ZURICH PHOTOTRIP
 
Ron's photo trip Zurich
 
 
 
Shoe party
 
 Grand slam: The store/gallery Grand presents the new Nike Cortez by Tokyoplastic this Thursday. For the release of the new Nike Cortez sneakers Tokyoplastic have created an animated short film with two characters. One represents the classic style of the original 1972 Nike Cortez (old school) and the other (2009) has an appetite for new things and ideas. Evangelos provides the sound at the party, Nicolas Duc shows pictures - and drinks are on the house!
Thursday 7 pm, Grand
 
 
 
Photo vernissage
 
Online imagery: Lumobox is an online photography gallery, representing mostly Swiss photographers. On Thursday it hosts a vernissage, Die Reise zum Traum – zwischen Mythos und Illusion, in their small-ish shop. If you’re looking for a unique souvenir of Zurich, while you journey between myth and illusion, I recommend the camera obscura photos Blue Hour I & II by Elvira Kaspar. Beautiful!
Thursday 7 pm, Lumobox
 
 
 
Comedy night
 
 British humour: Host Guy Stevens (originally from South East London) invited Chris Lynam and Matt Blaize (both from South East London too) to Switzerland. So, this Saturday, Funny Laundry presents an all South East London comedy night at Mascotte. Main act Lynam is an original member of The Greatest Show On Legs and also known in Switzerland for live comedy and TV audiences – while Blaize, a popular stand up comedian, is the opener.
Saturday 8 pm, Mascotte
 
 
 
Memorial party
 
Bye bye Dachkantine: Rote Fabrik organises the Seh-Tank film festival, showing long and short subcultural films. Saturday is dedicated to the former nightclub Dachkantine which closed its doors in February 06, followed by a Dachkantine memorial party. The documentary shows an emotional and intellectual reflection of music, drugs, subculture, publicity and the venue itself. If it's just half as good as Dachkantine used to be, I'll definitely be there.
Saturday 10.30 pm, Clubraum
 
 
 
Film night
 
 And the winner is: Slumdog Millionaire, which won the most Oscars (8) this year. And as it's generally a good idea to start the week with a “cinema Monday”, I have two pairs of tickets to give away for either Slumdog Millionaire or The Spirit.
Monday, various cinemas
e-mail for tickets (include your film choice)
 
 
 
Music
 
No Country For Old Men: This Cohen film doesn't have a soundtrack – yet it's title is almost identical to Now Country For All Men; events held every second Monday of the month, where Beda Senn alias DJ Manbat plays at the Bonneville-Bar (Hohlstrasse 48). His collection includes rock, pop and new country. 
Monday 9 pm, Bonneville-Bar
 
 
 
Good to know
 
Coffee time: Caffeine, in all forms, is a set part of my daily routine. So here’s a short course in German, so that you never have to struggle with your order again. Kafi crème: Is your standard cup of coffee which comes with one or two creams. Espresso: For those that like it strong. Espresso is probably called the same around the world. Schale: The word itself also means bowl but in this context refers to a coffee with milk, usually with a bit of foam. Kafi Hag: Decaf – for those who like the taste of coffee but get the jitters from caffeine. Kafi Hag is with cream, Schale Hag with milk etc. It’s named after one of the first brands to have produced decaf. Latte macchiato: A shot of coffee in a glass filled with milk foam. Cappuccino: A coffee with milk with a little bit of chocolate powder on top of the foam. Local coffee: If you want to go all local try Züri Kafi (beans or powder). It's a mild mix of beans from Brazil and Malabar that’s ideal for all kinds of tastes. Why is it called Züri Kafi? Because it's roasted in the Niederdorf and sold at Schwarzenbach.
 
 
 
Web
 
  Run away: The idea is simple. Place your digital camera in a safe spot, set the self timer on two seconds and run as fast as possible away from the lens. So far, all images on this website are from The Netherlands. Each of the creations has a certain charm – I don't really know why.
 
 
 
Eating
 
Good food for a good price: The idea originated in Scandinavia and has finally reached Zurich. This is how Eat Zürich works. You buy the restaurant guide for 55 Francs and the 12 restaurants listed will offer you one main course for free, as long as there are two of you ordering one main course each. I have 10 Eat Zürich guides to give away. En guete!
