The last Boat Party of the year is this Wednesday (Dec. 19th) on the ship Eastern Comfort. This is the weekly party known in Berlin for its private party atmosphere where you can meet and talk with people in a variety of languages. The host will help with introductions and arranging language Tandem partners. The party starts 7pm. Entry is one Euro. (A hat will be passed to collect donations for the musicians.)

Around 10pm there's a concert from Robert Lee of "The Frees" with an open invitation for musicians to bring their instruments and form a jam session. You can hear a sample of Rob's music at: http://www.myspace.com/robertleefrees

This week people are invited to bring a little Christmas food to share (please clean up what you bring). The party is hosted by Jesco, and you can talk with him in English, German, Spanish or Portuguese.

Greetings from Seattle,
