Bergfest!

Literal translation: Mountain party.

Ask someone here what a mountain party is, they will say that in the middle of a production, you climb up a mountain, have a party and climb back down again. (Ha ha, Fabian) This amuses them.

But yes, there is a party. No climbing required. It’s like a hump-day party to us Americans, marking the halfway point of a project. We had a barbeque with sausages and reindeer steak, music to dance to, and beer and Jagermeister aplenty. And a special treat for the evening, Uli did a fire show for us! Sorry, no pics yet on that. However, my camera was passed around throughout the evening, so lots of other pics were taken. Here goes with a few:

Groups...





Pairs...




(My favorite pair of the evening: Johannes and Joey!)

Ones...

Ah ha! Our director's true face emerges! Bwahahahahaha! (He'll get me for this one, I know it.)

Sabina - Belated Birthday wishes!

Pretty Nina

Fabian. How can you not like this face?

Manuel! You dancin' fool, you!

And finally, moi...

Oh, and I learned my first insult in German! Du bist bescheuert (DU BIST BISHOYAT) (You are stupid), or, alternatively, Bist du bescheuert oder was? (DU BIST BISHOYAT ODUH VAS) (Are you stupid or what?). Pronunciations are approximate.

Now if only I had someone to use this on…..

6AM call time in the morning… Ugh. G’night.
