Friday beer garden

oi, Dave!

apparently there is bus-stop on the corner of Sankt-Cajetan-Strasse and Balanstrasse, just round the corner from your abode. The bus 54 leaves there at every 10 minutes, so 17:42, 17:52, 18:02. 25 minutes later it will drop you right outside the chinese tower (don't forget to press the button or the bus might not stop!). Think you manage that or shall i post a map?

And here is a handy Streifenkarte for you. Just stick it in the slit in the little blue box until it goes "ker-chunk!" Easy!

Bet you get a cab. I would.

Note that the buses on the 54 route are of the kind where you have to press a button on the outside of the bus to make the door open so you can get on.

Helpful hint for those heading there via the U3/U6: Exit Giselastrasse U-Bahn at the northern end, and you'll find the 54/154 bus stop just off Leopoldstr., in the Martiusstr. right beside the Don Luca bar/restaurant which is on that corner.

Tram addicts with a bus phobia can go via a totally different route and take the number 17 tram. Get off at Tivolistr. for the Chinese Tower, or Mauerkircherstr. for Catwalk.

Normally that's exactly what i do but tryin to be green today

OG is at the tower now enjoying his first mass.

He is sitting at the small rows of tables to the left of the tower when facing the Schenke.

I"m on my way there in 5 minutes.

well since i couldn't find anyone and i have other plans later, I am no longer at CT. have fun, those who turn up.

Very tempting GT...mind you the apocalyptic sky seems to have passed over Arabellapark now so I suppose I'll head to the CT after all!

I wandered about for ages looking for you and couldn't find you, that was about 6 ish

Actually the last post wasn't posted in this thread and nor was it meant to be ferchrissakes

I'm ptesuming that most ao anyonr here is sen as good 9ork

Het Sin, we are not as ugl;y as we were tomoorro.

Shit , that was painful. Just got home. PM me.

Hi GT & MG at CT H2O, at CW GT, HBA but no OG

well, from the looks of the posts, you lot had a good time

Spot on GT (Sin had the right idea too) - didn't know you had psychic powers! Glad you got your bus - unusual for a driver to stop when he's not at an official stop. Good night despite the soaking

Miserable buggers took down our beer shelters

A soggy night, inside and outside.

CatWalk excelled them selves. They were fairly full when I arrived and luckily got a table for 5, and told the waitress that another 15 would be arriving soon. They moved one or two and made enough space for us all, without any agro at all. Brilliant! I expect they've have had to do this before due to their proximity to the Chinese tower.

We witnessed the indigenous creatures fashion a makeshift hut from materials available near their nesting area.

It was exciting as the storm hit. People did not know what to do. Some stood in the rain, some sheltered at the shänke Others ran for the Catwalk. And some argued with the shelter police. But up to then is was calm and sunny and I counted 45 of us. And there was even an emotional moment when Editor Bob 'came out' to GreenTea!

I'd have thought he'd be much drier in his closet. or was it another sort of coming out.

Well, what a night! Maybe I should have gone straight to Catwalk and avoided a soaking, but then I would have missed the unforgettable experience of finally coming face to face with the Great One, Editor Bob. Oh dear ... I had waited so long for this moment, and there were so many things I had wanted to say ... but when the moment finally came, I was so overwhelmed by the awesomeness of it that all I could do was stammer: "Oh, my God!"

I think I may have started a new religion.

I also realised last night that the best conversations in fact take place outside, at the smoking breaks. Was having a great conversation about music with Ian and RS500Guy, then they left and I thought they'd gone home - till I found them outside. Maybe I should start smoking...

RS500Guy, check out Alexis Korner.


Oh, that's just my irresistible charm - stops the traffic every time.

It was a shame that we lacked the appropriate gehnemigung for our construction efforts by the CT, but it was probably drier there than running for Catwalk. Btw, RS500guy, you are a hero for not only managing to remain out the whole night but managing to the that photo loaded today.

Yep, the Chinese Tower Sub-Aqua club was kind of fun, but I was so wet that even my yo-yos were dripping when I paid at Catwalk. I must confess to taking one step outside Catwalk, noticing a conveniently placed taxi, saying "Sod that" and catching it home. I left BlueDave, amongst others discussing a gay parade with Ian.

Ah! I'd forgotten about that. Anyone want to join in? We're going to bring up the rear end.

Any updates for this week?

Weather is looking like it will be as good as last week.

Pschorrkeller in Viktualienmarkt?

Last Friday's weather was superb - full-on biergarten scorcher followed by an awesome apocalyptic storm with spectacular thunder and lightning. Tomorrow looks like being very tame in comparison.

I'm looking at a place with a better outside option. We'd like to be able to sit outside if at all possible.

If you want to do a Tollwood FBG, tomorrow will be the last chance.

Hello all you Soggy people,

Sorry about the weather.

I’ve booked all the high tables to the left of the door at Café Blue. They have seats outside in case the weather suddenly perks up.

Café Blue
Implerstrasse 2
Munich Isarvorstadt
Tel. 089 74664693
U3/6 Poccistrasse
(Take the front of the train coming from town, continue in the same general direction once above ground, under the bridge, Café Blue is on the next corner.)

I booked the tables in the name of “Daniel H. Wilson� who as you all know wrote that invaluable book that all modern households can’t do without: "How to Survive a Robot Uprising."

As usual every one is welcome, newbies and all, if you have problems finding us call or message me on 01733510658

Gwyn

Good pick sir.

Last time we went there we spent the evening discussing where to send Leisure Suit Larry and look what happened to him!

Hello, I moved to Munich a few days ago and don't know too many people yet, so I'll probably join you.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Christiane

PS What time do you usually meet?

Some will arrive around 6:30 and some later, the bulk is usually there by about 8

Well, nice to see somebody is taking responsibility for it at last. Are you gonna have it fixed soon?


Is that a very scary bridge? Coz I have a weird phobia about walking under bridges. Some are OK, but some send me into a totally inexplicable blind panic. Does anyone else suffer from this kind of thing, or is it just me?

I'll be there as per my usual M.O.

It's just you.

Oh well, thanks for confirming that I'm weird.

Yes I'm afraid to say as scary bridges go this one is fairly scary.

As I see it you have other options here are just a few:
You could go to Implerstr and walk back.
You could go to Kolumbus platz and cross back over the river...(Ah, you can't cross water either if I remember correctly!)
You could arrange to meet someone with a bag to put over your head and lead you under the bridge.
You could sing something jolly to yourself and just go for it.

You're not weird, you're just normality challenged!

In case you're serious, I will be arriving at Poccistrasse U-Bahn station at 19:06 assuming everything goes to plan and would be willing to guide you under said scary bridge!*

^{*We may have to run though, to avoid the Troll}.

I wonder who he is referring to?


Your M.O.? Did the army doc send you?


Yes Billy goat gruff!

Your M.O.? Did the army doc send you?

Modus Operandi old bean.

Yes, I wondered that too. Apparently it's not just any bulk, but a soggy bulk:


Somehow that just seems a little bit eeuuwww.

Done that before to get to Cafe Blue, but it feels like chickening out.


No, no problem crossing water - you must be thinking of someone else. Kolumbusplatz is miles away though.


See below.


Will probably go for that one. Best way to conquer fears is to meet them head-on. Need to think of a song to sing. Suggestions?


Ooh, a cavalier! If I'm there that early, I might keep the bag over my head til we get to Cafe Blue, and take it off later when everyone's wearing their beer goggles.

Theme tune form "A bridge too far"?

Tunnel of Love?

I could be persuaded to turn up a little early if anyone is interested, say 6 or so

Done. Meet you there.
