These are a few of my favorite things...

Thought I would share:

Never have I seen ping-pong played like this. But on Tuesdays and Fridays, you can play it at Balkan Tripps in Kreuzberg. Starts off with about 30 players.  If you mess up, you're out!




People start getting eliminated and it ends up with two players left. I think the hardest part though, is when there are three players left. You can see them going around the table in a counter clockwise circle. This is a clear disadvantage for a lefty like me. So every night, I designate one or two games in which the circle goes clockwise. This doesn't guarantee me anything, but at least the right handed players understand how i feel every other game of the night.

 

This really blew my mind. When it comes to karaoke, I have very specific preferences. The little booths are fun and all, but i have a theory. When in the booth, whoever is singing is not getting the attention they deserve. This is because everyone else is shuffling through the song book. So i prefer the bar when everyone has to wait there turn and the singer gets their well deserved attention. I feel the singer should be heard. He/she is putting his/her all into this performance (i hope), so the more spectators the better. This is Mauerpark BearPit Karaoke, every Sunday.



 



P.S. make sure you get some scharf sauce.
