Yay! I must put the dates in the diary to maintain my perfect attendance record. 
Thanks f0zzyNUE for organising the excellent weekend. ^ I find and learn something new every time I visit Nuremberg and am looking forward to meeting new and old friends in 18 months’ time.

Finally a big "Dankeschön" to all attendees for coming, being on time at meeting spots, not getting lost during the walking tours (well except one lost soul in the Christmas market crowds


Many thanks for every drink you invited me to and all the small presents.
I'll be happy to welcoming you back in NUE in June 2021 for the 7th edition!
See you next time or at another DO.

Back from Paris and popping in to express my belated thanks to f0zzyNUE for all his efforts in organizing another fantastic DO!
As always, it was great to see old friends and meet new ones.

The strike had its moments...mostly because I was staying South of the city (Arcueil) and the status of what transit was affected changed frequently. Had I been staying in the city center, the impact would've been minimal.
FYI, entrance to the NUE lounge is no longer handled by the airport info desk. They refused to give me a code & told me if no Lounge agent was on duty, I would need to speak with someone at Movenpick? Of course, there was no agent at the entry when I arrived but luckily one eventually showed up.

We were lucky to have one of the last Sunday brunches at Terminal90. The location will close tomorrow. We will see what will follow to keep the airport brunch tradition alive.

Hey f0zzyNUE, any chance of a December 2021 DO for the Christmas markets this winter?
MayJune 2022 might be more realistic. In case anyone plans to come to the Christmas market - I am happy to be around.

Hi, thanks for asking. I don't plan anything for 2021 as the corona situation is still too fragile and unpredictable - especially here in Germany where we are way behind the vaccination schedule. Lots of summer festivals are already cancelled.

Availability looks to be no problem (not a surprise). I'm going to book something for the weekend of Dec 3-5, 2021. Encourage any previous or new Franconian fans to join me and f0zzyNUE. Open to suggestions on other side trips to combine this with. After all the DOs have to re-start somewhere.
