Thanks to all who turned up for last week's Friday Night Drinks at the Bachus Center in Ljubljana. We had a fun and lively evening, and a pretty good turnout, despite the rather unfriendly weather and a few other popular events happening on the same night (i.e. Swan Lake in Tivoli, Spanish dinner, etc.). 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 social network website and say hi or leave comments for any new people you may have met on Friday.
Special thanks to Ljubljana Life Magazine for sponsoring the free food on Friday.
We look forward to meeting everyone again in February... details will follow by email, the website and the blog. If you have any friends who would like to join us for future events, be sure to pass the word along or send us their emails so we can add them to the mailing list.
See you next month!

Friday Night Drinks Tonight at Bachus!
Sorry for not posting this to the blog sooner...
The holiday season may be long over, but the good news is that Friday Night Drinks is returning this Friday, 23 January, at 8:00pm at the Bachus Center in Ljubljana, located at Kongressni trg 3 (you can see the entrance across the park from the Philharmonic building). This is our first event of 2009, so be sure to come and help us kick off another exciting year of FND, and join us for a good-luck toast to the new American president, who takes office this Tuesday.
We'll also have some free snacks waiting for everyone by the cocktail bar... be sure to arrive early, mark the date on your calendar and pass the word along to any of your friends who might like to join the fun.
See you on Friday at the Bachus center!

Friday Night Drinks Report # 34
Thanks to all who turned up for last week's Friday Night Drinks at the Dvorni Bar in Ljubljana. We had a stupendous evening, with quite possibly the highest turnout for any of our events! Special thanks to the ICS Band for cranking out some great tunes on Friday despite the challenging acoustics and an erratic sound system that was not quite up to par with their debut performance two months ago. In any event, they deserve lots of credit for a job well done and we'll be happy to welcome them back again next year.
We've posted some great 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. Thanks also to Kevin from Slovenia Relocations for sponsoring several rounds of free drinks before the concert started. You can find his special business offer for FNDers below.
We wish everybody a happy holiday season and look forward to meeting again in January. If you have any friends who would like to join us for future events, be sure to pass the word along or send us their emails so we can add them to the mailing list.
See you next year!

Beaujolais Nouveau!
Sorry for the late notice about this... we received an email from our friend Serge at Bon Appetit this week with the following special offers for FNDers:
1. Beaujolais Nouveau
• On Thursday the 20th, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (and later if needed) : we will welcome the Beaujolais Nouveau ! On that and only that day, either for eating or just for degustating, the first glass will be offered free !
• Until Friday the 28th, Bon Appétit will be open everyday (incl. Sat. and Sun.) from 12:00 am to 12:pm
Of course, the Beaujolais Nouveau that we propose is not a "supermarket wine" - but a true, genuine wine made by a small but exceptional family-owned winery. Nothing to do with those bottles anybody can find in shopping centers...
2. December meals
• For end-of-year meals, we propose that for any meal (lunch or dinner), the Bon Appétit offers a free glass of Champagne ! The conditions are :
- Table of 4 guests at least, and
- Upon reservation (possibly Sat. - Sun.), and
- Invoiced to a company's account only.
• A la carte choice, or 30 € and 50 € special menus, all included, including drinks and coffee.

FND News & Events
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
