Craving for a night of practicing numbers in danish? Properly not, but this game is a lot of fun and I’m sure host Miss Foster is willing to repeat in english.

For newbies I will quickly mention the rules of Banko:

Buy a ‘Banko board’ (1 piece is 25 kr, 3 pieces 50 kr) and find a comfortable seat before the game starts at 22:00.

Listen to the numbers being drawn. If you have got the number on your board, put a piece to cover it.

If you are the first to have all your numbers drawn you in this case WIN A BICYCLE! (Memo: Yell “Banko”!!)

Møntmestervej, 2400 København NV

20:30- 23:30 // no entrance fee

Take a stroll down Møntmestervej and get an impression of the people living here.

One person is doing his laundry, another talking to her canary.

No less than 50 different portraits and pictures of residents tell the story of what is going on inside.

The gable is the screen and there is plenty of interaction for smart phone users. You can also just borrow a mp3-player and get on the ‘audiowalk’ and find out what ‘augmented reality’ is all about.

A lot of people were involved in this project but the main artists are Hanne Lise Thomsen and Kassandra Wellendorf.

Mimersgade/Ægirsgade, 2200 København N

10:00 – 23:00

Have you met Mor Jane?

She is the owner of Café Viking, a small, cosy pub on the corner where Ægirsgade meets Mimersgade, Nørrebro.

She has had enough of the vandalism and violent behavior lately, so she came up with ‘NEJ TIL VOLD- JA TIL SAMMENHOLD’. It is an initiative for people to get together and have fun no matter nationality, age, religion etc.

So, if you are in the neighborhood, make sure to swing by and take a stand for social cohesion.

Obviously there is no better excuse for enjoying a beer and good music.

Pimp your bike and chill in the multi-ethnic surroundings at Superkilen, and join the crowd heading for Christiansborg Palace Square at 2 pm.

Fælledvej 9, 2200 KBH N

12:00-18:00

Once in a while I find a really good 2nd hand store and this is no exception. Gemmeren is probably the most ‘hyggelig’ and cheap store I have ever found in Copenhagen. And that’s why I simply had to start contributing there a few weeks back.

Our neighbors bring us piles of pretty dresses, pumps and t-shirts. We have got clothes for both sexes and items like LP’s, CD’s, paintings and accessories.

This Easter an army of chicks and yellow stuff has invaded Gemmeren and we want to invite you inside. Have a look around and relax with a cup of coffee on the couch.

It is going to be really cheap and the money you spend goes to Folkekirkens Nødhjælp and their work in the world’s poorest countries as usual.

Check out Gemmeren at Facebook and go “get your chick on” with me.
