Beautiful woman at the Jakobsstreet

Saturday night at ten thirty, he was the proudest barkeeper or Weimar. 
Sunday at twelve thirty he was the unluckiest fellow. Three days later 
Matthias Bugs can smile again about his misfortune.

Weimar. How the Jakobsklause got the honour to welcome world star Chris 
de Burgh, barkeeper Matthias Bugs knows an explanation. But how just on 
this night the guestbook isn't there, he still shakes his head about it. 
- Team and management of the Irishman had already come to Weimar prior 
to the concert evening at the castle courtyard. At the evening they 
walked through the old town and liked the rather young restaurant at 
the Jakobsstreet, especially its waitress Katrin Beyer. She was 
heartbroken that she had to reject the invitation for the concert the 
next evening. But work was more important. So the young woman was even 
more pleased, when de Burgh's assistant Chris Andrews reserved a 
special table for the night - discreetly insulated from the entrance 
by green plants.

For the waitress the excitement just started now. She wanted to at 
least have her hair done - but failed because of the time of day. No 
hairdresser could give her a hair repair on Saturday afternoon. - Chris 
de Burgh didn't think that necessary. For him she was the "very 
beautiful woman" from the Jakobsstreet.

But at first the singer had ravenous appetite after his three hour 
concert. The satiation ability of Thringer dumplings was noticed with 
respect. But the appetite came while eating, and so after a toast with 
pork filet and mushrooms he also ordered pasta with extra spicy sauce, 
a salad and a house dessert. And drank Radeberger beer and red wine 
from Chile. They really enjoyed themselves.

Everything was great, until the goodbye: the guestbook! A flyer with 
autograph and a regular guest helped out: He took a picture of the 
celebrity and the team.
