Meetup at Rheingauer Wine Fair

Right then. Seriously now, hows up for this? Just had a word with Gen and it looks like she'll be there on Wednesday evening, so is there anybody else? Or are you going to subject the poor girl to just my company that evening?

Was thinking of meeting at 6:30 or 7 up by the Frankfurter Volksbank and working our way through. Answers on a post card. Or failing that, drop me a PM for my number so we can arrange.

ttfn

Inseläffchen, you happen to have an address for that Frankfurter Volksbank? I can bring my Famous Green Umbrella for a marker too.

I'm great with directions, just as long as they don't involve street names!!! If you come from the Haubtwache and head towards the Fressgasse, on the right hand side is a Frankfurter Volksbank. Just on the corner of Borsen Strasse and Große Bockenheimer straße (which is the Fressgasse).

EDIT: Just had to change a few typos. Bloody german keyboards...

that corner?

Close but no Bananna.

This is the kiddie...

EDIT:

File didn't download. Hang on a mo...

Here

EDIT: OH for §$%&§% sake!!!

Bloody green arrow moved!!! AAARRRGGGHHHHH.

Anyway... Find Haubtwache on the map. Follow Biebergasse towards Alte Oper. You'll see all the tents and stuff fairly easily. It's on the right hand side. Trust me you'll see it.

Damn I need a beer...

dude that's the same link I posted. Börsenstr. 1. EDIT: oh, you edited.

maybe you meant Börsenstr. 12 or so, that's that corner: here

but the frankfurter volksbank didn't list a branch anywhere else on Börsenstr... I'm trying to get a map of the bank branch because that's where you suggested meeting up.

I know, but the bloody arrow moved. Grrrrrrr. The arrow on your link ( and mine apparently) was a few streets off.

Yet another edit:

Yes that is exactly where I meant!! The branch might have closed, but you can certainly see Frankfurter Volksbank on the building wall.

Whatever happens, you'll see the Tents and stuff. Just hang about in that area. You can bring the famous umbrella. I'll be easy to recognise. I'll be the guy wearing glasses and a suit. Or is that joke getting old...

Have fun folks.

I'll probably be back in town on Thursday if we fancy any sort of drinkies then

yes äffchen the joke is old. and yes PM if this thing is as good as you say it is I suspect we'll be up for another evening of it. I just read in the Train Magazine about how German Wine is fantastic etc etc etc and maybe some of the wineries mentioned in the article will be there...

Oy vey, it looks like Thursday might be better for me after all. Work colleagues are going to grill tomorrow and I'd really be missing out if I didn't go... they've been planning it for a long time too, just kept postponing it because of the crappy weather...

OK, I'll see you on Thurs. evening. And this time I promise I'll eat something first :-) What time?

maybe 7 so it's still light out? I should be able to get out of work by then too...

ok. done deal then.

btw. good to see you did the skating. would love to do it ...but ...can't skate, so that's a bit of a prob. isn't it :-/

OK then. Thursday sounds good to me too!

7 pm at the perhaps formerly bank then -- just a reminder!

I'll be up for coming tonight... haven't visited it yet...where's the meeting spot?

there should be a frankfurter Volksbank here

but there might not be. Inselaffe isn't good with directions but we decided on the corner of Börsenstrasse and Kalbächer Gasse... anyway I'll have the famous green umbrella for anyone who doesn't know what I look like.

Inselaffe does indeed look like his profile pic too.

I have your handy number Number 10, if anyone else wants mine just drop a PM my way and we can getcha straightened out.

Well i'm sure we'll find eachother somehow.. think i know the volksbank actually... but keep that umbrella high just incase eh !!

maybe you could wear the hat from your profile picture sometime? that'd be easy to find too...

And a good time was had by all. Pics please, esp me catching raindrops.

Good morning all. Head is OK, probably because I drank gallons of water when I got home. Here's one of the 10 thousand links I promised last night

endurance50

Please remind me of the others?

Pics will have to wait until this evening I'm afraid. Smartftp is not working atm?

Gotta go to work now. :-(

n

I don't remember any more things you wanted to post. We'll have to write them down next time. Is the SmartFTP working yet? You can upload stuff into the gallery without FTP too if it's not.

Right then, my brain's working a bit better now

The Legend

Link 2 (for Inselaffe) one of my faves:
Wine, glorious wine

and last, but not least, a very long time ago in my life: pilot was a man - friend of my father - who later tragically died of a heart attack

ftp now works:

wines were drunk

oh my goodness my helmet's more ridiculous looking than I thought. The colors are good though, and my eyes as squinty as always. Means I'm having a good time.

Hi all,

Well that was a good night out! Some good pics too. Gonna have to wait for mine though. Mislaid the cable for my phone but I'll get it sorted out soon!

Good pics there Nick. For everybody looking at the glider, that's just like the one I managed to crash.

And Gen, what do you mean I'm not good at directions???
