Yes, it's in Dresden but doesn't feel like it, and not only because it's hiding in a corner you'd normally never stumble upon. I don't know what it used to be, maybe a dance hall? It's like a vintage dress. There's a balcony/walkway around the main space and decorative molding on the ceiling, but some of the sequins are missing and one strap's unraveling. Precisely why you adore it. That, and when you wear it you expect and often experience, an adventure. Twice it worked for me: Kayo Dot and then a German band I can't remember the name of with a weird sister playing weird instruments. (That second evening continues to reverberate lusciously in spin-offs, but that's another tale). Unfortunately on Friday the strap broke and I had to stand around holding my dress up. Like the band that night, I was crippled. Sorry, Tennessee, if you ever read this, I lied: I didn't like it. That's why I was distracted and attracted by the smell of coffee brewing behind me and took a picture of it. Then I played a words with friends with follower number 1 (hey there, thanks for following! I need a geographical alias for you so I can mention you by name here. And since you're the first to join, you get to choose!) and texted follower number 2 (hey, there, thanks for following! I need a geographical alias for you so I can mention you by name here. And since you're the second to join, you get to choose!) and looked around in horror at the wild facial bush sprouting on the mostly male audience members. I'm still glad I wore the dress again, tho, and I'm sure I can repair the strap. Here's what it looks like:

I'd love to remember the weird-sister band's name if anyone can help me. I think they were from Stuttgart?
