Singles Tag Ahem 11.11 11:00

My first experience with going out in Köln was this magical day of debauchery. What tickles me is no one would explain what the hell I was getting myself into. Up until that day there were hushed conversations in Heumarkt back alleys, VHS coffee break rooms and every single Primark anprobe about Elf Elfsten. However, no one would elaborate to the new fish just how this thing actually works. From what I observed until the eve before is people needed costumes. They didn't have to be fancy costumes as this was just the start of Kölner Karneval Season. For this day was just a preview to the fun to be had for nearly four straight months. Oh how the German works so very hard and looks forward to a time of masquerading, drinking, vomiting and singing ... preferably all at the same exact time. This was my first and last 11.11. I realized I am way too damn old and much prefer the more regal events wherein the food is catered and the Dreigestirn comes through like a royal court. You know the parties for the old farts where the tables are far too long for dancing and parading about. The kind of parties that require the luxurious costumes and not a cow pajama complete with teets. Jaja ich verstehe this day is more for the students who don't need much an excuse to drink until the streets are filled with bodily fluids and pfand. The rest of the events are more geared for everyone else and that is why there is candy and mett. I will be there in costume for that no need for the raw pork though.
