EPTHOW THIS WILL WORK!!
Plan:
We will meet on the big stairs of the south entrance at 6:45PM/ 7:00PM and walk over to the restaurant. Please be on time since the reservation is for 07:30PM. Meet me there or come to the restaurant yourself at that time.
Bring money as no one will pay for you and we want to avoid troubles. Enjoy the night. Reservation is booked for 75 but the restaurant is informed that there will be more people coming most likely and they told me its not a problen. I don't have a "check-list" so whoever comes first.. gets a seat. See you there.
Address of the restaurant:
Restaurant OASIS
Kennedy Ufer 1
50679 Köln
Tel.0221/814441
UPDATE +++++++ UPDATE +++++++ UPDATE +++++++ UPDATE
I have good news and I have bad news. First of all the Café Especial doesn't accept my reservation, because they already have a reservation booked for that evening so... they don't want to accept a reservation for 75 people. I asked HasuObs if he knew others places where we could go to and suggested the Restaurant Oasis ( http://www.restaurantoasis.de/weg.htm )
I called and usually they close at 11:30PM CET but I asked if its possible to close later and he told me that even 1 PM or a bit later should be no problem. The gamescom does close at 6PM CET so I asked for reservation at 7:30PM CET ( 8/17/2012) ... so everything is settled. This place is a bit more expensive but the variation of food is also a lot bigger... to sum it up
Reservation is booked!

I hope that does work for everyone. Walking distance to the place is like 1km.

Hello lovely Teamliquid community,
once again we are approaching the gamescom which comes with an amazing Starcraft 2 main tournament and probably a few smaller invite tournaments as well. At least thats what we got to see last year with the HomerJ tournament and XMG's Cup-Final.
It might be a bit early to start the thread, but the sooner I have a list of people that would like to attend or an actualy confirmed number, the sooner I can take a reservation for a restaurant / bar. Past two years have shown that the following place
Café Especial (http://www.cafe-especial.com/)
is very close to the location and everyone had great fun there. 2010 we still had minor problems with sharing the bill and a few guys already left, thats why we decided that everyone will pay for their own stuff immediatly after serving and I think everything went pretty well in 2011.
After the party friends and me were there again to grab some drinks before the ESL players party and I did talk to the restaurant manager and he was pretty happy about what he got out of the reservation and also the Teamliquidians behaviour. I asked him if I could possibly get the whole place for the next year and besides he obviously couldn't accept it right away, he didn't disagree in the first place.
For this year, I plan on actually doing it. Last years reservation was 80-100 persons and it was packed. We actually had to open up another room which we used as the 'progamer / caster / close friends' area. This was by no means to get distance between players and fans, but just to guarantee the progamers can have good talk because obviously its rare that you have so many progamers/friends in one place.
By no means anyone was denied to enter that room / talk to players or commentators etc. Most of us were standing outside smoking or drinking cocktails anyways, so please don't take it as a negative thing.
As I said, I'm planning on booking the whole place if needed, but obviously if we get 'just' 80-100 persons, I'd do the same reservation as before.
Obviously if someone isn't satisfied with that place or isn't satisfied with me organizing this meetup for Teamliquid, please let me know .. but I guess everyone was pretty okay and satisfied last time.
For now, I'll leave you with two polls and the chance to leave comments, feel free to shoot me a PM. As I do not know if the players party will be on friday or saturday, I'll have more than just two polls actually , haha.

Your vote: When should the Meetup take place?
Please note, if the outcome of the MeetUp poll does create a 'conflict' with the ESL players party, we'll have the meetup on the other day, as usually all casters and progamers want to attend the players party and the meetup and I don't want to split up people.
