Polymeet in Berlin during August 2006

[Ecthy]

They don't become cheaper over time you know.

[Harovan]

I'll be able to confirm my participation within the next few days.

[Provost Harrison]

So isn't it time we decided on a time and a place to meet? Come on Berliners, suggest a venue!

[Ecthy]

Let's start in the afternoon, in a place where there are many pubs around, 14:00 at Hackescher Markt

[Harovan]

Checkin in most hotels is from 15:00 only

[Ecthy]

Hackescher Martk 16:00 then

[Ecthy]

Or let's just agree on a pub to stay put in, but then I'm not sure which pubs are open around that time.

Aufsturz?

[Harovan]

Auf-what?

Heck I don't even know where Hackescher Markt is. Last time I visited Berlin 4 or 5 years ago, had some business to do in Deutsche Oper and in the Reichstag (in it's basement, to be more precise, not where the terrorists politicians work) and was stopped by some ******* cops at 3:30am for an alcohol test. That was quite funny. Here's what I remember:

Cop: "Good morning. Where from?"

Me: "From work."

Cop: (looks at his watch and laughs): "Of course. And where did you 'work'?"

Me: "In the Bundestag"

Cop: "(laughs harder) Ok, License and Log-book please" (I hand it...) "And how much did you drink?"

Me: "Nothing. I told you I'm coming from work."

Cop: "Ok, let's see..."

(I do the test)

Cop: "Zero! Amazing."

Me: "Told ya so."

Cop: "Ok, have a good trip! And don't lie to me next time (laughs)."

[Ecthy]

I don't see your point, sounds like an average German cop

[Harovan]

Good thing I don't live in America. There'd I have had the same conversation, only with a gun barrel behind my ear.

[Provost Harrison]

Your cops sound alright - although our cops don't carry lethal firepower, they are surly and obnoxious for the most part...

Panty Raid!

[Provost Harrison]

I like the sound of that venue

[Heresson]

Uh, what exactly do we do at Apolyton meetings?

[Dauphin]

Get drunk and watch PH pass out.
