Looking Back: The Weekend

Dave, Greg, Walter, Mark, Chris, Jeff & Dave
With our friends Jeff and Dave in town from Milwaukee, we ventured out once again to experience smoke-free Munich. And as we’ve done before with friends in town, we repeated a pattern of dining at Morizz then going to the once-a-month Pop Party (though, last time, because of the smoke, I left early while the night continued on for the Chicago boys).

But unlike the first time, not only did I tag along but we continued the night at NY Club. Pop was full of what appeared to be kids in high school. Besides that, the music was choppy – sounding more like someone pressing fast forward on a CD changer rather than a true DJ. NY Club was better. Actually, not half bad. We once again found kicks by visiting the dark room, or hallway. We did manage to hang in there until 3 a.m. – which for the Lutman/Young household, is quite late.

As a result, however, the next few nights, after sightseeing at the English Garden and a road trip to Salzburg, we rested at home. That was, until Monday night, when Dave and Jeff, at around 10:00, jumped up from the sofa and decided to go out. Their Austrian Red Bulls apparently kicked in – that and they’d probably had enough of lounging with the old people. Bingo anyone?

But it was nice to have visitors once again. Chris and I see enough of one another on a daily basis. Not that we don’t want to spend time alone, it’s just after more than 2 ½ years of quality Chris and Dave time, having friends from back home around the house is welcomed treat – even if that means having Fat Sally Sunday more than once a week (because you can’t be on a diet when friends are in town – what fun is that?).
