I was really in the mood for a good time tonight. I packed up some stuff, did thirty or so pushups so I would look all nice and buff, and was about to hit the shower when I took a glimpse outside. It was pouring. Luckily it stopped after about twenty minutes and I began to get my hopes up. I mean, sure, the field would get a little wet, but it wouldn&#8217;t matter too much. I got in my car and started driving up around nine. As I neared the into-Vienna-incorporated village of Sievering, close to where the quarry is, raindrops splashed through my sunroof. I was on Agnesgasse, the connector street between Sievering and Neustift am Walde, another wine-producing area of Vienna. The rain picked up and about twenty or so American-English-screaming students ran by towards Neustift. That&#8217;s when I realized that just as last year, this would be another indoor quarry.<br \/>\nI decided to meet up with a few friends in the ninth district for a bit, but then drove back to Neustift with Thorsten around eleven. It was as if a quarry was taking place in the middle of the street&#8230; Students where everywhere. Thorsten and I went inside the Wolff Heuriger and saw that only a handful of people where left inside. What had happened was that, just as last year, students had gone inside and turned this charming, formal, quiet place into a raging quarry. They had brought they own liquor and had caused a disturbance. The staff had stopped serving everyone alcohol and so everyone had gone outside or tried a neighboring heuriger, the staff of which also kicked them out.<br \/>\nAt midnight two cops showed up outside and everyone, with the excepting of myself and two or three other people, ran in all possible directions. What a scene! You thought you were watching a drug bust or a Syracuse bar raid!<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"wolff.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/newkai.com\/mt\/archives\/weblog\/wolff.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><br \/><font size=\"1\">Inside<\/font><\/center><br \/>\nI went back inside for a bit but then we all left shortly afterwards. Outside the group had reconvened and was now hanging out a little further up the street. I then drove Kenneth and Thorsten home and then, on my own way home, passed by Neustift again. Those kids were still standing there! Wow, what a horrible quarry.<br \/>\nYou can watch a short ninety-second video that I filmed\/edited tonight <a href=\"http:\/\/newkai.com\/videos\/quarry2004.mov\" target=\"new\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/newkai.com\/videos\/quarry2004.mov','popup','width=260,height=190,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outside Another AIS event disappointed me tonight.
