Friday the 13th: Gen's leaving do in Frankfurt

I've been warned not to leave without a party, so here it is. I've had a great time in Frankfurt and liked it more than I thought I would, but it is time to go. I've got a contract in Munich waiting for me and a bigger apartment that I can't wait to get back to. Oh and hubby misses me too.

Ben had his leaving do at the Chicago Meatpackers and I've been obsessed with the idea of the Onion Loaf since seeing one being brought to the table next to ours... it's big, it's fried, and it's onions. Mmmmm. Please come share one with me there because I know I can't eat it all myself!

19:00 Chicago Meatpackers
Friday, Oct. 13

reservation under the name Cory (in the nonsmoking zone!)

Do post here so I know if the reservation has to be upped or lowered. Also all you people in Mainz, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt (Sally, Caroline!) Heidelberg (BillyWong!) etc. -- it's the weekend! Make your hotel arrangements now!

If you don't show then you have to come to Munich to see me. Visitors welcome!

Don't go if Jason Voorhees signs up.

?

My colleague Jens is coming too, just posting for him as he's not got a login.

I'll be there... No doubt about that

will be there for sure Gen!

Hi Gen,

I am afraid I will be in Yorkshire on the 13th si I won´t be able to make it ! Have a fantastic night and I will look you up for a few drinks the next time I am in Munich.

Caroline

oh now I get the Jason thing after about four people've said it. Ha ha ha.

Can i come? I'm a newbie just moved from UK to Wiesbaden...I should be able to make the meal and a few beers before the last S bahn home leaves.

Oh certainly I should have mentioned that NEWBIES ARE WELCOME -- you won't be newbies for long!

Hi Gen

I'll be there! This time I'll be drinking (yikes!)

Job's a good un. Guess i'll see you all there then
Can someone give me the address and nearest U or S bahn please?

Cheers!

Sorry for being as thick as a whale omelette...i've just found the link to the map. D'oh. Not far from Hauptbahnhof so easy to stagger onto the train home

Jeeeeeze we'd better warn the restaurant in advance !!!

yeah I would say that's not really news but hey...

Will also be there :-)

hooray!

Hi SC52081! Back from Sunny Florida and manage to fight off the Alligators? Will be great to see you again!

@Gen, I know there will also be S-Bar Mike coming (you can ask him how he got his nickname when you meet him!), and also Joanne from Heidelberg. So please add 2.
If I manage to drag any others up from Heidelberg, I will tell you...

S-Bar Mike? Hope it's a better story than Lassie's, whose tale didn't involve a dog at all. Ah and Joanne I know already. Great!

Hmm Elfenstar's in Heidelberg environs a lot, I think I'll pm her...

A couple people have asked to confirm "is this the place with the little train that runs around the ceiling?" Yes, it is.

Yes I will be there

I have asked +1 he has not replied yet but I imagine so.

Hooray! No more BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!

Actually I think my thread title sounds more and more like a rock concert the more I read it -- with Meat Loaf's kid, Onion Loaf.

And do not be deterred by the fact that I've changed my profile location back to Munich-Isarvorstadt. (I actually live in the Schlachthofviertel, but Editor Bob only wants to use the official district names...)

Anyway I'll be back on Friday to do some touristy stuff on the weekend. Maybe I'll finally get on that Ebbelwoi-Express, to the Schirn and Städel...

cool, do the schirn! They have just started a cool exhibition on native americans and the wild west

oh my friggin god if that's full of... damn that one artist whose name I can't remember but I can't stand him... the one who does those sad indian sculptures... then I won't go.

http://www.schirn-kunsthalle.de/index.php?...l&id=69&lang=en

fair enough ! not sure who your talking about though

might be this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Earle_Fraser

but I would swear there's another one. Fraser shouldn't be at the Schirn though, as it's about German artists, so it should be ok.

Oops dropped one, Joanne can't come now. Working on 2 others though!

No.10, perhaps she may come if you sent her an e-mail, and exercised your amazing persuasive charms?

ah ok, now i know the guy you mean... and no i don't think there's any of his stuff there.

Well it's worked before so it's worth a poke.. i'll see what i can do

worth a poke? I hope she takes that as a compliment...

ooops .. bad word choice...

erm...

(slang english) poke = punt / shot / go / try / stab / attempt and so on ...

mmm...but then again...

Yay!! count me in!
and looking forward to hearing what you've all been up to while i was sunning myself in valencia (sorry, working I meant to say... )

we know the truth.

Also got you down for GNO girlie are you still coming?

Thats a big 10-4

Over

Sooooo there. Hopefully won't get as drunk as I have done on previous occasions (waking up with no idea of how the hell I got home and who I managed to p off)!!

Also just seen that on the list I'm 13th for a do happening on Friday 13th.

AARRGGHHH!! Not that I'm superstitious or anything...

Ha, now I know who boogielicious is! Don't forget that special T-Shirt!

Sorry to miss the party!

Wow, that is quite a list, any room for 2 more? My g/friend and I are keen to meet up with fellow English speakers so looking forward to joining some of the events you guys organise

By the way, you had us laughing at some of the discussions on the message boards!!!
