Hi,
Finally, I find time to read everything and respond (not used to this kind of
BEST threads anymore, apparently).
First of all, Manu, thank you for the effort. I was best man myself some years
ago, so I know what it's like ;)
I am starting to get excited for Saturday. Most bachelor parties I have been to
were pretty memorable - and now in a BEST context ... ;)
Here are my comments:
Bratislava - This was an idea for almost all bachelor parties I have been to,
but it would be cool to finally make it happen for real.
Transport - I can offer neither car nor driver, but I am fine with either taxi
or bus/train (I have a Vorteilscard).
Time - My experience is that everything takes longer than expected during
bachelor parties - that should be kept in mind. However, I am flexible about
beginning and end. If people are available at different times, we could have a
slow start in the park with some beer, or so, until everybody has joined. Like
a warm-up ;)
Costs - Of course I am fine with splitting costs for Rudi and shared stuff,
like transport.
Strippers - I went to a strip club (Beverly Hills in Vienna) once during a
bachelor party and it was quite a rip-off, although I negotiated a discount
beforehand. Manager, waiters, strippers, DJ, it's all about money, not about
having a good time, and you can really tell from the whole atmosphere. But
maybe it's different in Bratislava. Anyway, it's a bachelor party, so fine with
me.
Musicals - My girlfriend actually works at Ronacher, so she personally knows
most of the musical actors and actresses. If I ask her, maybe she could get one
of them (probably not the main characters) to sing with Rudi and us in the
streets of Vienna for some minutes. But it would have to be well timed, as
there are 2 shows on Saturday.
Shirt - Okay, I have a blue/black polo.
Suiting Up - I am not too fond of suits in my free time. But blue jeans with
polo shirt and sports jacket (Sakko) would be an option as well.
Beard - Okay, already in place, although not exactly Rudi-style, but good
enough, I guess.
Red hair - Okay, no important meetings next week ;)
Pre-Meeting - Filled in the doodle (rather busy this week).
General - Most important is to keep the momentum during the night ;)
See you soon,
Stefan

As far as I have seen, the trains tickets are 15 EUR in ONE direction (at least
if you don´t have Vorteilscard).
cheers,

Going back around 4 would also fit my schedule well.
For the record: Trains go about the same time 4:24, 5:42 but are slightly more
expensive (15 Euro there and back).

concerning the starting time:
as already said, since my girlfriend and I have to move stuff on the
weekend, I´m also more in favor of starting a bit later and staying
longer. So what about taking eurolines. In that case we get the ticket
there and back for 12 EUR per Person:

We could leave Vienna at 17:30 or 18:30 and go back at 4:20 or in case
we want to stay longer at 6:25.
cheers, Hubert

I think we won't be unified anyway, i.e. some blue, some black, and
probably wearing pull-overs or something above it if/when it gets
colder. But it's nothing with a logo or slogan that you often see also
in Vienna for bachelor parties.
Rudi's t-shirt is in the making as we speak (I'm sitting in Café
Berlin on the Siebensterngasse, waiting for the printshop 200m from it
to finish it). They did not have polos, but good quality dark blue
t-shirts, so I settled for that one, I think he'll appreciate the
theme.

Hmm, let's try a compromise :) What about leaving at around 4 PM? Then
we are there at 5 PM, probably starting inside of an underground pub,
so if we start there and take e.g. one hour, we have then 2h left
outside.
But I'd like to hear more opinions before I book the taxi :)
That is, I would then probably not have a female driver available for
the kidnapping because she'll be scuba-diving at 6 PM, so that is too
short... anyone else having a willing driver-friend (with car)
available, or should we just go all with public transport?
> Transport:
> I am fine with splitting the cost for Rudi and with the price.
Ok cool. Atm I am thinking that if we pitch all in with 25 € / person,
that should cover the taxi + the t-shirt + a large amount of Rudi's
drinks for the evening.
> P.S. So you are really considering bringing a laptop with you? :D
Uhm, we'll see about this :) If we can find something cool to do with
it, why not!
