Pots of Evil - Friday evenings during Advent

I'm away from TT at the moment but here's a date to put in your diaries.
It's the little hut on the Rindermarkt The Feuerzangebowle is so deadly we call it "Pots of Evil"!

There's skulls on the walls, a dead goat in "our" corner and a wee bit of eye candy. We are known to sing.
They pour rum over burning sugar into the Glühwein and then you can get EXTRA rum added:
It's Friday-after-work-drinks-and-wake-up-under-a-bush-tastic!

the first one is two weeks this friday, innit?
Nov 25th is the kick-off

Start lining your stomachs now. It is wise.

Aye but I'll be in a 747 heading for the beaches in Queensland!

YES!!!

oh lordy. my first pots of evil outing resulted in me waking up on my couch significantly later, not entirely too clear on how I got there, with an enormous bag of miscellanous xmas kitsch next to me. oh the horror.

so you're up for the 25th then Tops?

wow you people must be really busy if you need to plan things 5 weeks in advance !

I see we haven't yet met, 6784kqe, or you would understand.

Resistance is futile.

yes, i'll be there on 25th, all being well
don't forget to eat something before you go, get your stomach nicely lined beforehand
it's dangerous stuff, but fab

I am so up for trying the Pots of Evil! We will have guests in town, but I'd love to make it if I can.

no pots of evil this year, only kinder punch. wont make the first one due to a previous engagement but fingers crossed for the second.

P

pots of evil available in erding at the moment. they've set up their icerink in the main square prior to the xmas market to get some early trade in. well it's smart business to me and i'll happily hand over the moolah in exchange for the bastard little pots! another reason to look forward to moving there very soon.

may well also steam into the big city for this event too. woohoohahahahaaa

would love to attend, but unfortunately, that is the weekend, I agreed to work on Saturday!

My first Pots of Evil. Good job it's not a school night.

im hoping there will be POE on the 16th of December.its the only available date for me.
dont forget me!

Bucket, there WILL be Pots of Evil on the 16 December. I'll need something warm and stiff inside me to get back used to the cold Munich weather!

since when was the weather an excuse?

Well that was a pretty obvious starter for 10 wasn't it!

you worry me.

it will get worse before it gets better...

It will get much worse after that.

I will see you all in two weeks.

I can feel the pull all the way from Edinburgh... must... resist... evil...

only two weeks...! thats actualy very scary. got to get the christmas presants for austrailia.

All of Australia? That's a bit generous and spendy for a Yorkshireman innit?

Is Friday 25th the first night this place is open? Or is it just the first night you guys are meeting up?

First night it is open (is the Friday before first Advent Sunday, Tollwood opens the night before).

All sounds very good fun & games - but I cannot stand rum, and don't really like that mulled wine stuff either. I'll turn up with a few hidden bottles of beer down me socks.

Not that I want to get people concerned, but there is still a big empty place where the pots of evil stand used to be.

Oh and which smart alec and pots of evil regular has registered the name "pots of evil"???

P

patience is a gift of god dear pootle.

@Don Riina - I don't like Gluehwein either. Am hoping they have mead. Mmmm mead.

oh I thought it was you poots, hence "poots of evil"

Someone called?

It's like panto!



Yea Poots of Evil!

Its behind you!

P of E

Oh no it's not.

Mmm, mead. I have a friend that brews it. Also drank a lot at Kaltenburg this summer.

Anyone know if mead is common anywhere in the markets? It's like a honey-flavored pot of evil, if you haven't had it. People get pretty wasted since it's really sweet (like a juice for kids), yet 12-15% ABV.

Haven't seen mead at the Christmas markets but hot caipirinhas and hot cherry beer seem to be quite popular.

i may be wrong but i seem to remember seeing it last year at the Winter Tollwood on the Wies'n.

Can't seem to find a time when everyone's meeting up. I have capoeira till 7pm in Arabellapark, and depending on whether shower (yey!) or not (stinky!) at home.. I could make it maybe 1.5-2 hours later. What did you have in mind?

@ER - I've seen it before, e.g. at the Weissenburgerplatz Chrstkindlmarkt. Yummy!

@One51 - check out the medieval market which Katrina posted about - they're sure to sell it. Otherwise, they've started selling bottles at Viktualienmarkt (near the Müller stand (ish)).

I can kind of back up OG, because I think I've seen mead at Tollwood as well. I don't really like it, which is weird because I do like honey and most sweet drinks.

Mead can definitely be found at Tollwood. There's a stand that sells it outdoors and there is also a guy in the gourmet food tent (last year in the back corner) that does different kinds of meads (cherry, raspberry, blueberry and at least five other kinds). He gave us copious quantities of free samples last year--there was a small group of people, including the two people running the stand, getting slowly drunk. If you like mead you should try Bärenfang, a honey liqueur. Usually it can be found at the places selling mead (I've seen it at Tollwood and at Viktualienmarkt).

Hallo UA,

Welcome to poots of evil...

Theres a small problem in your plan. poots of evil starts around 4-5pm, depending on what time you are out of work (oh forgot your an EPO fluffy bunny )... The stand normally shuts down around 8pm, so you might be pushing it a bit tight. Forget the caparaera dancy swing your pants thing and come to Poots of Evil (cue manic laughter)

HAHAHAHAHA


P of E

I did hear a marvellous rumour that PofE would be open until 8.30pm this year.
But still, you'd be pushing it if your doodah doesn't finish until 7pm

More Po(o)ts of Evil facts:
Yes, it's open until 8:30pm for sales.
No they don't sell mead but hot mead ("Met") can be had from the honey stall in the Viktualienmarkt or at the medival market (see other thread) as I saw carry-out/take-away hot mead sold there last Thursday when I was buying my veggies.
No, they don't sell food so do what I do and order Shaggy to bring you sausages from other stands (which he did).

OK, OK, I can take a joke, but come Friday Poots of Evil is going to face me and wake up Saturday with the second worst headache of his life.

I am Pots of Evil. Fear my alcohol and sugar content.

Because I don't actually believe that the person behind the log-in "Pots of Evil" has ever actually attended one single Pots of Evil meet-up, no I think not.

Oh, I didn't realise it was so early. I finish work at 3.30pm then have sports till 4pm, then have capoeira 5.30-7pm, so could theoretically come for half an hour between the two, but that would then mean not being able to drink any mead/caipirinhas or whatever so would defeat the object and be very stressful. Darn. I can't miss next week's capoeira as I'm then off on holiday so will be missing a load of lessons anyway. Ah well, drink one for me!

I see you, the horse you rode in on, that ugly bint you brought with you, and I piss on your parade.

I am Poots of Evil, legend of drinking, master of dead goats, keeper of the clay cups.

I alone will call people together for Poots of Evil, no other shall come before me. You are not worthy to drink in my presence you lowly imposter, you misfit, you freak of nature.
