Finding gigs to play in Berlin...part 1

This series concerns Onyx Ashanti and his efforts to introduce his unique brand of freejammin' beatjazz to Berlin.

The mission is simple: play gigs asap which have enough reward to enable the player to live on and play more.

We have to-date completed a full 24-hour cycle since Onyx's arrival from New York and this is what has been achieved so far:

- the purchase of a US-DE power adaptor and a bicycle to get around.
- found a typical under-the-bridge techno party and met some friends for drinks...just to taste some Berliner social and thus hand CD's over to interested people.
- a tour of Eberswalderstr/Warschauerstr/Oberbaumbr/Kreuzberg 36 and marking the Berlin map of Oranienburgerstr/Görlitzerpark area/some Fhain/Kreuzberg 61/Kreuzkölln.
- general web networking.

The idea henceforth is for Onyx to visit venues and offer to play.

The next 24 hours should bring news of some contacts made or even possible gig news. Let's see.
