daily mirror editor Tilmann Warnecke is even for cards and reports:

“I’ve been sitting here since 7.20 am and have brought me a blanket. So I’ve made it at least to # 17 in my series and the last place on the red carpet caught. The first Waiting were organized, as always, in the night with sleeping bags in front of the ticket counter, others have brought camping chairs. What I find very beautiful: It is located in the snake friendly ‘Good Morning’ (in Berlin!) and chatting with the Mitwarte about movies and their own experiences with the Card.

a Total of just arcades at half past ten o’clock nearly 200 people in here at the Potsdamer Platz in order to get Berlinale Tickets. Out in the cold thank God, must be no man.
