Ines Show at German Center Beijing

Donnerstag, Dezember 3rd, 2009

Today the German Center for Industry and Trade in Beijing had their 10 Year Anniversary celebration in the Landmark Hotel. They had well prepared the vent with a huge wall of pictures of the past 10 years.

They had requested me to perform on their tiny stag. It was very long but unfortunately very narrow and un-expectedly covered with a quite soft carpet making it almost impossible to do any bicycle tricks. I did what I could do on my trick bike. The following pictures were taken by the photographers of the German Center.

Our French friend and contact juggler Muakine also perfomed on an even smaller stage than mine.

There was also a Chinese face changing performer and a typical Chinese Kungfu group. Then Zack and friends played some nice Jazz music as the huge buffet was opened.

It was a very nice event. Here is a picture of the German Center management team in traditional German clothes and me wearing a Chinese qipao.

I cycled back home together with Zack. He now goes to his gigs carrying all his drums on his tricycle. And I was cycling home on my slow trick bike.

Mess Shop Opening

Donnerstag, Dezember 3rd, 2009

My fixed gear friend GMing and his employees had invited me over to their shop opening ceremony. The shop is called Mess and they had been busy renovating it for quite some time. They have their own t-shirt brand making high quality t-shirts in Beijing.
