Ernst sein

Every friday the austrian newspaper ‘Der Standard‘ has an insert called 'Rondo'. This friday there was a very nice article about our friend Ernst.

It can mean 'to be Ernst' or it means 'not to be funny' and that in fact isn't the strength of Mr. Bernsteiner.

Hot Summer Nites #5

This friday the last 'Hot Summer Nites' event for 2008!

Air Meets Burger 2008
