Barfly Meeting – Last Call

The Moonbat Sonata or Whiskey Barflies Retreat is about to take place next week.

Some eight to ten Moon of Alabama commentators will meet in Hamburg on the 31st. Anyone who wants to join anonymously you can meet us at the Cafè Buenos Aires on the evening of January the 3rd, or in Berlin on the 4th and 5th.

You can still join! For traveling and accomodation details please contact me via MoonofA _at_ aol _dot_ com (Hamburger & ASKOD please contact me in any case.)

Currently females are a bit overrepresentated in the event. So I would appreciate if any of the gents care to get off their asses and help me out.

No, nononono, not what you are thinking. Global orgasm day is today. Next week the task is to look after drunk and hangovered ladies …

Does RyanAir fly to some disused airfield near Hamburg?

ps: Billmon has a post re Condi’s investment up. Breakeven is my take on it.

Ryanair flys to Luebeck – there is a connected bus directly transfer from there for Euro 8 to Hamburg Main Station – takes some 75 minutes – I’d try to pick you up there.
So when will you land?

I’ll be thinking of all of you. Best wishes, kisses all round. One female less.

cp, i just turned in my final projects today and finally have time again to read posts and comments. yours made my day – you are coming, of course. just say yes. bernhard has only a rough idea of what he is in for – he will most definitely need and appreciate reinforcements. please, come.

noirette, we will toast you in your absence, but we will miss you. safe passage to the u.s. and good holidays.

Posted by: conchita | Dec 22 2006 21:57 utc | 6

b, I am sorely tempted to make the connection. Thanks for the Luebeck link, I am thinking………

Posted by: Cloned Poster | Dec 22 2006 23:28 utc | 7

Well I hope everyone will conduct themselves appropriately.
I wish I could be a chaperon,ladies, but alas, I am nursing a bad cold.
Watch out for the rakes and other assorted neer-do-wells.
I shall prey for each of you.
Please take plenty of pictures of your excursions, to share with us shut ins.

cp,
that Lübeck airport is the one I will arrive at. Join us, it will be fun.
Hamburger, you mentioned earlier that you have got a spare room. If no one has done so, I call it! I someone has called it, I will bring a sleeping bag. 🙂

b,
You Have Got A New Email. Bing!
Hamburger, send me a mejl at the adress at the bottom or let me know here that the room is still open and we can meet at the 31st. But I think b still wants to coordinate with you.

thx conchita. not going to the US am quite relieved – my son had an accident, not serious but immobile for the moment. aged relative also not so hot. have the best of times.

Posted by: Noirette | Dec 23 2006 14:57 utc | 11

cloned poster- hope you can make the trip.
I think b is getting worried that he is seriously outnumbered.
noirette, hope your family members are all soon feeling better.
ms m. – thank you for your kind concern.
I have already sent out a conduct manual for the trip, in hopes that we will not make a bad impression upon our european host. For instance, rule number 16.5.2 insists that hosts should be securely restrained before applying fingernail polish to toenails when said host attempts to sleep.
that’s a very important cultural concern that many americans fail to heed. I think it has something to do with that metric system thing…

B and ASKOD,
I have emailed you both. Have a double bed in basement guest room and a single in upstairs private room. Two toilets in the house, but only one bath/shower. 10 min walk to the neighborhood U-Bahn.
Let the fun begin!

faux #12, i’m glad you brought that up. do you plan on bringing handcuffs thru airport security? i was going to travel carryon but perhaps at least one of us will have to send some luggage on thru.

Posted by: annie | Dec 23 2006 21:41 utc | 14

annie- you must not have read rule number 16.8.3 which states that handcuffs are strictly forbidden because you never want to have to call a locksmith and thus embarrass your host.
Since it is winter, I assume everyone will have a scarf or two. I know I will. I find, even in my everyday life…trips to the grocery, errands…greeting the plumber at the door… that these accessorize much better than handcuffs.
but then again, you’re so west coast…maybe you have different traditions among the locals where you are.

ô pity the desk analyst at homeland affairs trying to interpret yr code

Posted by: remembereringgiap | Dec 23 2006 22:22 utc | 16

LOL! I think our host may help us along in the self medication/restraining department. [Is there a rule for that?]

Posted by: beq | Dec 23 2006 22:31 utc | 17

LOL, r’giap.
(and you notice that we post these things after b has gone to sleep for the night… advance training.)

Posted by: fauxreal | Dec 23 2006 22:36 utc | 18

pardon me for missing your post earlier, miz beq.
I’ve looked in the conduct manual, and I see nothing about a department of self medication and restraint. However, this manual is surely not comprehensive, especially in matters related to bureaucracy.
however, I would think that all would agree that one should always follow doctor’s orders about medication and exercise self restraint when dispensing curatives of any sort.

i never travel w/out my stethoscope.

i lost my copy of the rulebook. there’s nothing in there regarding accordians, is there?

Posted by: catlady | Dec 24 2006 0:36 utc | 21

Yes. I think it’s a subsection to suede shorts and lime jello.

Posted by: beq | Dec 24 2006 0:49 utc | 22

girls/comrades!!!!
i have spent the entire evening combing through the collected works of marx & engels as published by the foreign language press in peking 1966 & it is quite curious – i find no such mention of any rule book
i have ranged throughout the index & can find no mention of either suede short or lime jello & tere was only a passing reference to stethescopes so i am not sure if it was the one annie had mentioned
& of catlady’s accordions – well nothing annotations, yes – in fact many of them – too many to mention here – but alas no accordions – perhaps in the original german – i think you have to go back to fichte to find anything about accordeons
& sadly fauxreal – clearly marx & engels even en famille – there is not a word about scarves – silk or otherwise
really sisters – i’m in quite a loss about what it means – what it means, at all
learned fauxreal – citoyen – to the library you shall go !!!!!

Posted by: remembereringgiap | Dec 24 2006 1:28 utc | 23

I think, maybe, b is in for a rude awakening.

Posted by: beq | Dec 24 2006 2:09 utc | 24

comrade giap!
that manual was not part of my Dialectics for Dummies, comrade. (sadly, not even the cliff notes…)
I admit a moment of weakness as I was indulging in a little opiate of the people… “Tammy Faye’s Guide to Painting Toenails and Praising the Lord.”
I’m reading the part about mascara next.

faux, did you ever run into her at the mall?
