There are some rumours about some sort of guerilla-takeover of the "very special tuesday-night-club". Our spies told us that certain individuals were seen in the back of the bookshop "watching some trashy movie".

"Amy and I met Sean, originally from Philly but now working a theater technician and celebrating his 12th year in Berlin. He spoke English softly and haltingly, his accent no doubt tempered by years of speaking deutsch. (...)
