Apparently the cash-strapped city of Berlin cannot afford the clean-up costs anymore. Pity...

i think it's outlived itself alright.

It's kind of weird how Germany is falling apart.

Then again, it does tend to happen ecery so often.

Is it? How sad. Berlin is still the #1 city that i would like to visit in the world. What happened to new cool Berlin?

I think it is still cool, maybe even becoming cooler as the economy continues to falter. I imagine now there are plenty of cheap places to live for artists, etc. I really want to go back to Berlin.

the new, cool berlin probably absolutely HATES the love parade.

is the Fuck Parade still going ahead?

It's more than just the cleanup costs, the sponsors aren't jumping into it because attendance has plummeted the last few years (1.5 million in 1999, only a third of that last year).

They say it's cancelled just for this year, but it seems more than likely that this will be a permanent cancellation. I wish I could have gone. Any first-hand experiences from ILM-land?

Berlin is still cool. The music shops kick ass and there's awesome techno parties every week.
