While all of our writers are trying to figure out what to write about this european union thing,I think this cartoon shows what will happen.

Post-Rest-Fest

Dijital film festivali resfest nihayete erdi. 15-20 dakika gecikmeyle başlayan g�sterimler ve neredeyse her g�sterim başında ( hem de 3 g�n boyunca aynı kıyafetle )�ıkıp konuşma yapan g�bekli amca dışında herşey yolunda ve olduk�a keyifliydi. (Şarap ikramı i�in dolucayı buradan ailecek kutluyoruz!) Her ne kadar jonathan Glazer retrospektifi ve Bushwacked hayal kırıklığı yaratacak kadar zayıf olsa da kısa filmler �ok başarılıydılar. �zellikle Brand Spanking (Kısalar 2′nin ilk filmi)b�yle sokaklarda dev ekranlarda yayınlanmalı. Film g�sterimleri boyunca i�erde bira i�ebilmek de ayrıca g�zeldi. Kısacası gelecek seneyi iple �ekiyoruz.

Not: Ritmix �ok iğren� bir i�ecek. Milli servete yazık. Ziyan.

Indigo Music Hall

Finally Istanbul has a new venue for electronic music lovers. We’ve been expecting this for a long time. Although there are lots of venues and clubs serving for Istanbul’s massive club scene, indigo is a little bit more like a performing center which is promising for fantastic electronic live acts as well as Dj performances.

Summer 2004 was the summer of Posh bosphorus clubs playing cheesy Turkish pop blended with beach and latin house tunes and so called gay clubs without an actual gay crowd but serving for curious heterosexuals and young females desparetely trying to find out what’s going on with some cheap techno music coming from the speakers. But thank god this winter we’ll be able to hear something good and thank god again it’s just 70 metres away from my flat so I’ll be able to change my clothes if an ecstasy jerk spill his water on me or a beer guy - with a belly looks totally unnatural under his tight shirt and waiting his next life to discover pot - pukes on me.

Here are the gems of October

Hot Spot

I was so sure that I would find a new place with the same view but with a little more luxury ( a proper heating system perhaps?) when I decided to move my place 2 months ago. Well, I couldn’t. Although I offered the double of what I pay here, I couldn’t. It seems like Cihangir and Galata have become one of the most popular spots of Der Saadet(1) while I’ve been partying and chilling out in front of this exciting view which is 1000+ years old. The funny thing is, people used to be afraid of this area when I first moved here because of its bad reputation. Now they ask for astronomical rents for totally fucked up places just because they have sea view if you lean from toilet window and look left.

(1) Der Saadet: According to me, it’s the best known name of istanbul. it sounds so… err hedonistic :)
