Please Read - Spookys Away in Munich
I'm lucky enough to be married to a guy who gets these great nerdy software teaching gigs in far away places. So, off we go - kids and all. We leave in about 24 hours and will return on October 16.
As most of you know, the server for the site lives in our basement. Since we won't be here for a few days, we won't really know the status of things, administratively speaking. If our home should lose power, then the site is down. If that happens, the site automatically comes back on whenever our power is restored.
I don't know how much Doc or I will be logged onto the site during our time in Munich, but if any of you should have any concerns, email us at either of these addresses - they're the ones we will be checking on the most:
ecfans@gmail.com
joel.sherrill@gmail.com
I'm certain that Blue can take care of you guys in that fancy moderator way that he has been doing for so long now.
If any of you out there are near Munich or want to come see us, pm me. I don't know that we have ever even had German board members. Anyhow, should any of you find yourselves near there, please let us know. Much beer and Reisling is to be consumed over the next few days.
I am ssssssoooooooooooo not packed, so I will be slaving away at that today. Well, that and trying to get my van fixed where I swerved in the road to miss something yesterday and hit the curb, bending my rim and blowing my tire. Oh yeah, and knocking the van out of line.
I'm ordering drinks as soon as I get on that plane.

It's been three years since narbawlz entrusted me with the role, and in his spirit I will let no shit be disturbed.spooky girlfriend wrote:I'm certain that Blue can take care of you guys in that fancy moderator way that he has been doing for so long now.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Hope you guys had a great time and dared try the local Weisswurst*, which I'd say is the best.
Pity though that I haven't had time to tread the board in a while, so I could've let you know that my band played in Ebersberg on the fringes of Munich last Friday. Then again, free beer and punk the night before wouldn't be the recipe for a perfect return trip, so maybe it was for the best.
*: pale sausage made mostly out of cow's brain, and which you traditionally suck out of its skin rather than chew (love it)

Now that breaks my heart, King. I would have loved nothing more than meeting up with you. We may be back in the spring, not sure, but pleeeeeeeeease let me know. I should have thought to make contact with everyone on that side of the globe before I left, but time was running out. The whole trip happened so fast. Damn. Maybe next time. And we didn't fly back until Sunday, so a Saturday hangover could have been okay.
Pictures to follow. I'm still unloading them.

spooky, you have any of these while you were over there (sounds strange but tastes great)?
Up there with Coffee Crisps (Canada) and Tim Tams and Cherry Ripes (Australia) on my list of favorite foreign confectionary.
PS: Speaking of Coffee Crisps, I stumbled across this. At last, a worthy cause!
