Instead of the usual traffic jam, you will see lawn and picnic and people sitting in the sun (yes, the summer is back in town – quite on time).

For more information, see www.autofreiestadt.at. See you there!

In this clip, Axel Corti elaborates on the blessings for mankind and society at large of a “gelbes Zimmer”, a yellow-painted room. Enjoy!

If you would like to verify that a yellow-painted room is indeed a blessing for soul and spirit, we now offer tours. Pre-booking not required. Spirits are optional.

See the WUK’s website for more information.

Scheißhäusltour

Europe is in a crisis. National and municipal budgets have to be trimmed. At the same time, consumers have to encouraged to spend, in order to get the economy started again. The city of Munich is leading the charge against wasteful spending and in support of consumer expenditure: they are closing a number of public toilets. Why finance public infrastructure from the taxpayer’s purse if some company could make a profit from public digestion?

Christoph & Lollo seem to be so impressed by this initiative that they give a couple of gigs (for free – they have not understood the whole point) to bid farewell to these soon-to-be non-public toilets. They even have a song dedicated to this issue. If you happen to be in Munich on July 2, please pay tribute to these institutions of public relief.

For more information, please visit the website of Protest in München. For other events featuring Christoph & Lollo in the coming months, visit their website.
