So, doug and I are trying something new this trip.. we bought a new camera and camcorder and decided to try doing a travel podcast (similar to the travel shows you see like globetrekker, passport to europe - albiet minus sponsors etc). we'll be podcasting our ventures on a daily basis telling you where we're at, what we're doing... kind of bringing you on the trip with us.

it's the two of us, our travel duck Egmont.. we'll be meeting our friends Christian and Volker on Sunday in Stuttgart (for Volksfest)...Andy (Windycitypilot) on Thursday when we go to Munich...and hopefully Maurice (skyrunner) can make it up to Munich to hang with us... If anyone else wants to join or will be in the area between Frankfurt & Munich (south/southwest area of Germany), feel free to let us know.

you can keep tabs on us at www.nonrevcentral.com in the travel blog section and please, feel free to give us comments and/or suggestions as we'd like to start doing this on a per trip basis, if we can....we just want to "keep it real" so you can see the types of things experienced when traveling abroad.

Enjoy!
 
We're going to totally turn you man! :)

Yesterdays is kind of a mess.

Note to self: Don't start pounding 'masses' of Paulaner Oktoberfest with new friends when you haven't eaten much.

What a wreck. Aye.

But no video evidence! :)

Eh but I have seen you drunk plenty of times. Beware of the beer rager!

;)
 
the podcasts are great! i have one request though, do you think you could continue the podcasts with njc2006? i have to live vicariously through you two. have a great rest of your trip and stay safe.
 
We could try that.. sure!

is anyone having problems viewing the podcasts at all? We're wondering if the compression is too low...

No problems at all. When the vid starts it is a little unclear, but that goes away very fast. The people here at work keep asking me what are you doing? Who are those people?

How come doug isn't getting much face time? :)

BTW, Kristie...........Love the nail polish. :D
 
I'll make sure he gets more face time! he seems to really become one with the camera and says i'm "better at talking to it"...:whatever:
 
Okie doke, I'll do that!

BTW, that beer madchen that sat down with me was totally spontaneous. Pretty cool, eh? :)

Everyone loves a camera......Just paste a GirlsGoneWild sticker on your camera. You may have a few more people sitting down with you. :sarcasm:

In all seriousness, Love the podcasts. Germany looks like a fun place.

Loving the podcasting man...the vids are great. Tell Christian I said hi and that he needs to come back to PHX..soon! Oh and Volker needs some serious screen time!

:)

P.S. And finally saw Kristie in her glasses

111!!!oneoneone!!!11111oneoneone!!!!111
 
we'll be there! looking forward to it! tomorrow is Heidelberg or Baden-Baden or both depending on how quickly we hit things.
 
Nice pic Kristie...gotta love the Schwaben Brau tent! If you guys are looking for a good beir...grab a Rothaus Tannen-Zapfle (they have it at most "party stores" or 7-11 type places). Favorite beer from Black Forest area.

Send your train schedule tomorrow and we'll see you and Doug on Thursday!
 
Whoops!

I just realized that I posed this from Kristie's account. DOH!

The new ones are up. I'm going to bed!

The only bad thing about videopodcasting is that it adds another two hours onto your night when you're dead tired. It's like 0130 here in Stuttgart and I'm getting up at 0730! Yowza!

I hope you guys enjoy them. Check out the German girls run on the "Heaven and Schnell" post.

BTW, the Schwaben Brau tent rules all. Nothing like a ice cold stein full of Hefe. Nectar of the gods!

I'm going to bed, aeigh!

Another good day of videos. It's good to see Doug get some face time. Love the FA demonstration. If this pilot thing doesn't work out, you have a future.... :D

One thing I've noticed from the podcasts is the voice portion tends fade at times and its sometimes a little hard to hear.. I think if if the mic turns slightly from either of you the sound fades....

Now get some rest so you don't have to run to your train....

Schnell, Schnell (sp?).............. :)
 
Thanks for sharing your trip with us Doug & Kristie. Looks like a lot of fun. Have a beer for me will ya? You guys sound like great people. Would love to meet up with you guys sometime. Have fun!
 
Thanks DC!

The new stuff should be up in the next five minutes from today (Wednesday).

I'm discovering that the Germans love to dance and sing to some of our most cheesiest songs, which is probably why they love David Hasselhoff. It's scary.

Enjoy!

BTW, I post dated todays stuff so the earliest posts are towards the top and the latest from today are towards the bottom so it's got some quasi chronological order.

Well it's about 2am and we're taking the "ICE" out to Munich to party with WindyCityPilot in a few hours and I've got to get some sleep. It takes about an extra two hours to do all the video stuff so if you guys aren't looking at it, I'll castrate you! :)

BTW. Make sure you watch for "how the konig rolled".
