Check out Widgetbox to find out what's going on on the right right now. I'm still configuring and testing various things. Changes, cleaning up etc.

Whatever used to be on the right will be BERLIN INTERNATIONAL from now on and the latest 15 posts can be found right here. That includes the latest search results for Berlin in the english news, blogs and links plus news from popmoderne and shared news-items.

You can already embed the same widget in your MySpace, Facebook etc. by clicking on "Get Widget"m but soon I will separate the "Berlin"-Search-things from those chosen by myself and other editors. Work in progress.

The complete guide to being online will follow soon.

The Web site the meat industry does not want you to see

We have a new E-Mail! If you wanna write us or if you want us to put you on the mailing-list or whatever: write to info at anothercountry.de.

(The mail will be forwarded to that Google-account with the long name. This one is easier to remember.)

"Another Country is a welcoming 'culture club' owned by bearded and slightly eccentric Brit, Alan Raphaeline. Knowledgeable and always up for a chinwag, he presides over a meticulously sorted library/store of used English-language books, including a vast science fiction collection. You can borrow or buy, join the book club, come for film screenings and poetry readings, or simply hang out on the sofas."

Findarticles.com has an interesting old story about "The Black Club" here: " For a night of genuine 18th-century-style roistering, try Blacks, 67 Dean Street, W1. Founded in 1992, the club occupies the site of a former tea-room frequented by Samuel Johnson. Restored to its rambling Georgian splendour, complete with the largest collection of Hogarth prints in the world, by former Norfolk poacher Tom Bantock and Guiseppe Mascoli, the building offers "a refuge from the disgusting political correctness" of today.

"It's hard to sum up a typical Black's member. However, it's difficult to find one with an IQ of less than 140," says Bantock, who describes himself as "a completely irresponsible drunkard".

Prospective candidates first need to be approved by a 150-strong all- female committee, all allegedly hand-picked by Bantock. Once in, the new member is free from the strict rules imposed by nearby clubs like The Groucho, as long as they respect Bantock's ban on ponytails (Bantock claims to have cut off seven so far), mobile phones and chewing gum. "Apart from these rules my only problem is with people who haven't had a drink too many," he adds. For the morning after, breakfast (full English, of course) is available for members and non-members alike. Open 11am-2am, membership (London) pounds 200pa."

Me and Brother John are working on it, ok? We still need to record Bernie though.... So, Bernie get your ass over here to the little recording studio in the backstage area of the bookshop and we can finish the damned thing!!!

You might have noticed the list of topics up there. There's also a link for the monthly reading group and a new RSS-Feed . Scroll down the column on the left. The RSS-Feed is supposed to be a selection of updates from other Berlin Blogs in English. Right now we included Ed Ward, Berlin FAQ and Sign & Sight, but you may suggest other Blogs.

The Newsclips on the right are links to stories we find interesting in general.

The Berlin Newsfeed on the right displays stories from Google News, Google Blogs, Upcoming.org and Flickr tagged with the keyword "Berlin". So, we don't choose those stories, ok?
