Hmmm, maybe. 15th definitely out for me and I'll still be in the UK on morning of 16th. I'll get back to you (and will keep an eye on this thread obv).

It's actually an hour on the train, and I always like to get to Cologne in Advent. I think I can be there, but will let you know as we get closer. I can certainly recommend good places to drink!

where in germany do you live then colin?

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 5 December 2002 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Frankfurt am Main, but I used to live in Cologne.

is frankfurt really only an hour from cologne?

If you ride the super-duper new ICE train, just about.

I can let you know this weekend which is best for me.

I've been looking at the practicalities of this further and I fear only 17th will really work for me. Moreover, it wd have to be a middle of the day or afternoon FAP*. In other words - assuming I can take the day off work - I'd be doing the round trip in a day. I've been checking on train times and I can get to Köln c.11.30am, and the last train back to BXL is around 7.30pm.

*Is this what you had in mind gareth/Colin?

Gareth, have a great time!!!! Go to the top of the Cathedral!!!!
(oh and you should probably bring a bag for vinyl. I think you could find any record on Kompakt there, as well as the marvelous Studio One sides, and maybe some of the Kreisel 7"s as well!)

Yeah, the first Continental FAP was a success. We went here: http://www.freuh.de Our Köbes (Cologne dialect for the waiter/brewer in one of these places) was very impressed with Gareth's rate of consumption. Conversation ranged from European Nationalism over the death of German techno clubs to Ned's carlessness in LA. A lovely time was had by both.

I would have stayed longer, but had to catch a train -- which was late anyway, and as I went up the wrong escalator at the Frankfurt Airport train station, I ended up in front of the shuttered Dorian Grey. Got home at about 1:30.
