Hello everyone,



 Manuel, I like the idea of kidnapping him to Bratislava and doing the
partying there very much!



This might be a bit more difficult to organize but It would be even better
if only two/three of us appear at his place, blindfold him and  take him
(Could we rent some transportation? Ask some car driving female Best friend
for a favour / reimburse the costs etc...)  directly to the place in
Bratislava (some underground bar) where the rest of us would already be
waiting...it would take him some time to realize where the hell he is :D
:D  What do you think? Would that be doable?



As I read, Bratislava is a common place for the British stag parties.  I
guess the locals are probably sick of groups of drunk men abusing the
east-west price difference so  my suggestion would be maybe not to do the
obvious t-shirt-this-guy-is-getting-married-thing but rather to go for
something subtle.  I find the idea that we all wear Rudi  style facial hair
fantastic! :) We should really agree on that soon enough so everyone has
enough time to grow it.. :D



I guess that we will be doing some pub crawling in BRA. Manu do you have
some ideas already? I have a Slovak work colleague (I know that's hard to
believe) so I will ask for some route  recommendations.



About the geeky programming ideas, maybe I'm wrong, but I would not put too
much of an emphasis on that.  He is, and will be, doing it for his whole
life so maybe the bachelors party should be spared.



I also find it really sympatisch how Manuel carefully asked about the
strippers and nobody answered. I personally have a strong moral codex that
forbids me to look at underdressed women dancing around poles. But, just on
that special night, just that one time, I am ready to sacrifice it.

......

Sacrifice it because that is what friends are for.



Seriously, at the last Alumni Stammtisch Rudi was telling a story about how
they visited two strip clubs in Vienna and were kicked out. I don't
remember what was the occasion then but we have to make it right this
time....



And last but not the least, my suggestion would be for us all to SUIT UP!  It's
going to be LEGEN - wait for it -  DARY!
