Wherein I expound on various things brought up in various other messages, in various ways.

Agreeing with Sandman, I will eat and drink that which is provided to me. Beer or blender drinks? The only choice, to me, is not to choose.

Official steins are okay by me. I've got one on the way, but mightn't it be too late to order now? I suppose there's always rush shipping.

I would totally be up for some Gemþtlicheit at the Gasthaus Friday night. Mmm, schnitzel. What are the ETAs for the various Iowans? Might some of them be planning to stay in the room with the mighty Rollerball poster? Fear it, I say!

And while we're talking arrival, what too about departure? Will BIYF be stretching into a second day of movie watching and debauchery? Believe me, I have the movies for it.

The Brickmaker, (-layer?) has spoken with enthusiasm of homemade breakfasts and grilled feasts at his and Mala's place (hereafter BIYF HQ). His enthusiasm has fired mine as well. Khan's has served as a closing ceremony for BIYfs past and could do so again, if Friday is given over to the Gasthaus.

So, as I see it/suggest (depending on schedules)

Friday: dinner out, perhaps at the Gasthaus, maybe a movie or drinks back following.

Saturday: the craziness. Movies, booze, etc. A big breakfast/brunch at HQ, and dinner a la grill.

Sunday: EITHER brunch/lunch at Khan's and sad goodbyes, OR more movie/drinking madness followed by dinner at Khan's and departures on Monday.

Where does the "legitimate" movie (in all likelihood The Day After Tomorrow) fall? Well, why plan everything? Let fancy strike! Phoeberella, for one, would love for us to find an opportunity to show off our apartment/cats to you all, as well. Could be Friday after dinner.

Submitted for your consideration,
