For the 11th time the Austrian Bears invited to the great Bear Congress in Vienna, and again the event was a big success!
On Wednesday, May 20th 2009, the 11. Vienna Bear Congress started with three Warmup Parties in “Alte Lampe”, in “Schik cafeBAR” and in the “SLING Cruising Lounge”. On the first day already the atmosphere was boling hot, and that was ot the consequence of the summerlike temperatures in the city. The reunion with old and new friends had been celebrated intensively until the early morning.
On Thursday, May 21st 2009, the visit of an original Vienne Heurigen was on the schedule. Like in the last years we've been at “5er Pflug“, where more then 100 hungry bears were fed. The guests from Europe and even the USA had a good time with vienneseSchnitzel, stilts, wine, beer, original Viennese Heurigen music and a humorous reeding.
On Friday we continued with a hot event - in „Kaiserbründl” we met for the Bear Sauna. Everybody who had some more body juices to waste had the possibility at “Club Tresor” at “BallCanCan” at the party with hot rhythms from the Balcans until the early morning.
On Saturday we had our "educational program": In the Haydn-Haus we had special tours for the bears. In the evening we had aour big Bear Party on the Gerstenboden of the Ottakringer brewery. There we had again a big buffet and the spectacular „Schwuhplattler“, the first und so far only gay Schuhplattler group (bavarian folk dance), and the people were rally enthusiastic about them! DJ Chubbytom and DJ Konski did a great job in entertaining the guests with their Best-of-Disco program. Of course we didn't spare the traditional midnight waltz!
On Sunday it was time to say farewell at the Brunch in „Fabrik“ and to recapitulate the last intensive days.
And you better note this date already now: The 12th Vienna Bear Congress takes place on May, 13-16 2010. The Austrian Bears till try to oranize another interesting and stimulating program.
