Goodbye 2007

A new year is comming. But first there has to be a party. Starting the evening slowly Reini, Dave and I met at Hannes' flat to do some stone slab barbecue and to have a couple of beers. Even on the way to Hannes the people couldn't stand it and there were fire- cracker explosions in every corner.

The time went by and after the meal we needed some schnaps. So it was time for some arcane homemade fire-water offered in a reutilised soda bottle.

Half past 11 we took a completely crowded subway to the Volkstheater and we went up the Ring to the town hall.

There was a shoal of people and fireworks all around. Staccato: countdown - can't hear the bell (to loud) - more fireworks - open a bottle of champagne - run into a banger - nearly spontaneous combustion!

When the crowd cleared up we went to the booths to have some glogg and hot punch.

We stayed until they closed the Christmas market at 2 am. The next and last station of the night was Charlie P's Irish Pub. Staying there to the dawn we had nice and bizarre conversations with the female soldiers of fortune of the night.

Conclusion: Happy new year and welcome 2008!
