I’m about to leave for the First European Identity Conference in München. A number of people already have contacted me wanting to meet, and I’m looking forward to doing so.
Having been born there, and worked there for a while with BMW, and then run away to California ;-) I’m also looking forward to some real beer and Schweinshax’n and what have you, although we do have Gordon Biersch in Palo Alto (who got a master’s in brewing from Munich) and a German butcher in Palo Alto where you can have a lot of stuff one would not expect in California. There’s even a half-decent baker in Santa Cruz who amazingly enough, has managed to get his German farm bread distributed through at least one of the Safeways around here.
I’ll be coming in late Sunday and leaving Friday morning. So if you want to chat, please do intercept me, and the closer it is to something I can’t get in California on the down-to-earth Bavarian culinary circuit, the better ;-)
