As has been the case several times in recent years, sometimes on New Year's Eve, sometimes in autumn or in summer, we want to meet again this summer for a cozy get-together in our 'small' garden. Today we celebrate our 13th 'Chill' & Grill'. So where does this strange event name come from? Well, it's our 13th event of this name, so we've done a little research on the number.
The number 13 is considered an unlucky number for many. That's why the 13th floor or the 13th row is often skipped in hotels or airplanes. And Friday the 13th is also said to bring bad luck: If the thirteenth day of a month falls on a Friday, the probability that something negative will happen to us on that day is supposedly particularly high.

The omniscient encyclopedia Wikipedia writes:
Thirteen (13) is the natural number between twelve and fourteen. It is odd and a prime number. It is considered both an unlucky number and a lucky number.
Thirteen is considered an unlucky number in many cultures. The irrational, superstitious fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia. People with this phobia avoid rooms, floors or the number 13 in general. This widespread phobia or superstition goes so far that the 13th floor is sometimes “missing” in buildings, i.e. it is skipped; In many passenger aircraft, the 13th row of seats is omitted from the numbering. In some hospitals and hotels there is also no room number 13, and in many motorsport series there is no starting number 13. In the German Social Code there are Book SGB I to SGB XII and SGB XIV, and a designation as the Thirteenth Book of the SGB was deliberately avoided. .....
And what does this mean for our event? Nothing! So just:
We're having a cozy spring/summer/autumn barbecue event!
As always, we would be happy to see 'old' faces again or get to know new people. I still haven't been to HQ in Seattle, which I received the appropriate benefits for on my big birthday exactly three years ago, but I called it off, first because of the man in the orange hat and then and then because of this damn pandemic.
Now that our last events have been so well received, we decided to chill out with a nice barbecue event.
As with previous events here, there will once again be a 'money box' where everyone will throw in what they think they have drunk.
Maybe we can have breakfast together again for everyone.
Otherwise, below you will find everything we offer and also what can come from your side.
We are looking forward to seeing new and/or familiar faces and maybe our event will become something regular.
We start our event at 6:00 p.m. and want to finish by 9:00 p.m. at the latest. From our side we can offer the following:
A snifter and corresponding wood Bar tables for a comfortable chat Beer and non-alcoholic drinks for a cost-covering fee Music good mood an event logbook plenty of free parking spaces and and and ....
However, our guests also have to bring some things with them themselves:
If anyone wants something to eat, please provide their grilled food and crockery/cutlery also in a good mood TBs or coins to discover or pass on Fun to party and and and ....
If anyone would like to bring something to eat, nibble or drink, they can indicate this in their 'Will attend'.
Due to planning, we are initially setting the number of participants at 50 people. If more participants register, we will put a waiting list online. The following applies: FIFO - first come, first served!
We are looking forward and hope for numerous registrations, we, that is HyppoderEinzige and Skrolan3!
