a boot of beer (yes, like in beerfest)

Jeff, Stefan (our Swiss Goog intern friend), Ricardo (above) and I went to Bern to grab a boot of beer. (err… two boots of beer) basic rules are

  1. don’t put the boot down
  2. before you take the boot, slap it with your hand
  3. after giving the boot away, slap it
  4. second to last person to drink from the boot pays for the next, and of course
  5. if you’re playing with jeff, slap jeff after every slap to the boot.

there’s nothing like a bit of cold water up the nose to make one feel at home. or like a fucking tourist.

a weekend of shows

Went to Lausanne and Fribourg to see some concerts. Lausanne is pretty rad and has alot going on for younger people. Fribourg was a bit quiet, but in fairness, we were there on a Sunday night.

Raphael Saadiq in Lausanne.

Peter Bjorn and John in Fribourg

This is what happens if you ask PB&J to sign the cd of the opening band :)

and I even grabbed some set lists. apparently the swiss aren’t as fanatical about concert artifacts, so I didn’t have to bicker and fight.

another plus. Like I said, Lausanne has a bunch going on at night, it’s not sterile like other swiss cities. coughzurichcough. A girl at the show pointed me in the direction I should go if I want to party at night. soooo going back.

berlin + munich + oktoberfest

went to berlin on a company funded trip, drank a ton of beer, nursed a hangover while wandering around the city with goran, went on a bike tour of the city, had a nice dinner, drank at a metal bar, stayed up till 6, wandered around the city with goran + ignacio + daniel + john like zombies, met up with lisa, went to a fucking sweet art studio in berlin, stared at some expensive hookers on the same street, ate french fries, paid some guy 20 euro to drive us to munich, drank more beer, spoke broken spanish, drank more beer, and woke up at 11 on monday, in time for work.

unfortunately, I don’t have many more pictures from berlin or munich (I figured I didn’t have to take pictures in berlin since I saw at least 10 dslrs from coworkers, though I’ve yet to see any evidence) and michael took a ton of pics in munich (which are on facebook) but here’s a tiny sampling.

ever since starting work at this goofy company that gives coffee and milk to it’s employees, I’ve been a bit obsessive about trying to make rosettas in my lattes. I haven’t gotten there yet, but somehow I screwed up and made a swan. or at least, I think it looks like one. with a really odd beak.
