I headed back downtown last night to have dinner with the a bunch of Novell and GWAVA guys at the Augustiner Bierhalle. The place was packed. The beer came in huge liter sized steins. I probably could have stopped at one litre, but I wasn't going to let a couple of guys from the Netherlands outdrink me :) The food was pretty good too.
After dinner we headed back to the hotel and broke into two groups. One group sissied out and went to bed and another group congregated in the lobby just outside the bar and continue drinking into the wee hours of the morning. Can you guess which group I ended up with? I had way more jagermeister than I probably should have, but it was kind of fun to cut loose. I don't really drink to get drunk very often but on the rare occasion that I do, I go all out.
I stumbled back up to my room at about 1:30 in the morning. I was dead tired after basically not sleeping since leaving Utah at 3:30 on Thursday morning. I gave Rosey a quick call on Skype, although I'm not entirely sure that she understood anything that I said considering that I was slurring and hiccuping uncontrollably.
After hanging up with her I had the daunting task of figuring out how to get a 7AM wakeup call when the phone buttons and menu were all in German. You would think that you could always dial 0 to get the front desk, but that apparently doesn't work at this hotel.
Unfortunately, I never did meet back up with the two guys that I met on the train. They stopped by the hotel like they promised, before heading downtown but I figured that it was more important for me to hang out with work people considering that they are paying for me to be here. So, I had to cancel my plans with them. I felt bad because they had been really friendly to me and I was hoping to at least have the opportunity to buy them a round of beers to repay them.
