Schoenbrunn reprieved!


The Jackson memorial bash is off, postponed to June 2010 and relocated to London. There have been some mumblings from Jermaine Jackson that he felt insulted after Viennese labelled the headlining acts 'B-grade artists'. It also appears someone had forgotten to let these headlining acts know they were going to appear.

Lucky escape for Vienna? What do you think?

So, 'castle' Schoenbrunn is safe, except from Andre Rieu of course.

As usual, I return to the trusty Austrian Times for the scoop. In tried and tested AT style, you can check out this week's choice story on the 'eco-vibrator' too.

Personally, I think it's a *big* reprieve for Vienna. Vienna has been 'kitsched' quite enough by Andre R already!

Ah, the AT. Yes, the eco-vibrator was quite a story but then there was the baker's apprentice who fell into a vat of orange syrup, not to mention the man crushed by a 200 kilo gravestone.

I'm just waiting to see how the AT might get a story where they could combine the vat of orange syrup, the eco-vibrator, the fart fine and the gravestone. I think we should be very glad Rex doesn't derive any of its story lines from the illustrious Times.

Would have been a bit .... er .... well,

The Zauner Erdbeercremeschnitte really is addictive - I find myself adjusting my schedule around it when I am in Bad Ischl. ;-)

Give them time at Rex - should they run out of storylines, alsatian in a vat of orange syrup, here we come!
