Goodbye for now sweet Berlin...

Morning internet cafe time and I find myself writing to you again. Something about really feeling the end of this trip makes me want to tell you about everything. You don’t mind do you?

So last we talked I was heading to Schwarzer Kanal (http://www.schwarzerkanal.squat.net/) a lovely queer wagon platz where Peter Pandrew is staying. I regret to say that I am returning there today with the heavy heart of someone watching video of a Panda because come January the platz will be kaput. Tear. Queer displacement aside, my friend cum fiancé Enna picked me up at the U stop and guided me to this love paradise to watch people fix bikes, eat cupcakes and see like half of my friends from Copenhagen over some craft projects.

After a fair bit of that Enna threw me on the back of her bicycle and took me to see the city on the way to a lady and trans squat where we were to meet the sweet and amazing Cleo. We biked all along the East Side Gallery (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Side_Gallery) with me sitting on the rack of her back tire her tossing back bits of Berlin history and telling me about all the best places for Karaoke. We arrived and Cleo and our new friend Chase (a pilot from Perdue) were waiting with dinner and a few new Swedes. We climbed up on the roof and swapped stories and sang songs while the sunset over Berlin and our dinner. Some of these stories included one of our friends getting groped on the subway and responding by walking the guy up against the wall and putting her face 2 inches from his, saying `can I help you?` Lady be bad ass. I regret to say however that Chase did bring up the fact that the Women of the squat boarded up her windows yesterday because of a Nazi gathering happening here this weekend. The last year this happened they attacked the squat and threw stones through the windows and such. Cleo´s response to their arrival is going to be a gold chain mail ball gown and going about her business. We´ll see how this goes.
Eventually it was decided that I have to move to Europe and Enna proposed political marriage (thank you Sweden for your gay marriage). Choreographed dancing green card wedding? I think Yes.
anyway, Back to savour the last moments of Schwarzer Kanal before Cleo dresses me for Queer-o-matik where I will dance my last night in Berlin away to the sounds like 10 amazing lady DJs and drink ´vegan cocktail´... silly dykes.
Much love for the last time from Berlin,
Victoria
