1st Toytown BBQ of the year - Friday 27th May starting around 5pm

The weather forcast is for 30 degree sunshine all day
http://wetter.rtl.de/deutschland/vorhersag...HEN&near=&tag=2

We plan to meet up in one of the BBQ spots in the English garden near to Studentenstadt.

This is not a formal event we will not charge you entance fees, all you need to do is bring your own food and drink.
Anyone who has a BBQ grill and or charcoal that they can bring along would be of great help. If people don't bring them then there won't be much cooked food!

The place we are going to has a large grass area, perfect for football, touch rugby or frisbee. So also bring balls etc!

There is also a river there to keep your drinks cool.

Please see HERE for directions

All are welcome!!

Uh, don't you mean "grilling out"? blink.gif

I don't know about you, eurovol, but I've only ever been to BBQs. Never heard of this "grilling out" thing.
Jeeves
Nor have I from the other side of the Atlantic. Tennessee dialect perhaps? Or a translation of the German?

Barbecuing is NOT Grilling!
There are dozens of other sites with even more history of the tradition. cool.gif

Only to überanal purists. To the rest of us, they're the same thing.

Yup all the same, Burn stuff, pretend it's food, drink beer to get rid of the taste.

Boy scout cooking really !

The event itself: BBQ
The equipment used: A BBQ that may or may not have a grill part
The action: BBQing, grilling could also be used if one is ONLY using the grill part of the BBQ.

In fact with modern gas BBQs you hardly ever see the grill part anymore, only the hotplate, so unless you are lucky enough to have a proper charcoal BBQ with a grill part, BBQ would be the more correct verb to use.
eurovol
Oh shut up the lot of you. wink.gif

Don't click this link unless you know what BBQ is.
Or this one either. cool.gif
Eric the Hamster
@Eurovol - Whatever - I think people get the point!
Jeeves
Eurovol, go groom your grill wink.gif
JoolyBooly
my God, you got to organise an event and get flooded with twit-twat happy.gif

And what about my good karma, it was my idea!! laugh.gif

Please post if you want to come. Good pick of position Eric, that's right near the Aumeister for a nice beer garden later on...

There is also the cheapy shop opposite Butlers in Tal which has flat-pack mini BBQ's for €3.99, not bad...

I shall bring a BBQ/grill/whatever, so that'll do if no-one else does. Also will bring some candley things for lighting later on cool.gif

I may be along with my friend visiting from the US but can't say for sure.

Sorry ETH, it has just been confirmed that i will indeed be sunning myself on the shores of Lake Garda by 5pm Friday, so won't see. shame looks like perfect weather for cooking food over charcoals (carefully trying to avoid the use of the words "Grill" or "BBQ")
JoolyBooly
oh well, have fun and enjoy the rigby wink.gif
brokenm
Sounds great, i may bring two friends...
JoolyBooly

gideon

Are introverts also welcome? huh.gif
gideon

everybody and there dog is allowed to turn up silly... its a TT BBQ!
butterbean
is this an FKK event? wink.gif
quarblotz
butterbean, you get happy karma for asking! smile.gif

@ owain glyndwr (i think)

the hamster continues to apologize profusely and slurredly about the physical damage to your face acquired during football celebrations.

he also says, "so who's actually coming on friday?"
JoolyBooly
me! me! Yes, seems most people are scared to commit, as they're saving their livers for Andechs. But this is all about chillin' out in the park, not a piss-up. Seems to be about 10 of us so far, that's cool

If you're wondering how to get there, I can recommend the DB call-a-bike if you don't have a bike. I hired 3 to get us home from the Chinesischer Turm last night, it's really easy. You just need to find a bike which is free (green flashing light on lock), then call the number on the bike using your mobile phone, having a credit card number ready. It costs 7 cents per minute, a lot cheaper than a cab! wink.gif
Kza
Well I was considering it, but whats all this about a bike and a cell phone and a credit card? Sounds a bit complicated, can I drive or take a train? Im still not totally confident I can find the place. Kind of hard to carry a BBQ, charcoal, meat and beers on a bike anyway.
JoolyBooly
sure you cna drive, walk, bus, all sorts.

It's easy to find the general area we'll be in, then if in doubt PM me for a mobile number to help find us.

Look at the map in the first post, it's the U-Bahn "Studentenstadt" and then a stroll across to the park, apparently 10 minutes (www.mvv-muenchen.de).

Are you bringing a BBQ then? would save me carrying one...
Kza
Still working it out, looks like I might just bring one of those disposable BBQs as environmentally unfriendly as they are, and just walking from the Studenenstadt U Bahn.
gideon
depending on weather a client really fucks me up and demands a meeting on monday i'll drop by. jb could you bring an extra couple of beers for me? ta.
Eric the Hamster
OK, i'll be there from about 5 and i will brind a disposable BBQ, if JB brings one aswell that should be more than enough for the amount of people we have.

I got a bit fried in the sun yesterday but looking forward to a relaxing time in the evening sun.
JoolyBooly
fried? just you wait, you'll scream when you see us. 6 hours in a pool in erding, we don't need a grill, you can cook on our skin!

will bring the beers I owe Monsieur Gideon, and a mini grill. Anyopne got toys? Think my toys are in dead car on other side of town...

any newbies coming? all are welcome! Just PM me for my number to make sure you can find us wink.gif
Eric the Hamster
i havn't got any toys --- will see what i can find in the mean time
RB-Tee
The weather is really nice today! cool.gif I will be coming...
CodeRed
Careful with renting the DB bikes and then going outside of Mittlerer Ring. That costs you an extra 10 bucks.

As there seems to be no sport activity tonight, I might just makeit out for a bit and say hi.

You keep mentioning this car...hasn't it gotten towed yet?
Eric the Hamster
no toys but i have got enough paper plates, knives and forks for about 20 people, i also have a few platsic cups for any wine the in brought (i will bring a bottle along)

I couldn't find a disposable bbq/grill in the area but i did find a cheap reusable bbq /grill at tenglemann for only 5 euro!!!

c u you all there
