TT BBQ Archive - Sunday 1st August 2004

Sounds great- see you all there

Since I haven't been able to digest meat from Germany (i have unwantingly become a vegetarian), is it okay that I bring homemade sushi? (no raw fish in it though, I haven't been able to find any fresh sashimi quality fish either) Do people going to this BBQ like sushi? If so, let me know so I can prepare more.

love Sushi and all Japanese food. IT is just too expensive for my moth-ridden little wallet

The first rule to learn about Toytown, Toronto, is that there are no rules. If you want to bring fish-free sushi to a TT BBQ, then you should. Obey the Nike advertising slogan

Well, looks like I'm probably gonna be there as well as Italy plans are falling through for me.

One thing we were lacking last time was a radio/CD player. Anybody have a decent battery powered setup?

Yeah DW, I've got one that'll do the job nicely. I'll put in the car with the other stuff.

I am presuming that I cannot drive directly to the BBQ spot, so I may need to ask for some assistance in carrying some stuff over there.

Please add Tom17 and I to the list. We usually bbq at Flaucher but this spot sounds cool.

We will bring a bbq along as well.

We are newbies to TT events (although not to the forum) so looking forward to meeting you all!

@keydeck - no worries carrying stuff. If you're driving, will you be drinking? And Blimeygirl - will look forward to meeting you.

Sadly Jimbo I'll be making the ultimate sacrifice.

Are you insane? TT'ers are unbearable unless you're caned. Is there no way you could leave the car there and collect in early on Monday, or even have somebody collect it for you? I've driven on the right now, and I have Monday off if you see what I'm saying...

We'll see what happens. I'll speak to you before Sunday.

parking shouldn't be a problem on sunday in the Grasmeierstrasse, for those of you who are driving.

btw. can't seem to find it in the thread (am I blind? ) but what time are we meating (misspelled on purpose to infer double entendre )?

14:30 sticks in my mind, but I could be wrong...if you're gonna be there you could perhaps bring a touch rugby ball along - I'd be keen to give it a quick spin just to see what it's all about...

great minds think alike. I was planning to force you (loud crack of whip) to play touch before allowing any eating and drinking .

Remember druneknly discussing this last night so I might come long.

TT BBQ virgin and all that.

We just bought a portable stereo/CD/MP3 player. So there shall be music!

Hi Guys,

Two questions from the meetup newbie:

1. How are you all about bring kids to stuff like this here grill party? Do many Toytowners have kids?

2. Is it cool to bring a German friend (who speaks English), or does that dilute it somehow, or...?

Thanks in advance.

I had no problem when I brought my son with me to Andechs. He was perfect and everybody loved playing with him.

the weather ain't looking so hot for tomorrow

that link didn't work like I wanted it to. Go to vorhersage then münchen.

Of course it's fine to bring kids. They're just little people after all and you can teach them great new stuff like throwing gravel and other things like that.

As for your German friends, very simply, the more the merrier.

And Leeza, there's a couple of other new people coming along (like Toronto), so you're not the only one

The time is 2:30pm, instructions for how to get to the place are given earlier in the thread. I've already given my mobile number to quite a few people so don't be shy about asking if you want a contact.

Bring it on

our plans for the weekend have changed, so looks like we'll be in town. hope it's not too late to say pao and i are coming...it'll be our first TT BBQ too!

I plan on getting a crate of beer. Also bringing a football along.

Hope it isn't too late for me to join in the BBQ tomorrow? It'll be good to finally meet up with a few more TTers. See you there.

It's never too late for anyone to come along and you don't need to ask, just show up and have a good time.

I've just been out doing the essential shopping, beer & meat!

Another late addition...

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Hi,
just discovered your invitation.
Love to come.
A warning for the purists:
I am born *in* Germany, grew up some here, grew up some more in the U.S.
Have Irish-German parents.

Can't conceal the fact (and do not want to) that my passport is German.
Just explaining this in deatil 'cause I got a welcome flame when signing up recommending that I get right back out again.

Margret

i wanna go

but everything is closed on sundays... how am i supposed to get food to bring?

that forecast that I posted is shite

margaret, come along! There are always some natives, and plenty of non-native English speakers at Toytown events. "Munich's native English speaking crowd" isn' totally correct.

MatchNL. Don't sweat it. Last time we had too much food. I'm sure people will allow you their scraps

MatchNL, you should have thought of it yesterday. Anyway, you can get basic stuff at any petrol station so you should be sorted. That or go to the shop at Hauptbahnhof.

Margret, as DW says, there's always a few natives around. my girlfriend for one is 100% German, although you wouldn't think it to talk to her. Anyway, see you later.

MommyinDE, yes it was

shouldv thought if it yesterday?

i had just seen the post!

SOME people do otherthings than post all day on forums... like... party... and the sleep alot



But no one said i had to eat anything, ill just go for the scenery.

I have a kitten like you. He's brim full of excitement and really fcuking irritating as well.

See you at the BBQ

Does wine count? I can bring some wine

Wine, last time I checked, counted...if you're a girl anyway...
Seriously - anythinhg is good, but as Keydeck said, get over to Hauptbahnhof or your local gas station and you'll find they sell food and booze too...you still have 1hr 30 before any of turn up at the BBQ spot.
And the latest weather forecast says 65% chance of precipitation, albeit not that heavy.

that 1 hr and 30 min is my laundry right now in the dryer... Hauptbahnhof isnt happening for me anytime soon, heh...

ill just got for the entertainment, and perhaps provide a little, myself.

i WOULD bring wine 4 the girls, but its fecking expensive stuff and my roomate would shoot me.

Don't worry about food MatchNL, I'm sure there'll be plenty to share.
