Gentle Rain Magazine – Issue 2

Gentle Rain Magazine Issue 2 is available now on loremnotipsum.com. It’s time to make it rain again. The editorial team drank tequila shots with the best barkeeper in the city (Betty Kupsa, Chug Club) and partied with space sergeants in cellars on the fish market (Golem). Journalist Arne Schulz went to the Wild East of Hamburg to track down simple truths and ended up brooding over complicated building plans. For the cover story, Jonathan Engel – a recent tenant of the Beatles’ old apartment on the Reeperbahn – wrote up what remains of the legend. Photographer Frederike Wetzels visually conjured the spirit of those times in their attic flat.

After issue 01, we received feedback by readers in Hamburg, in London, New York, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur or Martinique – and of course we’re looking forward to hearing from you again. Tell us what you like or don’t like, what you missed or would like us to report on.
