy to challenge anyone and everyone in extemporaneous discussions/debates about almost any topic (except for Harry Potter)."

I added a new feed with links to free music. It's on the right.

And the video widget is back because some folks asked for it...

The Harvard Center for European Studies Berlin did a long interview which should answer a lot of questions about the bookshop.

There was a long story about the shop in that thing. It's flying around where the butter is. Could someone please pick it up and scan that article?

Quite a lot of traffic today. Mister Augustine mentioned this blog over at "The Guardian Blog"

Look at how talented Alex and Ken are!

We (Sister Chain & Brother John) would like to thank everyone who turned out for the Fantasy Cellar on Wednesday last. For those of you who weren't there - you missed a great set from Marzipan Marzipan and Big Daddy Mugglestone with support from our good selves. The stage was ably managed and lit by Kim. Friendly barmaids (Stephan) served a packed house and a good time was had by all. We hope to repeat the process next month. watch this space for details.

Tomorrow we play at Wonderbar, Lady Gaby's nook at Wienerstr. 45. It's free and starts around 21:00.

Here's a picture of the ugly bird.

Another nice one with a pretty accurate description of what the shop is all about: "Treasure trove of English language books to buy or borrow. Run by charming Englishman who was more interested in showing us the Saturday Night Live 'Dick In A Box' video than selling us anything."

All the Newsfeeds have moved to new pages. I will create more individual categories soon.
