BBQ Season opened

Yesterday evening we exchanged our weekly regular table at the Irish pub for a BBQ at my place. Luckily the predicted rain didn't show up and we had some nice steaks and salad.

Definitely a good start into a successfull and long BBQ season. Smoke on, Jolle!

Philippine Karaoke

After one of our consulting day evening dinners some of us decided to continue the night at the (in Camelot circles) well known Oldie bar, situated in the Mannheim underground near the station. It's a small spin-off from the neighbouring philippine karaoke bar.

After an hour waiting and drinking finally they played our songs, a very lot of them. Another great evening. :)

1st bier-patrickalon 2007

St. Patrick's Day - always a reason for party. So was yesterday. The famous All-Stars gathered together to celebrate this day with a special event: The Guiness-Patrickalon. A challenge to drink 6 Guinness in 6 Irish pubs in 2 cities in less than 6 hours. We didn't completely succeed, but it more an act of nature than our fault, so it was ok. See the full story...

PS: At the end the patrickalon included a visit to the ballet and a long museum night. Another adventurous Saturday is over.

The 2007 Camelot Ski-Event

Another year has passed. It is now my third Camelot ski event already. Wow, time is really running fast.

Everything was planned well. We had rented a nice old cottage for over 30 people. But unluckily many couldn't take part due to a project. Anyway, 9 of us made their way to the Salzburger Land.

But even if the house was far to big for us, it was a nice mix of people and we had a lot of fun skiing, snowboarding, karaoke-singing, preparing food on the wood stove, watching the horses, rabbits, guinea-pigs in the barn etc.

Also the weather was really nice on one day. Here are some impressions:
