Right Wing Parade/Maisingers

Apparently tonight, in celebration of May Day and the Tag der Arbeit, the conservative fraternities up on the hill here in Tübingen march into the old city quarter and sing nationalistic songs. In a liberal university city like Tübingen, you can imagine how well that goes over. Apparently the police from all over Baden-Württemberg are being called into service to keep the students from fighting. Oh, and the onlookers throw eggs and rotten tomatoes at the parading frat members too.

Now, of course, the smart thing to do would be to steer clear of all this insanity. So, naturally, we're hurrying down to it as quickly as we can so we can participate. Should be a good time. If you don't hear from me within 3 days it probably means I got arrested.

Ciao!
