New Praktikants and Beer Gardens

New Calgarian praktikants are already starting to arrive!!! 3 new Kehl guys arrived on the weekend: Paul, Dieter and Brandon. They are already into the Baden lifestyle, and things at Kehl are working out well, though a bit crowded (Henry and Bernard are back in Calgary already...so at least it's not SUPER crowded....bye guys!!!).

In addition to the new praktikants, Olivier (old praktikant from Montreal) is visiting Baden for the week! It was great to see him again, and last night we got together for a jam session...Evan and Olivier played some awesome stuff as usual, while Pat and I tried to keep up.

Also visiting are 2 of Adrienn's friends from Calgary: Neil and Matt, so we had a huge crowd of people partying that night!

Last Wednesday after an awesome soccer game we all went out to the beer gardens for the first time this year! The weather was great, and everybody showed up. After last call we moved the party over to Pickwicks (which included some fountaining), and then to the Berg for the afterparty. I'd say it was a sucessful night of showing the new praktikants how to party in Baden :) Here's some pics, courtesy of me, Vance, Adrienn and Neil:



Party time!

Richard, Dieter (new Kehl praktikant), Dan, Nick, Kevin and Tommy having some beer.












Tommy, Rich, Naveen and Vance... not sure who took this one (wasn't me!), but I wonder if they ordered the 5-litre beer?











Neil pulls out the guns... Adrienn is amused












Evan and Travis jousting with some random poles on the way to Pickwicks, haha













Victor goes into the fountain!
Sometime around now Vance's glasses get mangled... he made his choice










Olivier get's his long-overdue fountain toss (we resisted the urge to throw him in when he left in December)

















Neil also went in, for somer reason, haha. Pulls a Devon/Kevin camera move though... I'm pretty sure it still works (freshwater Linds, get it right next time!)















Afterparty at the Berg












Nicholas, Travis and Dan, either excited or scared, lol













Matt, Adrienn, Dieter and Darren














Krispin, Richard, Paul, me, Vance and Pat packed into the tiny Berg hallway












Apples are fun!
