Grandpa got run over by a beertruck

Christmas is hiding away right behind that next Glühweinstand and it will be here before we all know it. The Martinsschlössl, venue of a few quite remarkable Christmas parties in previous years until changes of the mind made other venues for that social event more appealing for a couple of years (and those were changes of the map), well, a sort of homecoming occured last Monday (day before an Ostrich holiday) and 55 paying customers were counted on those premises.
The owner who goes by the name of Mr.Orasch has become a friend of ours over the years and since we were there last in 2006 he invested heavily in his sound-equipment as well as making the whole room soundproof. ("I chad no police visits for more than a year now, u know?").
Excitement was added by the fact that several acts had been prepared by different people and, ehem, Munk, Dr. Kunt and myself prepared for the infamous Flashdance again over the course of five rehearsals in our cellar and helped by copious quantities of red wine. Lday GoDiver, Squeeze Box Mama, Ice Queen and Pocahontits performed a spectacular mini dramolette and Unlce Disco Bobby No Balls Prize was the guitar hero of the evening. My Pint of View sort of held the whole thing together as the human clamp with his so-called "Porn Flics" of different forms of Hash Behaviours during the past year.
Watching all the different performaces (and Munks usual speech for the golden beer can awards) was fun. It remains to be seen which kinds of attractions (Siegfried and Roys silver tigers=) can be presented next year.
On that note, we left the Martinsschlössl well after midnight and I am delighted to Lord Glo-Balls (OVH) already booked the place again for December 11 in 2010. Which is a Saturday for informations sake to all of you out-of-towners. Make your travel arrangements in time since there is no excuse for all of you to not come. To the party.
Thanks for a very harmonious evening altogther, I certainly enjoyed myself and had an enjoyable chat with Mr. Smelly Cheese himself.

Until the uploading of the Christmas Party videos by the legendary My Pint of View (do I just raise my beer glass to you or vot?) you will have to do with one flic that features Richard Kopf at the Great whine Weekend last April down in Styria.
