ESMOD Aftershow Party

I will be DJing at the official aftershow party of the ESMOD fashion show (ESMOD is a fashion school in Munich) on thursday. My good friend and DJ mentor Mr. AM to PM will be backing me on the turntables and it will be a night with electro-pop, indie mixes, techno, champagne and pretty girls. The party is happening at 10 PM at the Ampere club right next to Muffathalle. See you there.

Timelapse of Eyjfja...Eyallaföck...Eyjjölallfök....well, you know.....that volcano in Iceland

Cinematographer Sean Stiegemeier managed to capture some breathtaking timelapses of Eyjafjallajökull. Hopefully it won't be spitting ash anytime soon cause I kind of planned flying home from Norway this week.

If you have the possibility, you should watch the recent Saturday Night Live episode with Ryan Phillippe. Kristen Wiig does a hilarious impression of Bjork talking about the volcano.

Grotli Mafia

It´s raining and I got bored. So I got rid of my beard. And hair?

If the weather continues to poop on us we´re going to go to Stad to surf which is a nice alternative to the snowy spring greybird here right now. Surfs up dude!

Grotli - First Day Of Shooting

We had our first day of shooting yesterday. We got about eight shots so I´m happy.

Weather has been confusing us so we have loads of spots built but just need Mr. Sun to come out so we can shoot them. But waiting for good weather gives us more time to eat. The food here at Hotel Grotli is incredible. Thanks Ap!

Ok, while I´m at it:

Grotli. Norway - The Homecoming Pt. 4

Damn, I´m really bad at this blogging thing. I kind of forget that I have it sometimes. Or maybe I realise that I actually have a life outside the internet. But then again I catch myself spending half the day on Facebook. Note for the future: Less Facebook, more blog.

Anyways, I went to Russia which was a pretty crazy experience. And I didn´t blog about it. But I was busy filming everything 24/7 with the amazing Canon 7D DLSR camera so I didn´t get any cool pictures to post anyway.

And now I´m in Grotli, Norway again for the 4th time in a row. We´ve been coming here since 2007 to film at our friend HC Bergheim's hotel. This place is in the middle of nowhere, miles away from any civilization. But his family has two snowmobiles and and an endless backcountry which we can access to build jump after jump after jump. The shoots in Grotli have been pretty much the most productive trips of the previous seasons. Hopefully it turns out good as well this year. I arrived yesterday at 5 AM after a 2 hour flight to Oslo and a 6 hour busride up here. Pretty intense since I was afraid my flight would get cancelled thanks to the volcano in Iceland. You know what else is intense? Camping.

I finally got to play around with my photo camera again which my parents gave me for X-mas a few years ago. It´s a Panasonic Lumix 3 and it´s super cool.


Maybe I´ll remember to post another blog on this trip.

Oh, and I just want to put it out there: The new album "High Violet" by The National is awesome and everybody should go out and buy it! Definitely the soundtrack of my trip.

What else? Hmm...check out my friend Howzee's blog, cause he does cool stuff.
