I'm really looking forward to this! Thanks for organising, Streeme - even if you do get a bit confused at times!

Review complete. You missed Xargon too (post #27)
Not easy without a sign-up sheet, eh.
I'm missing a good argument though. Still time for that before Thursday

Thanks.
Xargon informed by PM that he can't make it.

Jeeves, I agree. It´s almost boring without one

just noticed that the usual suspects are giving the Curry Night a miss this week in favour of the tuscan night hope we don't get curry withdrawn symptoms

I am still a maybe. Will let you know as soon as I can. Thanks for organizing, Streeme!

Thank you guys for joining.

Maybe: inka.

I would consider reservations closed since the room offers 14-18 seats.
In case that another group would join the event we might book another table tomorrow.
Any comment?
(Jeeves: please, report my mistakes)

Jeeves
thanks for deciphering my morse code for Streeme - otherwise would have had to share someone's piece of spaghetti... will spell it out clearly next time...!!!
Streeme
Just promise me I don't have to crawl out under the table this time...

Ok, I promise you a single little table in the center of our space where you'll be able to write hundred times a non-coded sentence. Useful when you'll order your food.

Good work, streeme, CN seems to have been cancelled in favor of TN this week. Looking forward to the event.

Best regards to Noirin who is missing the dinner.
We are still 16 since I'm definitely bringing a guest. Updated list below.

Update: Maybe I'll be a bit later (Elternsprechtag at school), and maybe Laura (friend of mine) will come along too.

is anyone getting there a bit earlier

This time I can't show up as late as at CNs.

I have free beer at work from 5 and I'd better not stay there until 8! So yeah, a tad earlier would be good.

Jeeves you get free beer at work all the time! Where on earth are you working?

What's the big deal? I get free wine at work all the time.

I'd like to start earlier too...maybe 7? Is there a wine bar or something nearby...so we can warm up?

First i am visiting a friend at the clinic near by. say 7.15 at the resturant

Actually I would prefer to go somewhere else, a bit more relaxed, and then turn up at the restaurant. Did you mean that...just meet at the restaurant and go somewhere else?

I will turn up outside the resturant 7.15 . if there is a place near by then i open to it

You got 32D-itis now too?

No one knows what is nearby? I really don't want to wait until 8 to eat. I am starrrrrving already.

yea you right might be the weather . making me very confused that even i don't understand what i wrote

@jeeves...what are you talking about?

Ok...let's meet at 7.15 then outside the restaurant and if there's a drinking pot 'in der Nähe' ok...well head there, if not restaurant?

The usual, Helena. And amazingly enough CK understood me.
Anyhow I don't know what time I'm getting out of here so I'm not committing to a time. See you there or somewhere in der Nähe.

I'll be there for 8, but if I can arrive early I will do and meet up with you in the Naehe (great pub) for some heterosexual drinks.

Totally new to this forum, but tonight sounds great! Can I still sign up?

Hi nycgirl.

Not sure, best post a PM to Streeme (he's organised it and will know if this is possible). There's a chance the PM will trigger an email to whereever he is and he'll respond.

TPWNN

nycgirl2s are always welcome at this sort of event, so just some along and we'll squeeze you in somehow

Great, I work down the street and my boss knows the owners and says this is one of the best Italian places in town. Meet you all then.

I just re-called the restaurant. We've got place for 18, but probably not all sitting at the same table.
Who knows me also knows that I love standing up sometimes, take walks around and bother the other people sitting (and eating), especially when getting food later than them..

Right well my free beer is over but I couldn't pronounce nycfrfsgerl2 even if I was sober. You'll fit right in
Now I just have to crawl the two blocks...

REALLY sorry I had to leave early. but had to sort things out at home (teenage-daughter problems), damned tired now and missing my wine.
hope my dinner was good (maybe I saved Antony from starving as the waiter constantly ignored his attempts to order?).
hope you had a great time, next time I will hopefully stay for longer!

- the guys sitting in the room next to ours asked me what kind of meeting we had- they guessed that this was some sort of apostolic church meeting or maybe something to do with sex. (they seemed to have had some fun guessing)

well I explained them TT and invited them to read the comments in the events section the next day so they would know about what was going on.

Tonight was very lovely! Thank you Streeme for organizing this. The waiter we had was excellent and the food was yummy. I had a great time meeting new people and hearing their stories and also seeing some faces that I hadn't seen in a while. Warm fuzzies all over. Great talking to everyone!

I owe you 20.00-4.30=15.70€. Your trippa has been eaten without any issue, since the waiter ignored an italian (with sothern californian accent) sentence containing the word "order".

Best TT event I've been to so far - people circulated much more than usual and the food was fantastic. Thanks so much for organising, Streeme!

Great event Streeme - thanks for organising it - good food, great venue- and even a waiter with a sense of humour...really enjoyed meeting new faces and seeing some that I'm starting to recognise (through the wine haze...)

Daisy - enjoy Rome
Tiggi - think Venice (even if Munich attemps to compete with the water!)

great resturant thanks for the organising streeme,kind of nice having our own room , might be a idea to make this once a month event , same resturant,same room etc

I really enjoyed last night, nice people, good conversation, good food and a bird-whistling waiter for entertainment! So thanks to streeme for such a good idea and the organisation.

And I heartily agree with coolerking...it would be nice to have this as a once a month event...?

Thanks again Streeme. A very good evening enhanced by an entertaining waiter, even if he did ignore Anthony. The food was pretty good too!

Great meet-up, Streeme. Wonderful location - that separate room was great; the food was good and the Vin Santo & Biscotti a treat. Thanks so much for organizing.

I'm glad you've appreciated the new TN. I thought something different could be a nice idea.
Again: thank you for joining and see you next time.

Two thumbs up for the wonderful dinner

I felt as though we were the VIP within the restaurant and this really reminds me of my Dim Sum Sunday afternoon (Yum CHA in Chinese restaurant) with my family in Singapore.

I would highly recommend for any lovers looking for romantic evening or just like us for big groups having an evening of good food and companion.

Keep it up Streeme!

Really enjoyed last night! Good food, great company - what more can one ask for?

Thanks for organizing, Streeme!

It was delicious, thank you.



Generally speaking, ignoring Anthony is usually a good strategy.

Dario, thanks for the great evening, in a separate room that was wonderfully smoke-free, thanks to the considerate smokers that were present, including my twin brother from a different mother, coolerking. When I left the room, I was quickly reminded, by the smoke, that I am still in Germany

Next time I go, I will be bringing my baseball bat to make sure the waiter takes my order.
