Last Friday's FND at the Trattoria was very nice evening. The venue worked out quite well this time, and with summer weather arriving, it's great to have a place where FNDers can hang out comfortably both indoors and out. The turnout this time was a bit lower than usual, possibly due to the 'Friday the 13th' factor... or perhaps many of us simply decided to head to the coast to make the most of the perfect weather. In any case, we were certainly far from besting last months perfect FND storm.
The food on Friday was a welcome treat, so we would like thank the Trattoria restaurant and Ljubljana Life magazine for sponsoring the evening, as well as Sloveniarelo.com for sponsoring free drinks and t-shirts. We have some great photos of the evening up on the FND photo blog for anyone who'd like to have a look.
We hope to seeing you all again at next month's FND. As usual, further details will be available on the FND website, the blog, and also in the email invitation. Remember to send us contact info for any of your friends who would like to be on the mailing list. See you in May!

Friday the 13th FND!
This month's Friday Night Drinks will be happening on Friday this week at 8:30pm. We will be meeting at a new restaurant called Trattoria, located in the old town at Gornji trg 33 (just a few doors away from the Spajza restaurant).
There will be some free food again (although not as much as last month) and free welcome drinks for everyone, for which we'd like to thank the restaurant and Ljubljana Life Magazine for co-sponsoring the event. And to top things off, Mark from Sloveniarelo.com will also be sponsoring some additional free drinks and will bring a few more free shirts to give away as well!
We all look forward to seeing you at the Trattoria on Friday. This will be a special 'Friday the 13th' FND, so don't forget to cross your fingers, avoid any black cats on the way to town, and wear your favorite good-luck charm. Even better, bring along a friend or two, superstitious or otherwise!

FND Report # 17, March 16, 2007
What a night! I think that most of us 'regulars' would agree that last Friday's FND at the Evropa was a step into new territory. We filled up the spacious hall quite well with a record turnout of over 140 FNDers, and the consensus seemed to be that the location was just about perfect! As usual, we've got some photos of the evening up on the FND Photo Blog, so if you weren't there this weekend, check out the fun you missed!
The food on Friday was excellent, so we would like to give special thanks to Adin at Newspaper Direct for sponsoring the evening, as well as the Evropa restaurant, which co-sponsored the buffet dinner. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Newspaper Direct, they offer same-day delivery of hundreds of major newspapers from around the world. Check their website or contact them by email for more details.
Thanks again and a big farewell to Juan Roque, who was generous enough to sponsor 50 free drinks on Friday -- we wish him well at his new assignment in North Carolina. Also, congrats to Frank for winning a free bottle of Movia wine as well as Leonardo for winning a bottle of Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey (didn't he also win a bottle of Irish whiskey at last year's St. Patrick's day FND???).
The following night, on Saturday, March 17, a number of FNDers also showed up for Joan McIntyre's annual St. Patrick's day party at the Emonska klet, and as usual it was a wild and crazy evening. Too bad it only happens once a year!
Jim and I hope to see you all again at next month's FND. Further details will be available on the website and also in our email invitation. Remember to send us contact info for any of your friends who would like to be on the mailing list. See you in April!

Reminder, St' Patrick's day FND this Friday
Don't forget to schedule this Friday, March 16th on your calendar. We will be having a special pre-St. Patrick's day Friday Night Drinks event, starting at 8:00pm, complete with a free buffet-style dinner and welcome drink for everyone, thanks to our newest sponsor, the Newspaper Direct company. We'll be meeting this time at the Evropa cafe & restaurant at Slovenska 47 in Ljubljana (on the corner with Gosposvetska), which is also co-sponsoring the food.
Also this month, one our fellow FNDers, Juan Roque (who many of you may also know from events at the Marine house in Ljubljana) will be leaving us unfortunately, but as a bon voyage toast he has promised to sponsor a round or two of shots or mixed drinks for his fellow FND friends. And in honor of St. P's day, Jim and I will sponsor a free bottle of Irish Whiskey for one of our lucky guests, as well as other prizes.
Jim and I both look forward to seeing everyone on Friday. Remember to invite your friends and wear something green, since St. Patty's day starts at Midnight!

FND Report # 16, Feb 9, 2007
Last Friday was a rockin'-good time at the Premier Pub. We filled up the place quite well with a hefty turnout of 60+ FNDers. As usual, we've got some photos of the evening up on the official FND Photo Blog, so if you weren't there Friday, come and check out the fun you missed! Special thanks to Mark at Sloveniarelo.com for sponsoring the initial free rounds of drinks, as well as to the pub for passing around free shots of boronicevec.
For next month, we are planning a really big FND event that you won't want to miss. We have a generous new sponsor who will be ponying up for some serious food and drinks for everybody, so tell all your friends and mark the 16th of March on your calendar. And remember that at midnight, St. Patrick's day will officially begin, which presents even more reason to celebrate! The following night, on Saturday, March 17, Joan McIntyre will once again organize a fantastic St Patrick's day event starting at 8pm at the Emonska klet pub, and all FNDers are welcome. Anyone who attended last year's event will know that this is something not to be missed!
Further details will be available on the FND website in due time and also in our email invitation. Remember to send us contact info for any of your friends who would like to join the mailing list.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day and see you again next month!

February's Friday Night Drinks
This month's Friday Night Drinks will be happening this coming Friday, Feb 9 at 8:30 pm at the Premier Pub, located on Petkovskovo nabrezje (opposite the river from the main marketplace). Look for the FND logo by the entrance to the pub... we'll have pretty much the entire pub reserved this time.
It's been quite some time since we've had an event at one of Ljubljana's 'traditional' style pubs, so I'm sure that many of you will be looking forward to the evening. The pub has offered all FNDers a free welcome drink (unfortunately, some sweet, sugary poison). Thankfully, our good friend Mark from Sloveniarelo.com has volunteered to step up and sponsor some additional free drinks, and he'll also bring along a few polo shirts to give away as well. His drinks will be first come, first served, so be sure to arrive early!
So come and join us this Friday at the Premier Pub, and be sure to spread the word and invite a friend or two. We all look forward to seeing you there!

FND Report # 15, Jan 5th 2007
January's FND at the Bachus wine bar was a terrific event! Just 5 days into the new year, a lively crowd turned up for a wonderful evening of post holiday cheer. The new location worked out perfectly, so we expect that we will return here again in the future. As usual, we've got great photos of the evening up on the FND Photo Blog.
We'd like to thank the Bachus Center for sponsoring the free welcome drinks. And special thanks also to our outgoing friends Nico & Sunita for sponsoring 50 free drinks! We all wish them well in their new jobs in India.
Jim and I would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2007, and we look forward to seeing all of you again in February. Further details will be available on the FND website and also in our email invitation. Remember to send us contact info for any of your friends who would like to be on the mailing list.
See you next month!
