The next Friday Night Drinks is still few weeks away, but there are some other events happening this week that may be of interest to FNDers:
1. The ICS Band, which is composed of a group of fellow FNDers, is performing live for the first time in Ljubljana. Here are the details:
VENUE: Sax House bar/restaurant, Trnovski Pristan 4a (in Trnovo along the Ljubljanica river; website: www.sax.si)
WHEN: 8:30pm, this Friday 24th October.
TYPE of MUSIC: mainly classic pop/rock songs of the sixties & seventies, and a few more...
RSVP: Please let the band know if you plan to come by emailing "ics0505expat@yahoo.com" or "dirkvangansberghe@yahoo.com".
2. The Guinness Laughter Lounge is starting up again this weekend, with a performance by the veteran comedian Carey Marx from the UK. We have two free tickets for this Saturday's performance, which we will give away randomly. To qualify, you must create (if you haven't already) or update your profile on the FND website by tomorrow. Just add some more data, upload a photo, connect with a friend, or post a comment on someone else's profile. That's all you need to do for a chance to win!
3. Last but not least, Queen Elizabeth II is visiting Slovenia. According to our inside sources, "she will visit Lipica, Ljubljana castle, attend a Duke of Edinburgh Award ceremony at the Philharmonic and will go on a walk about Ljubljana at 14:30 tomorrow." Rumor has it that she's a big fan of FND, so perhaps she'll join us in town for a drink as well! :D

Friday Night Drinks Report # 32
FND Report # 32
Thanks to all who turned up for last week's Friday Night Drinks at the Bon Appetit French restaurant. We had a really fun evening with a record turnout... we're not sure of the exact number, but by 10.30pm the restaurant had already given away 130 free welcome drinks ...and this not even counting the 'extra' free drinks for the first 40 who signed up on our new website! Judging by the large number of new emails we've collected, we also had a record number of first-time FNDers this month.
We've posted some photos of the evening up on the FND photo blog for anyone who'd like to have a look. Be sure to also visit our new website and say hi or leave comments for the people you met on Friday. Please send any FND-related comments to Gerry here.
Special thanks are due to Tom and the team at PriceWaterhouseCoopers for sponsoring the free drinks on Friday. Let's try to send them some business so that their pockets will be even deeper for buying us drinks next time around ;-)
See you all again next month!

PS: Everyone that signs up on the new FND website will also be eligible to win two free tickets to the next comedy show at the Guinness Laughter Lounge on Oct. 25th.

FND, the economy, and the FND-book
Well folks, the economy may be tanking but rest assured that Friday Night Drinks is doing it's part to help stimulate consumption ;-) Our next event will be this Friday, 10 October at 8:00pm at the Bon Appetit French restaurant located on Miklosiceva 28 (in the basement of Kinoteka), with free food and free drinks sponsored by our great friends at PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Congrats to the first 20 FNDers who signed up for the new FND social network - two free drinks will be waiting for each of them on Friday! Thus far 27 FNDers have joined... still a way to go before we catch up with Facebook, but we're working on it :-) Gerry has also added some new profile questions, so if you were one of the first to sign up, please come back and share your answers. Feel welcome also to suggest some additional questions.
We still have a dozen more free drinks to give away, so if you haven't signed up yet, please do so! To date only one of our French FNDers have signed up... I guess that free French wine at a French restaurant is simply not exciting enough... Oui? Non?
Remember, membership has its privileges! See you all at Bon Appetit on Friday...

Friday Night Drinks Report # 31
Thanks to all who turned up for last week's Friday Night Drinks at the Stara Macka restaurant. We had a really good evening with an excellent turnout of 80+ FNDers from all over the globe. We've already posted some photos of the evening up on the FND photo blog for anyone who'd like to take a look.
There were an incredible number of new people on Friday, from countries near and far including Australia, Britain, Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, Venezuela, and elsewhere. We only managed to collect the emails of a few of the new people, so if anyone happens to knows one or more of these first-timers, please send us their emails so that we can put them on the mailling list.
Also, we'd like to thank Kevin from Slovenia Relocations who sponsored last Friday's free drinks. Kevin's company is offering professional relocation services, and he also has a special offer for a free financial and investment consultation for any of our members who may be interested (see below).
We look forward to seeing you all again next month. Details will be available on the blog and sent by email as usual. We are also starting to organize occasional events in other cities, such as Belgrade and Jakarta. If you happen to know anyone in other cities who might have an interest in helping to expand the FND network, please put them in touch with us!
