R.I.P.
MONIKA PALLESEN

I have only few personal info on Monika Pallesen, who died on friday night.

But Monika, was untill a few years ago the owner of copenhagen-bar Cafe Intime, a classic hide-out at Frederiksberg which bid welcome every thinkable gender and age with immense warmth. Other than being the perfect hostess, Monika was graced with an incredible voice, which she on more occassions shared with a very loyal audience. A crossover between Billie Holiday and Lill Lindfors.

I have more than one time entered the cafe ready to blow, but with the ambience and friendliness with which you are always met, left lighthearted and senseless. I have shared many precious moments at the bar with locals and friends from The Big Abroad, who all agree, that this is one of the most original corners of danish cultural life.

I wish all the best for Monika and her family, and all the best for the new owners of Cafe Intime, who over the last years have succeded to keep the place running acoordingly to the style Monika guarenteed by her presence. I guess that the essential word describing her, and the bar: style.

Godspeed Monika and thank you
