  • PauseTalk Vol. 1

    Tomorrow (June 5) is the day I’m holding the first edition of the PauseTalk series (for more on the event, see previous posts).

  • PKN, Vol. 33

It’s a bit longer this time, happening November 1-15 (the opening party is November 3), and the theme this year is “paradise.” Me and Jesper have already started planning for another event this year, again to take place at Cafe Pause.
