Oktoberfest and Stargate Premium Series III

Two events on one evening

First we went to the Wiener Stadthalle to an Oktoberfest clone of the chamber of commerce.

Later we went to the Stargate Premium Series III, a house clubbing with DJs like Fedde le Grand at the new Planet.tt in the Gasometer.

Beer prices in Vienna

The event was reasonably okay but the prices for drinks were crazy. EUR 4.30 for 0.33 litres of beer is insane. That’s EUR 6.52 for 0,5 litres. That’s even more expensive than at the Euro 2008 (EUR 4.50) but still cheaper than at St. Mark’s Square in Venice (EUR 12.-). ;-) The beer prices at the Oktoberfest (Wiener Stadthalle) were a bargain compared to this Premium Series III lunacy: EUR 2.50 for 0.5 litres.

For all who forgot it: The regular beer price in the city centre of Vienna is about EUR 3.50 for 0.5 litres.

By the way: At the original Oktoberfest in Munich you get 1 litre of beer for about EUR 8.30 (2008). Maybe we’ll visit the Oktoberfest next year. Let’s see …

Life, Aging and … used one of my pictures

Since I changed the license for nearly all of my pictures in Flickr to Creative Commons (here’s the license in detail), a lot of websites have used my pictures for their projects.

All you have to do to use my pictures is to give me the credits and link back to the original file at my Flickr account. Just make sure that the image is really licensed under Creative Commons as I did not change the license for my pictures of people (portraits and the like). These are still full copyright protected (all rights reserved to me) and it’s not allowed to use them without my written aggreement – before usage of course.

Life, Aging and … used my picture of a fork for one of their articles and gave me the credits for the picture by linking back to the original. :-)

Thanks folks, nice blog! :)

lifeagingand.com useder one of my pictures :)

And by the way: A lot of other websites allready used my pictures. Just google for vizzzual.com and check out some of the results.

Some examples:

And yeah, there’s no picture taken with my camera today. This is a screenshot as I forgot to take a camera picture. Once again. It happend before here, here and here. Today was the fourth time. Well that’s quite ok as it’s the 238th day of the year and I managed to take a picture with my cameras on 234 days.

And I’m still within my rules for Project 366. :mrgreen:

Stockholm Fine Festival Beer

I really like the supermarket at our local IKEA. It’s nice to buy swedish food here in Austria. :-) They even have reindeer ham. I always think of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer when buying 200g of it. I think I can even hear Jingle Bells when eating the ham. Well, at least after several cans of Stockholm Fine Festival Beer I can for sure. ;-)

Flowbrothers: We love the green veltleen

Do you remember Lee and Ina? I talked about them three months ago in my Kaizers Orchestra concert post.

Flowbrothers party

Today we were invited to a Flowbrothers party which is normally held once a year. The Flowbrothers are a clique of people who call themselves Flowbrothers. I don’t know all the facts and reasons behind that but I think it’s a cool name, and that’s enough for me. ;-)

Lee – the Flowminister

Lee The Flowbrother

Lee is one of those “Flowbrothers”.  He invited me several times before to one of those famous parties but I never got took the time to join their party. This time we made it. :-)

Thanks a lot for the invitation and especially for the green veltleen ;-) and the great, great snacks and cakes.

Party on! :-)
