For those of you eagerly awaiting the opening of Die Koelner Bierhalle on St. Marks near 4th Avenue -- an authentic, 4,000 square foot German beer hall with a giant back garden that will satisfy up to 200 drinkers at a time with 30 German beers on tap, 40 bottled brews and tasty bratwurst and kielbasa -- you might have to settle for elsewhere a tad bit longer.

Show Me Yours: 1-Bedroom (with Office) on 6th Avenue

Photo by Park Slope Lens

SHOW ME YOURS is a recurring column in which we do two things: show you Park Slope real estate and tell you how much it is. That's pretty much it!

Here's our latest victim Show Me Yours-er:

  • Location: 6th Avenue between 16th St and Prospect
  • Type: Two-bedroom (one is used as an office) with a patio
  • Rent or Own: Rent
  • Cost: $2150/month
  • Square Footage: 1000 sq feet
  • How Did You Find This Place: We found it through a broker which was totally worth it. Our landlords live downstairs and are amazing.
  • Amenities: Washer/Dryer in the basement, air conditioner, lots of windows, brick wall, new fridge and dish washer, Patio with edible grapevine, lofted area for the occasional overnight guest.
  • Who Calls this Place Home: A blogger and animator boyfriend who works from home.
  • What’s really good about this joint:  We have tons of storage and a walk-in closet. Having room for an office was really important for the sake of our relationship. It's centrally located near our friends and ideal for having people over.
  • What’s really bad about this joint: Nothing really, worst thing is the yellow-tinged linoleum in the kitchen.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CELEBRATE BROOKLYN ARTISTS: WILD FLAG AND MISSION OF BURMA

Wild Flag (via smilepolitely.com)

Everyone, put on your rock sunglasses -- or whatever clothing item you wear for the rockness (punk underwear? devil beanie?). Celebrate Brooklyn brings the power chords and downbeats to Prospect Park this Friday with the alt-rock supergroupdom of Wild Flag, and the sweet post-punk of Mission of Burma. NYC punk veteran Ted Leo opens.

But seriously, the dream of the '90's is alive and well here. Wild Flag is a supergroup that actually works, formed from the alt-indie milieu of bands that hit post-Cobain. Carrie Brownstein, who's also pretty great at putting birds on things, fronts the band. Those of you who wore flannel when it was first cool, though, will remember her from Sleater-Kinney, a riot grrrl group out of Olympia, WA formed in '94. Drummer Janet Weiss also hit skins for Sleater-Kinney, and later for indie-idol Conor Oberst and Pavement front-man Stephen Malkmus. The other members, all friends before starting the band, also hail from indie and post-punk groups. Here they are rocking "Future Crimes" in their natural setting (Portland):
