2013 - and what are you up to?

So since spring finally seems to be arriving in Germany, we wanted to share our upcoming 2013 summer plans with you. We both, Sebastian and Janine, are absolutely sure that 2013 will be full of new experiences, amazing memories and lots of work as well. Since we always try to give you a "look behind the scenes" we thought we could, once more, take you with us to wherever we go and whatever we do that affects us both personally and in our work with bsclly. So this is what you can look forward to on Janine's behalf:

First of all: this summer will be my last one as a student. I don't know if I should be thrilled or sad about it, but I made a promise to myself to enjoy it anyways. Therefore I'm planning to spend my summer with friends, weekends at german music events like Southside and Splash Festival and generally just trying to not think about what happens after studies are over. But even before my final exams in late June, there are two trips I'm really looking forward to.

1 – I'm leaving for Paris this Thursday, which is tomorrow! Officially, it is a study trip I wasn't even supposed to take part in, but oh well, going anyways. But in fact, it's just going to be four days of sightseeing, hanging out with some amazing people I got to know over the last three years and, well, spending lots of money. Last time I went to Paris (for about 20 hours only) was to see Mac Miller, and I didn't even get to be anywhere near the Eiffeltower! So I am very excited for this trip and the impressions I will be able to gather and put into my work with bsclly. once I'm back.

2 – Only about three weeks later, my love for music will bring me back to Berlin. Since it has been announced in late 2012, I have been looking forward to attend The XX's Night + Day Festival at Berlin Spreepark with a good friend I haven't seen in a long time. Unfortunately, there won't be much time to appreciate Berlin itself since The Story So Far are doing a show in Stuttgart the night after. I don't know how to express my love for this band, but it is very vital and I can't wait to see them live on stage.

With final exams coming up in about a month, there won't be much to do other than studying, so I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of going to Paris and Berlin and sharing my impressions with all of you.
