Another Round (Druk).

 

I had saved up a bunch of money in the years following college, and eventually decided to take some time off in 1977 to hitchhike through Europe. My then-girlfriend (and later, first wife) introduced me to the Danish family which had hosted her in a high-school foreign-exchange program. Their son was my age, so she recommended that I visit him at the urban commune in Århus where he lived. When I met him, he suggested we get to know each other by visiting several pubs. We ended up drinking what seemed like gallons of snaps (akvavit) in a bar crawl that has become legendary (in our minds, at least) as The Death Tour. (He later came down to the Côte d'Azur and helped me set up a teeshirts-to-the-tourists biz that failed miserably. But our friendship has lasted more than 40 years.) So when the Danish film Another Round came out, we both said, "Death Tour!" He has just sent me an invitation to his commune's 50th reunion, and now I'm a little worried. ;-)
