'Sex and the city' vs. 'Reservoir Dogs'

This weekend our flat was at centre stage for the 2 "Goldengnu" bachelor parties: On Friday night it was the ladies' turn and on Saturday the boys celebrated.

The girls' Motto was "Sex and the city" and all Maria knew, was that she will be picked up by a driver at 1915 who will bring her to the location of the evening. She neither know where he will take her nor what she has to expect. The flat was perfectly decorated in pink and white and upon arrival they had reception with drinks at the roof terrace. meanwhile the Thai cook, Miau, which Kerstin has booked served the starters and after an hour the 12 girls made their way downstairs for the main course and then the delicious dessert. After dinner Maria received her present, self-made "Manolo Blahnik" shoes with the girl's pictures on and loads of small, personal presents in the box for Maria from all the girls. What followed was a lot of wine, Prosecco and Gin and Prosecco, Karaoke, more wine and lots of laughter. In the early morning hours then the hardcore team (Maria, Angi, Claudia, Evi and Kerstin) moved on to Passage for clubbing and the driver who picked them up was incidentally the same who brought Maria! When Passage closed down at 0600 the ladies had breakfast from the sausage stand in the Burggarten which just opened up. Kerstin was home at 0730, woke Markus up and then went to bed. Markus himself got up at the time and cleaned up the mess in the flat to prepare it for the boys' night!

The ladies definitely had fun

The initial plan for Mirko was to go to Velden in Carinthia and have a party there, but as the weather was rainy and cold we changed plans and surprised Mirko (who knew somehow what was planned due to a leak) showing up at his flat at 1400 all dressed in black suits, white shirts, black ties and dark sunglasses, just like the the "Reservoir Dogs". He grabbed his backpack and the 3l bottle of Vodka he had prepared and we set off to go to Christoph's, Oliver's and Peter's place where Mirko a) received outfit that matched ours and b) several Vodka shots in each place. By the time we left Peter's we have emptied more than 2 bottles and were working on the third one. On the way to our place Mirko surprised us completely on the highway when he was mooning us! When we came to our flat it was completely darkened, only the TV was on showing 'Reservoir Dogs' and on the table we had a poker set - we planned to play a night of Poker + Vodka with Mirko. Gery brought along a glass-Kalashnikov in a wooden box (just like a real gun) filled with Vodka as 'special' present! What followed was a lot of vodka & beer, noise and loud music, a bit of Poker, Pizzas, Karaoke and more Vodka. Mirko decided to sleep for an hour or so before we headed on to U4 where we continued to celebrate until it closed down at 0600. Mirko, Christoph, Gery, Peter and Markus moved on for breakfast at Cafe Drechsler with Goulash and sausages (Christoph opted for the take-away Goulash!) and Markus&Peter came home just before 0800.

At 1230 on Sunday we met for breakfast with the Sinabells, the Strutzs and Sandra in Museumsquartier. The rest of the day was rather quiet and only in the later afternoon Katrin and Dipak stopped by before heading back to Vorarlberg on Monday.

So in a nutshell one has to say that the two parties were absolutely stunning as far as we can remember, we had lots of fun and our flat was properly introduced with a two-stage housewarming party (luckily our only neighbours are on holiday so we did not really disturb anyone) and now everything is prepared for a decent wedding party on September 6 in Weingut Hillinger in Jois.

In case you want to see some more evidence than the below short video, loads of pictures can be found in the link section as well as Peter's Picasa Webalbum or on the U4 webpage.


We wish Maria and Mirko (+Valentin) all the best for their wedding and marriage!
