NYC OPEN SPACE STAMMTISCH - Thurs. Aug 7th, starts 6 pm, at the Pig'n Whistle

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Ruthann,
hope that both your mom will be up on her feet and you will make it to 
the Stammtisch in New York...in Berlin people do bring family and it 
wouldnt surprise me if they started playing cards, too!
As of just now, the Stammtisch is also listed in the Open Space World Map
> http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/
Just click on
MENU
at the bottom of the map
and then on
STAMMTISCHE
scroll down, its just above the SF Stammtisch which is the last in the list.
Both Scott and Esther are linked to the Stammtisch entry, so you can 
click on them and get their contact data (Scott is new to the map and 
does not have his picture in their yet, but I guess Esther will be 
standing outside of the pub and her picture is there so you will not 
miss her).
Lets hear how things went!!
Greetings from Berlin

> stammtische around the planet, every Monday of every odd month at
> 7pm)where people interested in a particular aspect of life, as for
> instance open space, gather for beer (other drinks are perfectly ok) and
> food as everyone wishes and talk with each other about whatever is on
> top of your mind regarding open space (in a broader sense). People come
> and go as they find useful, some arrive at 7 pm (I usually even earlier
> to secure a table and talk to the people in the pub), some as late as 11
> pm and it will usually last until well past midnight. No agenda, lots of
> energy. Last stammtisch in Berlin several people came because they
> needed work (in os, of course), well, they in fact found others that
> were looking for help. So its networking, creating collaboration, new
> ideas are born, people bring stuff for each other to look at (pictures,
> a couple of books of proceedings from recent open spaces, a bottle of
> brandy from Kyiv,  there are always a couple of laptops to show things
> to each other and to write an email to another stammtisch lets say in
> Kyiv or Budapest..).
> Often, there are also visitors from other countries passing through
> Berlin that are real open space stammtisch addicts, they have heard of
> the Berlin one and join. So its international, too."
