Saturday meet up in Düsseldorf - Germany

Hi all.

A few people have emailed me suggesting they'd like to meet up...so im making this new topic so that we can decide on a date and location. All suggestions for venue and time welcome!

Rachel

Just thought actually...we could organise something for st. paddy's day??

Yeah, I've been here for just a week now and already bored. Im in!

Hi there!
I would like to come...I hope we will find a suitable day.
Will it be on a weekend or in the week?
Weekend would be fine (Friday or saturday)

Thomas ;o)

st patricks day is on a monday (17th)...and i personally can't do this weekend as i'm going to holland, but how about next weekend then 21st or 22nd?
Rach

Folks,
I dont have regular access to Internet ( damn...it takes 4 weeks for a new connection here..!!) So please feel free to pick a day and time ( weekends preferably) and I'll be there. Dont see anything coming up for the next couple of weeks, so I'm game for the 21st weekend!

Well, this sounds great..lemme check my diary and will give u a feedback asap. Ok?
Greetings, Thomas ;o)

Hey kerry,...

...I heard that the next meeting will be on the 20th of march, ehhm right???

Greetz, Thomas

Hey! For the Düsseldorfers who still feel like celebrating St Patrick's day next Saturday, there is a meet up in Cologne! Feel free to come along!

Ok thanks for advice! How about then Saturday 22nd...around 3o'clock ish at an irish pub somewhere in the altstadt - any favorites?

How about O´Reillys??

ok o'reillys sounds fine...although its often busy in there and last time we lost a person who was coming...so if we meet outside o'reillys?

O'Reillys is the one right next to the Rathaus rite?...sounds good to me...

yeh it is...c u all next saturday then!

Yeppers...the O´Reillys is right next to the Rathaus...;o)
So, how many people will come then?

CU ALL ON SATURDAY!
Greetz, Thomas

sooo...meeting-point will be in front of the O´Reillys? At what time? 3 pm?
Yeah! Saturday will be a busy day in the Old-Town.
Hope that we won´t loose anybody...LOL!
;o)

Hi,

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time as I will be in Portugal for the Easter weekend. Have fun everyone and lets set something up in early April.

Cya,

Pedro

That's a shame, but yeh, we'll definitely organise something for april. Have a great easter weekend!

Cool! I'll do my best to be there

I just got here last saturday and would like to meet expats like me.

cya!

Can't make this one I'm afraid...back in UK for Easter. Next time!

Im very jealous that everyone seems to be heading home for Easter! Have a great Easter though, and I look forward to seeing those of you that are in Düsseldorf on Saturday!

I keep missing all the meet ups! I should just stay in Düsseldorf for the weekend for once!

How about Thursday? Anyone in for doing something?

See you soon!

Btw Rach, did you ever get my text about not being able to meet on Wednesday? I think I sent it to your UK number, so hope you got it on time!

Hi folks,

just a question...I am going to come to that get-together on the 22nd of march.
Anyway-but who has time to meet up this weekend or upcoming week?
I am just having the idea of having some drinks or to grab a beer.

Greetz, Thomas ;o)

PS: JUST PM me or message me! ;o)

hey all

yeh i got ur text irina, thanks...didnt u get my reply? odd! thurs is good for me i think...cant do monday or wed but thurs should be cool. fancy a cocktail somewhere?? ive not had a german cocktail yet!!

so should we make this into two meetups then??!

rach

Actually, I just realized I am in Düsseldorf until Saturday morning, so we can go for cocktails on a Friday night as well! Both Thursday and Friday nights work equally fine for me. Although some people going away for the weekend might be leaving on Friday morning already. Or not?!

Let's arrange another meet up then! Rach, will you take care of this?

See you soon then!! :-)

Hey thursday is probably better for me as not entirely sure of my plans yet for friday night...and for u its always nicer to travel without a hangover! so thursday night then? Not sure where the best place is to go though...so all suggestions for good cocktail bars welcome!! Shall we say 8.30 on thursday evening at...?

Rach

How about we start at O'Reilly's Irish Pub at 20:30 and go from there

sure, why not?

there is also a very small bar called Alexander - delicious cocktails, but a bit hidden! LEt me know what you think, otherwise, we can meet at the Irish pub and see how it goes from there!

http://www.bar-alexander.com/

I quite like your idea Irina...seeing as the other meet up on Saturday is at O'reillys I feel we could do with some variety!!

So the meet-ups are as follows:

Thurs 20th March - Bar Alexandra, Merowingerstraße 18 (40223, Düsseldorf) at 20.30
http://maps.google.de/maps?hl=de&tab=wl

Sat 22nd March - O'reillys at 15.00 (By Rathaus/Horse Rider Denkmal in Düsseldorf Altstadt)
Can meet outside the pub with anyone there on time (Assuming of course that I make it on time!)

Tell barstaff you're here for Toytown so they can point us all in each other's direction!

For anyone that cant make it have a great easter and we'll have to try and arrange something after easter.

Rach

Great Rachel!

Should we put up a new thread so that people know right away? :-)

Ok...all done...it's called Thursday Meet Up...etc etc! C u thursday!

i am getting a bit confussed here with all the meetups :/

There is another meetup happening tonight in O'Reilly's american.meetup.com/196/7379977
i don't think it is just for Americans but for all English speaking expats.

I am going to try and make it to both, tonight and Saturday, to O'Reilly.

Anyone can tell me direction from Bilk S bahn to the bar?

Hey, you can take the Strassenbahn (tram) Number 706 at D-Bilk S Bahnhof, direction is: D-Am Steinberg.
You have to leave the tram at Heinrich-Heine-Allee.
Maybe its better to ask s.o. there for the way to the O´Reillys.
The address is: Marktplatz 6.

Just ask for the town hall. O´Reillys is located close to the town hall.

Here is a little map: Click the link and go to duesseldorf and then to location!

You´ll find it/us. It´s quite easy.

Cu! ;o)
Thomas

I wish I had known you guys wanted to hang out last weekend... I guess I should check the forums more often.

Well, I'm glad there is a meet-up tonight (I was wondering what to do).

I'll go to both

See you there!

Uaah! I don´t know should I come to the meet up tonight?
Or should I better go to the meet up on saturday...LOL!
Rachel...help me, plse! ;o)

Thomas

y not go to both??

Rachel

hehe...you are funny... ;o)

Well, hmmmm...no. I am going to come on saturday.
That´s better 4 me.

Anyway...I wish u all a nice meet-up and a lot of drinks/cocktails!!!

HAVE FUN!
CU ON SATURDAY THEN!

Thomas

Hi Guys,
Room for someone from cologne on Saturday? I promise to drink Alt beer!
Hopefully see you all tomorrow at 1500 in Oreillys!
