h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

LOOOL


Ooops, surprise, surprise!
I had completely given up hopes to have an international meet-up and didn't place any reservations. But there'll be a way if there's a wish!

Awww Mr. Cogito, we'll miss you. Boston, however, is lovely this time of year! I've been meaning to take a weekend to explore it while I have some free time on my hands.

Remember how I recently posted that I couldn't make the Museum on Sunday because I couldn't cancel my plans? They were (sadly) canceled for me .

Count me in for Sunday, even if Friday night's meeting doesn't happen. Check my personal space for contact information.

Anyone else? Come on New Yorkers... I know that you are out there, lurking in the shadows (watch out for the Grue).

Unapathetically,
Kay

Bossel!

Reservations are always nice, but sometimes you can get away with out them. We just really need to find out how many people are coming. I haven't looked at Alonso's website, because I couldn't find the site (and I also couldn't find the place in Zagat and apparently I used to live right around the corner from the restaurant). If we defintely need reservations, there's still time.

If you just want to meet up on Sunday, that's fine, too.

If you just want to sit by yourself having an h2g2 meeting of one in your bathtub, muttering to yourself in German and complaining about crazy New York researchers... then have a blast!

(I know where the Weissbier is... heh... heh... heh...)

Servus!

KayKay the Krazed

Naaa, no way that I want to be on my own, in a bathtub or not!
I was misspelling the place at the first time, it's Alonzos (with a 'z'), and it doesn't need reservations cos it's soo silent they are happy with a couple or two of customers. Anyway, that was my suggestion after none of the NYers came up with something better! So, (avoiding to start shouting...) WHERE, er, where's the Weizenbier pleeeeease????

Dunno ...

So KayKay loves to keep the secret... one secret of writing is to keep the reader in suspense. Well done!

You're only here a couple of days and you're missing Weizenbier already? Arme Bossel! (Beeb required translation: Poor Bossel!)



I go to either one of these:

Hallo Berlin:

626 10th Ave. (bet. 44th & 45th Sts.) New York, NY, 10036-3036 (212) 977-1944

or

Hallo Berlin:
402 W. 51st St. (9th Ave.) New York, NY, 10019 (212) 541-6248

I used to hang out at the second one because I was working right around the corner. The food is (or used to be) great, the service is terrible, the pirces are reasonable and it's really a little hole in the wall. I visited the first one only once, and the atmosphere is different. The 51st Street is more like a Biergarten, the second one reminded me of "Cabaret" for some strange reason. It was a great place to meet new people (it was sort of like a "Kneipe"), practice my German with the manager... but you know, the Hefeweizen tasted better in Gunzenhausen.

I just sent you an e-mail KayKay ...

We could do one of those places on Sunday ...

You took the words right out of my mouth, la-la-lah,...

Well, I just sent you an email, too Shea!

Sounds good to me. Currywurst.... mmmmmmmmm!

YAY™!!! Two's company, but three's a crowd!

And with me in there it's called a crazy crowd

Oddly enough, I think that we're all at least slightly German/ Austrian/ Swiss. Your previous post was prophetic, Bossel.

I'm 3/8ths German ... but a typical US mutt ... I don't speak any German, though. My great-grandparents on my father's side were the last to be born in Germany. And since my grandfather married an Irish woman, there goes the German food, too!

I'm toddling off to bed, kiddies. I have some very early (for me) mornings ahead of me!

See you on Sunday!

Well....my mother is Austrian, and my father's family came here from Vienna almost 125 years ago. My German? Hahahahahahah... my grandmother would yell at me in German, I would answer in English...that kind of stuff. I'm still very much a beginner.

prophetic... well you know, sometimes I've got those feelings

That's nothing to be bothered about! Trillian's Child has started a page called German Lessons for your kind of people. She's in the UK right now and has taken up loads of other projects, and there's the Beeb in effect now, but sometime, sometime, the lessons will go on!

But I found one on 45th Street. ????

Confusedly,
KayKay

So good night to all of you, as I'll also be heading for the bed!
