I am going to Berlin to see a burner friend. Any one been there? What's hot? What's not? Any advice? Know of any burner events or cool connections?

So I put out to the universe that I was looking for a new name, and a very dear and beloved friend and confidant gifted me with a new name. I tried it out for a while, and like the sound and the feel of it. We had a naming ceremony for me on Halloween night and I feel very blessed to have friends who understand me and love me! peace&amp;love&amp;playadust Alchemy or Chemy al·che·my : A medieval chemical philosophy having as its asserted aims the transmutation of base metals into gold, the discovery of the panacea, and the preparation of the elixir of longevity. an alchemist is one who turns the crude into thebeautiful by skill and craft, one who leads others to paradise or the greatest good, and is instrumental in the preparation of the nectar of ever lasting life. </div> Fri, 09 Nov 2007 21:59:18 GMT http://people.tribe.net/shahdi/blog/c3322926-87c1-4e16-a811-3ec8239b4b87 shahdi 2007-11-09T21:59:18Z
