Hallamasch Festival-Austria

[martin ewen]

Any Teutonic or Barvarian or just European among us ever done this festival before? I'd like some background before i put a price on my head.
As its an Austrian gig I must insist on PUNCTUALITY and I insist that your explainations are EXACT. (please don't reply in austrian..I know I deserve it but if you could make do with the vague, ballpark, hit and miss restrictions of english then that would be super, very good, adequate, perhaps useful, appreciated and well recieved.)

[Stephon]

That's "YOU'RE LATE!"

Aaaah, one simple grammatical error and I'm banned from austria for life.
one of my favorites is correcting people when they use the word pedantic.
You interrupt and go " Its actually pronounced peDANtic." The challange is to extend the exchange for as long as you can.
Them, "I don't think so it's PEdantic isn't it?"
You, "No it's peDANtic."
Them "are you sure?"
You, "Yes it's peDANtic."
Them, "It does't sound right."
You, "How do you say it again?"
Them, "PEdantic."
You, (scoffing) "No it's peDANtic."
This sort of stuff used to happen all the time before television

Excuse me. Punctuality is a German trademark. The Austrians are famous for snow.
