Taste of London - 21-24.06.07 - Regent's Park
Dear Fighter,
I have survived it . Taste of London is over. 4 days event, 6 days including set up, 612 bottles of Laurent Perrier, 2000 Demel's Sacher cake and one ruined suit later.
The event was a true sucess even though it turned inot a mud fight on the last day. Guests were happy though and didn't mind the bad weather or the muddy carpet.
It is always a pleasure to be around some of the best chef's from London and the world.
Here are some impression from both the front and the back of the house.

AEHL - Handover InterCon - Park Lane
Dear Fighter,
today, I attended the handover of London Stamm of the Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne to the new Stammvater / council at the InterCon Park Lane.
Being an alumni and member of the council I / we were honored by the managment to generously host this event in true EHL style. Champagne, Pimms, strawberries and fingerfood.
Further, it was good to see that we were able to generate a large attendance of about 40-50 people, who all provided positive feedback to the change. We hope that we will be able to bring the stamm alive and very active again.
A big thanks again to Gary, who skillfully and pationatly led the stamm for almost 30 years. We hope that we can follow in his footsteps.
Dates to remember: (contact me for details)

...wondering about the world
Dear Fighter,
what has happened to this world. Today, i realized for the first time a TV ad on German TV for Betty TV and I lost the last faith that I had into humanity.
To summarize, Betty TV is a piece of electronic that is basically a mobile phone loaded with a gaming software on which you can play games that relate to a TV show that is shown on German TV. Basically, the presenter asks a questions and you are able to answer by clicking the right button and maybe you win. Amazing, the IT part of it, but what has happend to us. Game shows were bad enough, then came live "call in" quize shows, then a tv channel dedicated to it (9Live - that actually makes money and runs profiable) and now this.
Reality - OK, Interaktive - OK but this.... I can't put it into real words but it is annoying me that an organization can actually make money with this. I am not condemming the organizations, NO, I am condemming humanity for participating.
However, in essence, give the people what they want / ask for.

Current Update
Dear Fighter
he has chosen to use the I, as I think the "he" was quite stupid. Anyhow, one learns....
What is going on in my life. My job is still occupying about 75% of my life, i sleep about 20%, therefore, i have 5% left for my private life. However, this has been a constant since about 8 years. Why? Because I am stupid about work. ;-)
Currently working on on a project/event where the company that i work for will cater the
British Airways Executive Lounge and it's own stand with the Demel.
The Event is called Taste of London and takes place at Regent's Park in London.
I will post picturs afterwards.
