It’s getting close: the great YouTube gathering is in Frankfurt the weekend after next.
The actual gathering is on Saturday, 8 August 2009.
So, this year still.
At 2 pm in front of the Schirn gallery. That’s near Dom/Römer station,
the exit labelled “Römerberg/Schirn”.
We’re meeting up there, then we’ll see what happens.
For the really hardcore YouTubers there are small meets before and after the main event.
They’ve given them the faux English names “Pregathering” and “Postgathering”.
Because we’re modern.
I’m not a big fan of Denglisch, but...
The “Pregathering” is on Friday, of course:
At 7 pm, same meeting place.
The “Postgathering” is on Sunday at 12 noon.
Same meeting place.
I can’t say exactly when I can be there.
Probably Friday and Saturday. We’ll see.
Sometimes you can find some wonderful things in the local paper.
Two pieces of news in the last few weeks have interested me particularly.
“Thief hoards a thousand pairs of underpants”
It starts off like a joke.
A 56-year-old man goes into a sports gym and steals underpants.
I mean, that’s weird enough.
He was able to escape, but the police came and knocked on his door.
And they found 1000 pairs of underpants.
But that’s not the strange part.
It was a 56-year-old man,
and not only did he steal the underpants,
but he washed and ironed them.
The police officers couldn’t believe their eyes: “What’s wrong with this picture?”
“Military rocket in the cellar”
Following the death of his mother-in-law, a man clears out her house
and finds a type DM18 military rocket.
Hey, George, you were right: We’ve found Saddam’s arsenal!
