What a fantastic weekend. Again!!! With nice summer weather, swimming, Concerts and so much more. Whats next?

Ice Hockey World Championships is still going on, and the fans are very peacefull, no drunken people fighting so far. Very goood.

Norwegians
Thursday is the national independance day for Norway, and since there are about 10.000 Norwegians living in Copenhagen (Weather is better – beer is cheaper), they make a march from Christiansborg – the parlament – to the Norwegian Church at Amager. All dressed up in tradional costumes. It is a party, and among other places it continues at Loppen with Norwegian bands playing. Next to Christiania, there are also Copenhagen Norwegian DJ Mashti playing at Kaj.

The arcitecture festival, is still there, check it out here. Last day is wendesday 16th May. The Danish Architecture Center – DAC –  is now opened. I havent yet been there, so tell me what you are thinking. DAC

Free Concerts
And then Pumpehuset is starting its free koncerts on wendesdays in the courtyard. It is local bands, and May 16th it is Doktordoktor (Mellow hip hop) and Ravi Kumar (at bit more aggressiv Hip hop. ) I might come by and drink a beer or two. 🙂

Picture: Its not that difficult to make a concert. A Bike and a PA system. Caught at Dronning Louises Bro.

Summer and holidays

What a fantastic weekend we just had! And the next 3 days, it will even be better. So go out and enjoy the sun, until thursday when temperaturs drop, and the clouds come. I´ve been taking a dive in the harbour both saturday and sunday. The water is very refreshing (cold). Remember that thursday May 9th is a bank holiday, and schools, banks, public offices are likely to be closed on friday 11th as well. But shops are open.

Concerts

I can find many good things to recommend. At Loppen you should remember your earplugs when Polish Metal band Batushka take a look around. This is Tuesday May 8th
And at Alice, you can find psycidelic freejazz / progrock, when Greek – Australien Xylorius White playing Wendesday May 9th. And remember that the weekend starts at wendesday.

Kaj, on Christianshavn, is electronic music for free. But the weather is looking to be clouded and windy, so this is a mayby from my side.

Hockey

The Hockey Fans are mainly in the center of the city, around Strøget and Nyhavn. Nice and friendly beer drinking people. But if you wants a good time with the danes you should hang out at Dronning Louises Bro (Queen Louises Bridge, the gateway to Nørrebro). In the afternoon there are so many friendly people hanging out, drinking coffe or beer, or eating an Ice cream. Best place in town for just watching.

And there is the new food court, with outdoor seatings by the harbour, opposite the Inderhavns (inner harbour) Bridge. I havn´t tried it, but it is very popular.

Test at NYT

Test your knowledge about Copenhagen and Denmark here at New York Times . It is quite easy. 😉
And remember to enjoy yourself. 😀 

May 4th

Wonder why there are so many candlelights in the windows on friday night? It is the evening of the liberation after 5 years of nazi occopation. In 1945 the people tore down the dark curtains and put lights in the windows, so that everybody could see that we were free again.  So on May 4th. this is celebrated.

Hockey Championships.

On friday May 4th starts the World Hockey Championships. Here in Copenhagen we have group A with Russia, Sweden, Czeck Republic, Slovakia, France, Belarus, Austria and Switzerland. So welcome to the Hockey fans, and everybody else. And take care out there.

Mary Jane

First saturday in May is international Marijuana march day. Off course it leaves from Christiania, and goes to the Parlament at Christiansborg, and back again. There will be a smoky afterparty at the Moonfisher Christiania.

Festival

Architecture Festival has started and continues until may 16th. There are movies, talks, debats, guidede tours and much more. And on sunday 6th the new Bloks architecture center opens with the Queen and ministers and a lot of other people. There is a debat about it. You can read this review in The Guardian.

Earplugs

In DIY Ungdomshuset, there is a Metal festival here in the weekend: Northern Discomfort. It is cheap entry price, cheap beer, and a lot of young people . It is a bit out of town, take bus 5C or 350S towards Nord West. European and US Metal Bands. Remember earplugs 😉 . Cash only. Ungdomshuset

If you are into dancing, mayby you shold look towards The Opera at Christiania at saturday, where there i Danish/ Ugandian Feridah Rose sings, and there is a after party as well. Cash Only.

Dancing

Move your feet and dance away at alicecph.com where there is Brazilian Afrobeat. It sounds like something that could turn out just fine, and with sweat pouring out, and a lot of beautiful people around. They also have a night disco, but it is not a big attraction.

 

I have an obcession with paint Spills, so here is a giant from Nørrebrogade 😉
