Hey man --

 

I'm not coming to Italy soon -- but keep posting! -- I am glad that Brewer fever is setting roots in Europe...

[Thurston Fluff]

Not this summer but probably within the next couple years. When we do go back it would be great to have a beer and celebrate, by then we hope, a championship. Last time I was in Italy, Rome I think, I saw a guy walking down the street in a Green Bay Packers jacket. I thought he was another tourist from Wisconsin but he was actually a Italian Packer fan.

My friend is going to be in Sicily for about 10 months for school. So if you see a short, italian looking guy with brewers stuff on, it's him.

Just got back from Italy in May for a two week vacation. My wife and I went to Rome, Florence, Venice, Lake Como and Milan. It was a great time and I would gladly go back. If it was not for getting sick in Rome and missing the coliseum it would have been perfect.

ok, guys

just put this thread in the back of your brain and remember it the day you'd come nearby.

I have a friend who is in Pisa until the end of the month. Some Italian band hired him to produce their album. He's a decent Brewer fan. PM if you'd like his contact info.

Also, is your avatar picture Brandon Webb?

i became a brewer fan for..the beer! it started slow but since 2004 and with mlb.tv it became much worse. now i am an addict, i don't know anyone else in italy who is a brewers fan (actually i know only a few who are BASEBALL fans) most of the guys are yankees or red sox fan, but i like to be one of a kind!

i never thought we can be into a playoff run but now i m so exited (and sleepless because the games are in the middle of the night).

 

my avatar is cirillo striking out counsell last year!

You should email Brewers.com, I bet they'd love to hear and perhaps share your story.

Ah, too bad..spent some time in Milan, Pisa, and Florence in April. Good food, good wine, and Florence in particular was picturesque..

[DocLuna7]

How far is Genova from Bergamo and Vercelli? Glad to have a Crew fan in Italia.

[kalle8]

a couple of hours.

 

if anyone is intersted, write me a PM.

 

mlbtv included in the package!

[sgtcluels]

That's awesome. In a few years the little misses and I plan on hitting up Europe. If we beat the end of the world in 2012, we'll be sure to look you up.

[LouisEly]

Not coming to Italy, but I'm coming to Slovenia and Croatia the first two weeks of September.

[kalle8]

1 bed + 1 couch + mlbtv without blackouts!

[DatHoser]

My wife's mostly Italian and hopes to go back to the homeland someday, so hopefully it'll happen sometime. Right now we're not in a position economically.

 

BTW kalle8, that is one of the best avatars ever!

I just got back from my sister's wedding in Germany. A couple of the groom's friends were going to Cinque Terre for a few days after the wedding. It sounds amazing. The only bad part about the trip was that I missed the Brewers huge winning streak.

[GAME05]

i hope this isn't getting too off-topic, but maybe this is a good place to post an "I live here, come visit me" comment.

 

i live in Victoria, Texas. of course summer is a rough time here to have a vacation, but i'd definitely enjoy talking to some Brewers fans if they happened to be down here.

[buckeyesteve]

We are heading to Italy next summer. My family apparently is from Tirol or

Tyrol, near the Austrian border. There is even a hotel with the family name somewhere over there.

[kalle8]

up.

if anyone is interested.

read 1st message.

[FVBrewerFan]

We're planning a trip to Europe next year. Problem is, she really wants to go to England, while I want to visit Italy. Then to complicate things even more, I would maybe want to travel from Italy through Austria and Switzerland up into Germany.

 

So, we go back and forth. We like to see the tourist stuff when we travel, so we also like to just hang around ang get a feel for an area. If we extend the trip to all these countries I fear we'll lose out on that. To be continued...

[kalle8]

read the first message and let me know!
