Subject: English Stammtisch - Oct. 26th

Hi Everyone
Let's meet next Thursday, October 26th at Herrenkeller Gasthaus starting at 7 pm - Herrenkellergasse 4 - in Ulm.  If you're new to the area - Herrenkellergasse is just off of Platzgasse and very centrally located in Ulm.
 
Hope you can make it for some interesting conversation and of course - if you have magazines, books ,etc. in English that you would like to pass on to others, bring them along next week.
 
New items:
  • I've heard that George is back from the USA.
  • Kate Morse Gaugler had a baby boy - Colin - on October 10th
  • On Sat. and Sun. (Oct.21st and 22nd) there is a dance/theater production in Roxy - Treffen sich 2, that I can recommend. Sorry, it's not in English.  Directed and performed by young people from the Ulm area.    OK, ok - it's Schleichwerbung (is that unsolicited advertizing?).  Jenny, my daughter is one of the dancers.
Hope to see you next week.
Dawn  and   Heather

Hi everyone,

is anybody interested in a 5-week-trip to New Zealand early in January 2007? Maybe with a prior stay in Sydney for a couple of days including New Year's Eve? I already worked out the details of the tour and now I'm looking for someone to accompany me on my trip? Adjustments are of course still possible.

In addition, does anybody have relatives or good friends in Sydney to stay at their home for the New Year's Eve? It's a peak season there and accommodation is unfortunately not the cheapest.

Hope you are interested or have any good ideas.

Lili

Fw: English Stammtisch - July 5th

One more baseball game on July 5th
to celebrate US Independence Day - a day late  
And Canada Day - 2 days late.
 
We could use more people than last time - to have 2 full teams.  It's much more fun that way. Remember - you don't have to know anything about baseball - or be especially physically fit to join in.  It's just for fun.  George and Matt are usually the coaches - and can tell you anything you've ever wanted to know about baseball - but were afraid to ask!
 
Let's meet at the open grass area near Donauhalle - between the Aquarium and the river - at 6.30 pm on WED. evening.  And then go to the Ulm Tent (on the river, behind Donauhalle) afterwards at about 8 pm for something to drink and/or eat.  We should be able to get a table because the concert-goers will be in the tent by then.
 
Bring your sparklers for the occasion - and any English books and/ or information you'd like to exchange with others in the group.
 
Hope you can make it! 
Dawn and Heather
ps - sparklers are Wunderkerzen - and are used on the 4th of July in the US - along with fireworks - as part of the celebration.

            "Inside Man"

Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) plant den perfekten Bankraub. Er und seine Partner verkleiden sich als Maler und dringen in die Lobby einer New Yorker Bank ein. Schnell sind alle Wachen und Geiseln unter Kontrolle. Sie müssen die gleichen Overalls wie die Gangster anziehen, damit die Polizei die Täter von den Opfern nicht mehr unterscheiden kann. Zum Vermitteln werden die Detectives Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) und Bill Mitchell (Chiwetel Ejiofor) zum Tatort bestellt. Das Spiel kann beginnen. Der aufgeregte Bankdirektor Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer) schaltet die einflussreiche Brokerin Madeliene White (Jodie Foster) ein, die neben den ermittelnen Beamten mit den Geiselnehmern verhanden soll. Der Bankdirektor macht sich große Sorgen, jedoch nicht um das Geld seiner Bank. Welches Geheimnis verbirgt sich hinter den Schließfächern?

Mephisto cinema, Thursday thru Tuesday at 9pm and Sunday at 11am

Tale of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under the most absurd circumstances turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, the meaning of friendship and, most importantly, love.
