Willkommen! EF Wednesday and Thursday

[furtech]

I'm being lazy: I have so much to go through that I'm going to just link to my Flickr photo sets for the corresponding days. There's actually more commentary there than I'd put here anyway, plus you can skip over the boring pictures.

Here's a collage of what's there, though:



Getting There : the flights were mercifully uneventful and not as nightmarish as United Flights have been in the past. Of course, I had to pay $$$ for "Premium" Economy (an oxymoron if ever there was one). I love German airports: so efficient and clean, with plenty of good, cheap food. I also love German postcards. Can't read them, but I'm sure they're hilarious.

Wednesday and Thursday : the con was in full swing Wednesday as I went to register. Huge banners in the lobby added to the breeziness of the large atrium. Plenty of people already in suit, too. I re-discovered how much I love German cuisine, and was exposed to the joy of schnitzel! Speaking of "food", Jimmy Chin's 3am club sandwich has to be seen to be believed-- it'll give you nightmares (literally).

Not related, but I figured you could come up with a million and one uses for this. Spray on clothing. Automatically fits exactly to model, can be washed, and can be layered thinner or thicker depending on desired warmth. plus it can be broken back down!


Imagine being able to spray that directly on to form a seamless fabric covering to work from...

Nice Imageries!

Alright, _where_ did you score the schnitzel?!? I was astonished that the "Il Capo" restaurant didn't offer it, nor the dining room which offered the breakfast buffet; JBadger recommended a "Haus of Schnitzel" a couple blocks east of and north of the train station, and the small breakfast/lucnh counters next to the supermarket had it listed on their menuboards, but they were closed by the time I was able to sneak down there to stock up on Coca-Cola.

...So the ONLY Schnitzel I was able to eat was at the Holiday Inn at the Hannover Airport, Monday night.

Did Jimmy construct that sandwich, or was that actually a creation of the chef staff at the Maritim?
