We arranged to meet at 7pm and for the first time in a ages I actually arrived promptly, unfortunately no-one else did. By the time everyone had arrived it was 7:30 and the gig was supposed to start at 8. We looked round for somewhere to eat and with no Shushi place to be found we were pondering whether to just get food in Die Fabrik itself when Dominike spotted that they had 'weisswurst' and got all excited and rushed inside, so that settled that. Weisswurst (white sausage, in case you couldn't fathom that out) is a Bavarian specialty, it's essentially two white sausages cooked and served in boiling water, you then have to peel off the skin and eat the sausage with sweet mustard. Despite being unnecessarily awkward it was incredibly nice, especially with beer.
The bar itself was classic Kreuzburg, with a cool and unique look to it:
Around 8pm after chatting with us, Rob Longstaff (the musician) started playing. It was a really relaxed atmosphere, with the music, the beer, and just chatting away to everyone. I'm not trying to demonstrate that point with this picture, I just couldn't be bothered to get up and take it from a better angle.
Around 11pm we started thinking about moving on, so I did a quick Google maps search for 'Shisha bar' in the local area and apparently there was one quite close. As it turned out, Google maps had pointed us to a Lawyers Office, not quite the same. So we went to a nearby bar and had a final drink there before heading home. Of course, that wasn't until after the last train so I took a taxi home.
Not exactly to plan, but a bloody good night nonetheless. Hopefully our plans for Sunday will go a bit better. We'll see.
