Who's got $1000 to lend me?

[MadeInNewJersey]

I want to go to Ragnarok Festival in Lichtenfels, Germany.

 

[lizard]

you fool, you're supposed to say you need it for your electric bill!!

 

[JayKeeley]

Papa Josh? That you?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

C'mon! Airfare is only $650 r/t to Nuremberg! I want to go!

 

[lizard]

that's about what it was three years ago when my wife flew into Nuremburg to go to Rothenburg

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Only 1 hour by train from Nuremberg to Lichtenfels as well. There are hotels available! Goddamnit, who's got $1000 to give me?

I'll bring you back a t-shirt.

Plus Nürnberg is such a wooooooooonderful city

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I wouldn't be in Nurnberg for more than, oh, 1 hour, just long enough to find my train to Lichtenfels.

To go to Ragnarok Festival!

P.S. It's April 7-8, so I'm really going to need someone to hurry up and loan me the money

THRILL as you stroll about the stadium where Hitler staged his famous nighttime flame-lit rallies!!

 

[Ellestin]

Hey you... If you bother flying there at all, it would be pretty damn dumb not to take at least one afternoon to hang around in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe :Smug:

gugs, ask for another 500$ for walking around money.

get on the phone and make some sales call

Wouldn't matter, I don't get a commission check until April 30 (new quarterly pay plan), which is why I'm so friggin' broke.

@ellestin: that's cool, I definitely would, since I priced the flight to fly in to arrive early Thursday morning April 6 - the festival is April 7-8 - and then not fly out until Monday April 10. I'd have much of April 6 and all of April 9 to just hang about.

C'mon, this is totally do-able! Who wants to go with me?

 

[Ellestin]

i thought you were fucking joking. i assume every city in germany to be run down industrial concrete hell.

Well your asumption more or less applies to several übercities which have been partly to wholly ground down to the nubs. I don't know how bad Nuremberg was destroyed but today it's a lovable place, old-fashioned Frankish style.

I would but my schedule around this time is a maze. If I somehow manage to make it we'll make an appointment.

Snow2Fall might be there, for all I know she's more of a festival freak.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

It's all viking/pagan/heathen/folk metal ->

Yeah I agree. I spent a day there and thought it was pretty cool. You can still sense the nazi power...!

 

[lizard]

you can't go to nuremburg and not see lovely medieval Rothenburg!!
(Snow2Fall is laughing because I am a tourist)

it is pretty wierd to go to the stadium and STAND WHERE HITLER STOOD and walk WHERE THE SS walked, very spooky
