TT BBQ Archive - Sunday 1st August 2004

I think that myself and my good woman (who is without internet and handy today by the way if anybody's trying to reach her) might fancy a spot of that mate - especially as I'll have the Monday off.

Hope you have better weather than last saturday...

don't think I'll be there though, still intend to be playing tourguide than.

I'll probably be there!

Good stuff. Anyone else around? All are welcome. We are going anyway, but as always the more the merrier.

You're not planning on going nude are you, mate?

Well I wasn't, but now that you mention it...

I'll join ya (not in goin nude)...

Sounds wicked. Hopefully the weather will be nice for us. Will be great to catch up with you Keydeck and your luverly ladeeeee. Its been ages since we all shared a few ales.

If the weather is up to it, count me in. If it's not and you decide to go elsewhere, count me in for that as well.

Yey! So good weather or bad weather we are having a Sunday session regardless! Excellent, just like old times...

Definitely will do something else if the weather is bad. Still though keep your fingers crossed and press your thumbs firmly for a bit of sunshine.

Depends what time...I'm coming back to Munich at around lunch-time on Sunday, so if I'm not too fucked up from 3 days on the piss in Berlin, I might see if I can make it...

Well my baby sister (just turned eighteen; hands off!) will be arriving sometime Sunday afternoon/evening, and the plan is to bring her out... So you should be ok turning up late too, Hazza. And I promise we'll get you thrown in the Isar somehow; that should help with the hangover.

Is this open for newbies (namely... me?)

Newbies are ALWAYS welcome. At all events. Come along; looking forward to meeting you.

I'm really looking forward to this now

As Badger said, all are welcome. Looking forward to meeting a few new people!

I should be getting back in town Sunday morning, and would love to meet up and see you guys too, seeing as I've been gone for most of the month.

So far we are about 10 people (one or two of these are maybes). I'll be bringing along a BBQ but if anyone else has one as well that'd be great.

To answer Toronto's question from another thread, you need to bring along basically whatever you want to eat and drink yourself. If you can bring something extra (like a salad, a cake, a case of Augustiner or something) to share around then all the better. Unless you are actually bringing an extra BBQ you don't need to worry about coals n stuff like that. I think most people who've said they'll be along have done the BBQ thing in Munich before. If you haven't then feel free to give me a call and I'll give you whatever details and/or help you need. PM me for my mobile number.

I'd quite like to come along - I'll know by thursday (potentially my last day at 'work')

Shock horror, surely not a rare guest appearance from the Don of Rinna

Would be great to see you, its been feckin ages!

I will be in lovely (?) Essex and thus not here. Back on Aug 16th.

I am going to buy a couple of those kebab thingies on Saturday then, can anyone recommend a decent marinade that I can stick it in overnight?

A bit of (sesame or if not available, olive) oil, some soy sauce, some crushed garlic (and ginger), chilli seeds, a little bit of honey. Standard Asian chicken, pork and prawn marinade.
For beef, some olive oil, plenty alcohol (JD's, red wine, ...), a handful of slightly crushed pepper, rosemary.
Basically you need some oila nd then throw in whatever you want the flavour of.

@3Lions - tell me what meat you are buying, I'll give you a marinade. As badger rightly says, oil is important (offers a medium for other ingredients' natural oils to come out), but there are some ace French-style marinades that involve heating up some wine and adding some stuff to it to make an infusion - improves flavour.

Sounds like a good time. Count us in!

I believe bike by this spot every day to/from work. It's the one right by a big pedestrian bridge, right? Seems like a quaint area and a good place to have a BBQ.

EDIT: Nevermind, sounds like this place is not right on the river where I'm thinking.

I might even bring my gooma.

me too! me too! about what time do ya think you'll be going?

Can someone please post the exact location of the BBQ spot in the Englisher Garten which was mentioned in the previous thread.

Assuming that all goes well we can meet at 2:30pm, relax, catch a few rays, chill, drain a few tinnies, muck about, chomp some munchies, kick back, basically your average day out in the sun.

As I mentioned previously, if anyone needs a number for contact purposes just drop me a PM and I'll oblige. If you don't have it already it's probably a good idea in case it starts chucking it down before we meet up and we have to change location. Or in case you get lost and attacked by a Wolperdinger.

Have to say, I'm a little nervous about seeing Don's gooma.

whatsa gooma?

We'll be there... Wherever that is.

Memo
"Pick a nose, any nose"

I´ll be there.
Ups - Wolperdinger??!!
I thought there are only aktive during the night??

Count me in too! Looking forward to meeting you all...

I also have a grill and some coal I can bring along... Just let me know.

BTW, where/when exactly are we grilling? And, as a newbie, I won't recognise any of you. Is the place pretty full? Don't really fancy going round the parties asking if they're part of TT!!!

Cheers!

I'm not sure on the location myself quite yet to be honest - I guess enlightenment will come at a later stage. In the meantime PM me for my mobile number, and I'd recommend you PM somebody else too just in case I'm late or out of signal...

Alrighty then, the exact directions which I've just received (graciously provided by SK04) are as follows:

From Studentenstadt U-Bahn, follow the signs for the Englischer Garten and enter at the end of the road after about 200m.

Follow path another 150m-200m until a slight fork (by a bench/rubbish bin) and go left.

You then come to a big meadow...one very big field but at far bottom side c. 300m (just across the path and next to a big bunch of bushes/small trees), near the river, there is a stone section for Grilling/Fires.

That should be clear enough for everyone. Any problems then give me a call. Looks like we've got a good crowd now so I'd say a second BBQ would come in very handy. Satman, if you can bring your that'd be great.

Look for the inflatable blue guitar. I believe it's at home so I'll bring it along. 'Erm I also expect to have a real guitar with me too...hopefully.

Should be there. Need to find a cool bag or something to keep the beer cold.

See you sunday!

I may come along as well, but unfortunatly I can't say until saturday.

@pootle

there's a river right next to the grilling area... quite fast flowing so maybe tie a bag of beers to the side.

oh.. and good news, there is only one solitary regular Nudie there

hey sounds fun. Mind if i come along? I havnt been to a TT event in like... 3 weeks!

@ SKO4: carefull now, we don't want alcoholic fish

I am more nervous about her finding out that I referred to her as my gooma.

any idea how long the bbq will continue? With fine weather it's great to be at the isar in the evening.

I won't be there in the afternoon but might turn up in the evening if the weather's still nice

what the hells a gooma?

Just call me and ask mate - i'll keep my phone handy (pardon the shocking pun there).

Gooma is slang, coming from the Italian "comare" - godmother. Now used to mean mistress, bird, girlfriend etc.

@ Jimbo - that was a really really sad pun indeed...

It was unintentional though badger - it just came out that way. Sorry...

See here for funky map and more detailed directions as kindly provided by Ed Bob.

don't forget to take bug-spray (e.g. autan) with you, the mossies are aggressive little buggers in that area. (I train there frequently and com eback bitten all over, and by the mossie, and the bites itch like fuck for days after)

"funky" map?.. i would say "groovy" seeing as simon and garfunkel are in town!

"hello lampost what you knowin..."

See and at a quick glance I read "and the bitch eats like fuck for days after"...and I thought, that's a bit harsh.

Thanks for the tip, will make sure we're well stocked.
