Ron T’s was a lot of fun - apparently I’m a total loud mouth, and even though Kelly argued against my position as a libertarian, she still thinks taxes are dumb. If you came, then you probably had fun; if you didn’t, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy our company next time.
PS Isabelle I’m not shipping out to sea, but we can still drink like sailors!
Hey Canucks!
Sorry that I’ve flaked out and haven’t posted anything in the last little while… I’ve been busy as heck with work and partying (I do both pretty hard). The buzz is that there’s going to be a Canadian party at Ron Teleski’s Pizza Parlour on August 20th at 7:00 pm. I’ll be there for sure!
Happy Canada Day, you crazy Canucks!
Since Canada Day falls on a Tuesday this year, and celebrating it requires more rye whiskey than the Wednesday work day would allow, we are having the party on Saturday (05.06.08).
Our place is easy to find: closest U-Bahn is Rosenthaler Platz and the M1 goes right by the front door (every #!@&^@ 5 minutes).
We are going to provide the food but please don’t expect a sit-down 5 course dinner - expect something more in the nature of finger food. Would be swell if someone could bring some munchings and crunchings to fill in the gaps.
My Itunes also tells me that I have about 16 hours of excellent Canadian music so we can also play Name That Canadian Tune if anyone wants. Otherwise I will just play in my head.
It is of course a BYOB.
Please RSVP so we can warn the neighbours accordingly.

Not too sure how this works (maybe someone can test it?), but there is a signup feature here…

I think you get email updates if you sign up… If you want to write stuff, then let me know and I’ll dispatch my minions to set you up with an author account.
Hey all,
With regard to Kelly’s email, here’s the link for registering with DFAIT in Berlin. I registered a while ago (a year ago?), and you probably should, too.

This is a special event for St-Jean Baptiste Day! Vive le Québec!
This is, however, not just for Québequers. The event will be in a park where we can have a small campfire (in lieu of the usual bonfire), drink beer, listen to music, etc. An outdoor party, basically!
If anyone knows where we could do this I would appreciate suggestions.
I say: Sounds good. I remember lots of drunk Quebecers out west on St-Jean Baptiste Day, and I always wanted to know what the heck it’s all about, so sure, count me in! I guess more details about this party will develop as we get closer to the actual date…
Last Sunday was a great party! Head injuries, bike accidents, Canadians, and too much pasta salad make a great combination… Down to business: People showed interest in playing along with Canadiansinberlin.com, so here’s what to do:
Just let me know, I’ll set you up with an account, and then all you need to do is log in, write whatever is on your mind, and share it with the rest of us. The Wordpress interface is super easy and intuitive, so everyone who participates shouldn’t have too much trouble getting the hang of it.
I’ll have to upload pictures onto my server though, so email those to me and I’ll just put them in a folder and tell you the URL so you can add them to your posts. That will be a little inconvenient at the beginning, but eventually we’ll move to a PHP forum platform and it will be a snap.
Cheers!
I just added a pile of RSS buttons. Sign up and get informed when something new is going on!
