Mr. W. bought some hula girl cigars on his honeymoon in Hawaii. Today we smoked one of the sweet girls. And I can tell you, I really liked their taste!

Did you know, that Nazi Germany initiated the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history? They didn’t tell us things like that in school. Thank god, there’s Wikipedia.
Yeah, we managed to visit two of the three events held each year at Stammersdorf. First one was the Mailüfterl and today were the “Stammersdorfer Weintage” (“wine days”). The third and last event will be in October, the “Stürmische Tage”.

This girl – she used an analog Nikon camera – was smoking at the table next to mine.
Today we had some fun at the Folkclub Musikfest 2008. This is a yearly organized and really great festival in my hometown Waidhofen an der Thaya. Waidhofen is located in the north of Austria in a region called Waldviertel. The location of the Musikfest is one of the loveliest and unhurried places imaginable for a festival.
Bread rolls with cutlets:
I tried to beat my personal record in eating bread rolls with cutlets (my favourite snack at the Musikfest) but only managed to eat five pieces and several other stuff like pancakes and French fries (5 P.M. to 11 P.M.). Several years ago I ate 15 bread rolls with cutlets on one day (and several other things I think) and drank one jar of beer with each piece. But the timeframe was different as I already started in the morning and finished at about midnight. Talk about a really funny day. I think I had the greatest Musikfest ever in my life at that time. Up to now …
Some folks at the Musikfest 2008:
He’s the Gnu.
We used to live in the same block.

Berndi (brother of the Gnu) and his lovely daughter Mia (I hope I remember that correct …
).

My best best friend Vroni and Mr. Blumi himself.

Gnu again.

Horst, the prospective husband of Vroni.

Mr. Pfiff, funny as ever. Last time we met was in August 2005. We ran into each other by chance in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower.
I took a picture of him and his wife with the tower and sent it to him via e-mail. Today he thanked me for it. Three years later …

Sandra, the sister of Horst.

Siblings … Do you recognize the similarities?

Mr. Pfiff again.

Preparing for the 30th Musikfest
This year was the 29th Musikfest and I am really looking forward to the 30th next year. Let’s see if the folks from the Folkclub will prepare some surprises for this big jubilee … And maybe I can beat my cutlet eating record.
If you haven’t heard that before: Smoking kills! *cough*
