HI
ON
WANDERING WONDERCOOL
I
TâS SNOWING again. For a brief few days at the start of February, I â in my naivety â thought the days were getting warmer, the month getting sunnier and the oppressive wind getting friendlier. The Danes just laughed at me: âYou havenât seen the real February yet.â They were right. More snow. But Iâve always been of the mindset that one shouldnât fret about things they cannot change; itâll drive you crazy. And, seeing as I just lost Mother Natureâs number, I really canât do anything about the snow getting in my eyes while I bike into town. I guess I simply have to lower my expectations for a while. Now, a patch of blue sky can elevate my day infinitely. If the sun shines for five minutes, Iâm as happy

as a clam and I canât stop grinning. I still have about seven layers on, but at least it feels like my toes are thawing. Or maybe Iâll just step into Føtex and warm up the artificial way. Itâs a helpful reminder that there are great things to do around the city during Wondercool to keep me from lying in bed all day, feeling miserable amid the grey. Dining Week is about to wrap up this Sunday, and itâs a steal to be dining on three-course meals at these restaurants for 200 kroner. I spent a freezing Tuesday evening with some friends at CafĂŠ Kanalen and got fed the most delectable veal Iâve ever had. The Jason Moran show (see G13 for details) at the Copenhagen JazzHouse is a sure-fire winner and bound to fend off the freezing winds this Sunday. And maybe you could
stop by CafĂŠ Retro for the free Trio Andromeda show on Friday (G15). If Mother Nature isnât too cruel this weekend, I might go up to Louisiana and take advantage of the free Saturday Tour or go on the walk through Frederiksstaden on Sunday (G13). And if she decides to wreak havoc upon our sanity and send more snow our way, a hyggeligt brunch at DAC& CafĂŠ sounds like the way to go (G14). I know I have to keep myself occupied if I donât want to merely suffer through another month in Copenhagen. If I canât change the weather, I have to adapt. The sun might peek out at some point from behind the sheet of slate that is now our sky. When it does, be sure to say hello. Until then, enjoy Wondercool and stay warm. AMY STRADA
