Schools out and so am i. Yes Ronster, i’m on holiday so i’m going to have to leave you and all of the other lovely Ronsters home alone for a couple of weeks. Please don’t trash the place while i’m away and no parties…well... not without me. There is still plenty of nice things to do in the quiet summer months though and if you have ever wanted to start a pop-up there is something interesting if you scroll down.

Have a great few weeks, see you in August and…

Give my love to the city

Plenty to do this week. There’s a few gigs, a lot of dancing to be done, a boat trip and the start of an open-air cinema.

Thursday: Rundfunk is back
Thursday: Blockbuster Films, Spectacular Views
Friday: You’ve still got time to visit the Kauz Sommerbar
Saturday: A Queer Party Out On The Lake
Sunday: Fantasic Negrito Plays Kaufleuten
Tuesday: X-Tra hosts Aussie singer Ziggy Alberts

For some reason i missed this gig from my July list but i’m making amends now. Amazing moustachioed Australian singer/songwriter and surfer Ziggy Alberts is back in Zurich after his sold out show in the Kaufleuten last year. This time he’ll be bringing his brand of folk pop to the X-Tra.

Do you have the entrepreneurial spirit? Do you have a great idea for a pop-up but don’t have the location? Maybe you want to combine art and food or music and food or even food and more food? Whatever your idea there is a great opportunity to run a pop-up in the Chuchi am Wasser, (which is the lovely bar by the water by Dynamo,) between the end of December and the end of February with the bidding stage ending on the 1st of September. Don’t delay, seize the day and good luck.

Do you know anyone who doesn't like fries? I don't. Because it's a very simple equation: potatoes cut into strips + fried + well-seasoned + sauce = love ♥ Whether thick, thin, with ketchup, mayo, cocktail sauce, or even mustard – I love them all. In the past few weeks, I feel like I've eaten 2,456 of these fried «apples from the earth» to find out where the best ones in town are. You can find the results here. Say friiies!
