@a_nathanwest Can't see him with either plastic or, for that matter, € — cash and Schilling, all the way. Probably expected Siegfried Unseld to pay, in any case.

Hoping that the resuscitation of the Bräunerhof [https://t.co/eFle7IWDK7], Thomas Bernhard's favored hangout works out and that it doesn't entirely lose all its atmosphere. Looks like they're close to done with the new look.

@Twitchelmore And tell-tale mirrors; sure looks like it is.
