City/Town: Luzern
Event Type: Other
Meeting Point: Under the arch at Luzern station

Eh up you gorgeous people!

Tuesday evening sees the big finale of the Luzern Fastnacht, with all the trolls, goblins and brass musicians (in increasing degree of scariness) making their way through the city in a grand parade, surrounded by heavy drinking, random copulation, street fighting and all the other stuff that makes living in Switzerland so pleasant.

So..... if anyone wants to come along in a (dis)organised EF mob, I can arrange to be under the Big Arch at the station at about 19:00, ready for the start of the parade at half past.

RSVPs aren't binding, but are simply to give me an indication as to whether it's worth interrupting my drinking to go back to the station at seven o' clock or not...

I shall bring a small knitted monkey by way of identification...
RSVP'd Yes: 2 (2 members and No guests)
  • Dougal's Breakfast - One has to let one's hair down before the strict abstinence of Lent, isn't it?
  • MathNut - Would you believe I've been here since - well, never mind that - and I haven't been to Luzern yet? High time to do something about that.
RSVP'd Maybe: 1 (1 members and No guests)
  • cyrus - I'll be there, but where?
RSVP'd No: 5
  • Sutter - Damn to far away have fun:-)
  • swisspea - Went past today and it was looking pretty fun...but can't make it for Tuesday - Gotta work on my costume... will be planning for the weekend in Zurich, so if you have a suggestion for then, that would be great.. ;-)
  • Texaner - Can't get an affordable ticket on such short notice, but I'll drink a beer in solidarity — about 7 hours later.
  • raincookie - You know I hate Fasnacht, but the knitted monkey sounds cute.......!!
  • argus - For a 'costume', a cheeky friend suggested I put on dark sunglasses and carry a candy cane and let the Seeing-Eye pup (with only 'L' licence) guide me but I don't think it'd go down very well.
RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

Re: Luzern Fastnacht Parade

now that I got over the shock that you are a sweet lovely looking man and not the rough-ugly/weather marked skin/red eyes/unshaven/wild brute devil kind of man I had somehow matched with some of your posts there ... sigh !!! ... sigh !!! ...

Pictures at last!

.........
You look well and alert, Mr Dougal. I am sure this wide-eyed stare of yours is completely natural and is neither due to the flash nor the gallons of alcohol you have swilled at the event. As for your choice of neckwear, I see you think ahead. No doubt that feather boa will be re-used for the Europride and Street Parade.
