Drupalcon 2006 Brussels

As a side effect of being a loud mouthed rock n roll beer drinking dane. I somehow ended up with the nickname “the king of denmark”, after Brussels.

Many have asked me about it so heres there story.

First night at Drupalcon we all joined at a touristic bar in the center of Brussels, where you can get Duvel & thats pretty much it, after a bunch of hours tasting the most normal belgian beers, me, an irish and an english decided as people were stumbling out, that we wasn’t done yet and needed to find a better bar, soon were following a bunch of drunk french speaking ladies and ended in a cellar bar, with a phonebook sized beer menu.  The following night drupalcon had decided to meetup again at the touristic hell hole ( decided by Dries & Mike Meyers that thought it was best that we went back to a place we could find instead of “somewhere in a basement in the old part of brussels” … tsk tsk tsk no sense of adventure.)

2 hours later at the bar -  canadian Boris mann asked me about the bar i talked about earlier - Suddenly the whole conference was now gathered they were all looking at me  So I could show em the magic beer place… To this day I have still no idea of how i found the place again, it was pure luck (no smart phones, or google maps in 2006) but we found it. How i later that night found my hotel i still have no idea about. The next day showing up at the venue, people were utterly destroyed & somebody greeted me with “good morning King of Denmark - how are you feeling today ” …

Thats how I got the name "king of denmark” and somehow got to be responsible for “where do we go tonight”.
