Hi folks,
this is just a little reminder. I'm organizing a VT-Meeting in Leipzig on May24/25th. These days are packed with festivals, for example the fun fair and the Honky-Tonk Festival, which is claimed to be the biggest pub festival in Europe. Several VTers told me in mails that they would like to attend. I’d like to know who is planning to come. For more info about the meeting take a look at the meetings page or on my Leipzig-page.
If you reply something on that same forum, I will keep you up-to-date.
Looking forward to seeing you in great numbers.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Wish I could, but won't be possible. But, I would love a postcard (with signatures) if possible. E-mail me if so and I'll pass my address along.
Cheers, Brandon
Ich komme gerne, wenn ich kann. Muß mal sehen wie ist wird mit Türkei-Absage!
I'll see what I can do! It would be great to finally meet you!
Paula :)
Schaun mer mal! ;-)
Hi Chris!
Ich weiß, ich hab´ schon mal gesagt, ich würde kommen. Jetzt heiratet ein sehr guter Freund von mir aber am 24. Mai. Daher werde wohl leider doch nicht zum VT-meeting kommen können.
Aber wird ja nicht das letzte meeting sein!
Gruß,
Kai
Eine Frage...wo genau liegt eigentlich nochmal dieses "Leipzig"? ;-P
Hello Leipzig! Sure wish I could be there, we had a great time at the meeting in Berlin on April 5th, we ended up having a few of them as we met people from different places who randomly showed up. Good luck to you! Have fun ;-)
I'm thinking about coming, but it depends on various things...
Keep me posted!
Okay, this is the latest update.
For the meeting I suggest following agenda:
Saturday:
° meeting at Moritzbastei (a pub) at 3pm (too early/late?)
° taking a little walk through the center
° Supper - with typical German dish
° partying at the Honky Tonk Festival
Sunday:
° visiting the Völkerschlachtdenkmal (a huge monument)
° rowing on Leipzig’s channels or, in case of bad weather, visiting a museum
.
Feel free to suggest alternatives!
I will send you a mail with further details soon.
So far coming:

Hello Christian!
Madschick and I would love to come, but "unfortunately" we are heading in the other direction:

Have a fantastic time and I hope that many more "maybe"s will turn into: "We are coming"s!

I received a postcard from your meeting, thank you very much!

According to the climate, May it is the driest and sunniest month in Leipzig. The average maximum temperature is about 20 to 24ýC. At night it can drop down to 10ýC. Nevertheless bring an umbrella and warm clothes as well. .
Credit Cards: paying with credit cards in Hotels, big stores, restaurants and boutiques is mostly possible, in pubs or small stores less customary. I recommend to have cash or an EC-card.
Telephone: dialling key:

In Leipzig you find five cabarets. Here you can legally laugh at the Saxon dialect. My favorite cabaret is "Academixer". The word "academical" gives the Academixer its name. Founded by the students Christian Becher, Gunter Böhnke, Jürgen Hart and Bernd-Lutz Lange in 1966 it has become one of the most popular cabarets in Leipzig.
My friend recommended this restaurant which he knew from an earlier visit. They had an offer for business lunch that sounded interesting: samlet fillet on a bed of potato and celery pieces plus a glass of white wine for 9.90 Euro. We had a bottle of water with it and an espresso each. Very good food and very good deal.
I liked the ambience (vaulted ceiling, white linen) a lot, the service was very good also.
The city museum found its home in the Old City Hall. Most impressive is the huge Banquetting Hall with Renaissance interior (open fireplaces).
I was surprised by the many fine works of medieval religious art: altars, paintings, wood-carved sculptures etc. Most of them were saved from churches which were deconstructed in Leipzig's surrounding.
Very impressive are the rooms with interior from old Patrician houses. I also liked the treasure chamber (steep and narrow staircase!).
Entrance fee is 2.50 Euro
Leipzig’s famous orchestra originally performed in the house of the cloth makers’ guild, that is where it got the name from. Their 19th century concert hall was destroyed in the war. In 1981 the new Gewandhaus in Augustusplatz opposite the opera house has been opened.
From the outside, the modern building is most beautiful in the evening when the foyers and the huge fresco on the ceiling, “The Song of Life” by Sieghart Gilles, are illuminated.
