Guess that cycle of celebrations started sometime back in 1975, when my parents got married, later siblings of my parents married, then the first children where born, and the whole clan met for their christening. Being Lutheran, some 14 years after the christening we could celebrate the confirmation. Meanwhile all descendants have been through this celebrations, and the next big round of celebrations are the 50th birthdays. With my godfather in January and my great-uncle Günther last weektwo of these get together parties took already place this year.

I did already provide some pictures through my image gallery, but I think a short write-up about those events will be nice for my personal memories. My godfather celebrated his birthday in “town hall” in Neustädtlein. This is more or less a restaurant which can be rented to run it on yourself for your party. This gave the whole event a really familiar touch. My cousins where serving the guests drinks (my cousin Tim works for the Maisel brewery in Bayreuth), the dinner was a buffet, and you could get dumplings! The later layer cake buffet contained home made layer cakes. Of course the party was accompanied by an obligatory solo entertainer. And it was natural, that he did not only play music, but also animated the people to enjoy themselves by taking part in some party games.. Well, this is the place where some sort of generation gap takes place. Where I actually had fun dancing foxtrot with my godmother, or listening to some traditional Franconian dancing music, it was a rather odd to watch a game where a rolling pin had to be passed from person to person. Overall I enjoyed that evening – continuation desired. (Of course I got an almost obligatory, cutting remark, why my younger brother could bring his girlfriend, where I had no one to show..)

Last weeks birthday hat a different setting, the venue was a restaurant in Schönfeld, there where more people invited, and less people I knew. The atmosphere was less easy going than on the previously described party. Somehow I felt a little uncomfy in that environment. Of course I had some nice discussions with my brother, and my uncle (who described all his late computer problems), but I wouldn’t reach a decent celebration mood. The solo entertainer had a great part in this situation. He managed to start and end each of his entertainment efforts with some in my opinion annoying phrases. Well, other party guests liked them.. be invited to check the video and make your own judgment.

On Monday I'll have to chance my about page and state my age as 28. This is the reason why I invited my friends for a drink to the Live Club on Monday. If I forgot you - take this as an invitation. Attached the original invitation text:

Geburtstag feiern, Mo, 29.01. Live Club

Jürgen Hösch (Feki.de) [juergen.hoesch-at-feki.de]

Hallo Zusammen,

am Montag werde ich ein Jahr älter! Leider kann ich dieses Jahr keine so tolle Feier wie die legendären Partys im Studentenwohnheim schmeißen, da ich am 30.1.(!) aus meiner Wohnung in Bamberg ausziehe. Aber keine Angst, ich hab schon noch eine ordentliche Abschiedsparty im April im Hinterkopf

Auch fehlt mir aufgrund meiner Diplomarbeit ein wenig die zeit um allzu ausgiebig zu feiern. Daher mache ich es kurz und schmerzlos bei einer Gelegenheit, die ihr vielleicht sowieso schon zum feiern Nutzen werdet – dem Montagsschwoof im Live-Club.

Ich würde mich freuen dort gegen 23 Uhr mit Euch auf meinen Geburtstag anstoßen zu können.

Jürgen

When I initially got the invitation for Bianca’s birthday party it was obvious, that my current workload won’t allow me to visit her in Zürich. But then she called me tonight.. and she was just too convincing. I was still sitting inside RZ0.07 (my favorite hangout since I don’t have internet access at home yet) and Bianca told me, that Christian would leave for Zürich in 45 minutes. Since I was at the university by bus, this was quite a challenge. But my brother helped my out quite well (I had to borrow his sleeping bag and we had already planned, that he would deliver my old desk chair to me this evening anyway). So he collected me at the computing center and dropped me at my place. With some ten minutes to go until Christian would collect me, I ran into my flat-mate Christian who was about to transport a wardrobe to our third floor apartment. So I was at the right time at the right place to help him. When we were finished Christian already called that he’d be on his way – brilliant timing. We then collected Pia and are right now on our way to Zürich.
