Posted 14 Oct 2014 Still looking for suggestions on where to meet btw - all suggestions welcome! :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Oct 2014 Boo hoo. I can't make it. Mata Hari is my daughter's hang out. She loves it there. There are several places in that area--Deli, or Cafe Weiß are the ones I remember. I still haven't found a place with a big round table. I seem to remember Weinstube Fróhlich having one, but I checked, and they don't... Maybe a Vereinsgaststätt? Have fun! KissKiss Annie P.S. Not close to Mata Hari, but close to public transportaion (and a favorite of mine): http://www.schlesinger-int.com/ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Oct 2014 Signup for DUMB on Thursday, 16 October at 7:00 pm 1. Guest 2. Frollein 3. Alana 4. White Rose of Yorkshire 5. Rats, both Mkwiede and Bookslut are non-starters this time round. Smaller groups are not all bad though - we won't be quite as spread out on a long table, and therefore have a better chance to talk to everyone there. Mata Hari is my daughter's hang out. She loves it there. There are several places in that area--Deli, or Cafe Weiß are the ones I remember. This sounds like we might be a bit old for Mata Hari. Sorry, I'll rephrase that. I might be a bit old for Mata Hari. Other suggestions: * Cafe Weiss - near the Rathaus (just down from Mata Hari) * Ochs'n Willi - on Schlossplatz (bit pricier than our usual) * Weinstube Kachelofen - near the Rathaus (bit pricier than our usual) * Schlesinger - near Friedrichsbau (recommended by Bookslut) Or we could go back to one of the places we've been thus far, i.e. * Biddy Early's (no food except very skimpy sandwiches though!) - near Rotebühlplatz * Sophies Brauhaus - near Rotebühlplatz * Brauhaus Calwereck - near Rotebühlplatz * Brauhaus Schönbuch - near Schlossplatz * Carl’s Brauhaus - on Schlossplatz 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Oct 2014 I haven't been to Brauhaus Calwereck for ages and couldn't come to the meeting in July when you all met there. If you don't mind going there again and you were all satisfied with the food and service the last time you were there, I vote for Brauhaus Calwereck. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Oct 2014 Just to update: Mata Hari might not be the best choice - I happened to walk by there last night, and the place was packed with teens and very young twens. And the entire Gasse near Mata Hari was full of hordes of teens waiting to get in. Man, did I feel ancient! :blink: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Oct 2014 Right! I was thinking I should retract my suggestion so thanks for getting ahead of it. What in Hades what I thinking? I'm the one always complaining about the teenies everywhere and that no ppl my age go out... I've even experienced that exact same chaos myself a time or three.. ughhh. I'm all for Brauhaus Calwer-eck too or wherever as long as it's reasonable and we don't have to SCREAM. Alana 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Oct 2014 NEWSFLASH: Guest just told me he has to cancel tonight, as he unexpectedly has a viewing for a new flat. And me, I must confess I'm feeling slightly frazzled - I'm babysitting a colleague that's visiting from one of our Latin American offices until next Tuesday, and it's a bit more challenging than I expected. So here's my proposal: We can meet up tonight for a small, cozy TT meetup - or we can postpone for one week, and have the meetup on Thursday, 23 October instead. What do you think? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Oct 2014 @the.frollein: Thank you for taking so much trouble to fix things. It seem that next Thursday is better for everybody, so I suggest meeting up on the 23.10.2014 too. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Oct 2014 Postponing works better for me too. Someone read my mind, thank you Universe~! Looking forward to next week so let's pray for a warm Indian Summer evening. Even better as I hope Kenya can join. Frollein, thx for the SMS heads-up. Alana S. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Oct 2014 Thanks everybody, for chiming in - I've now "officially" changed the date to next week Thursday. A nice Indian summer evening would be perfect! :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
