Today was the day of the open city hall in Dresden. We saw the mayor's bling - chain of office and city hall key - and also President Obama's signature in our Golden book. "Greetings from the people of the United States" he wrote, and he brought this clock as a gift. We also met the woman who writes these nice letters into the book with the names - she shall not make a mistake!

I wouldn't have thought I would get another outing for my "Obama in Dresden" tag so many years later! Check it out, there are pictures of his visit in 2009.

Sorry it took so long, but here finally comes the second batch of pictures.

This is the Obama figure I took with me, and a lot of people asked where they could buy one. And a lot of camera teams interviewed me about it ;)

I just realized I never posted the promised pictures of Obama's visit to my home city Dresden. So even though I am a little late I hope you'll enjoy them!

The first picture I took on Thursday evening, this shows the skyline of Dresden. You'll see the Brühl's Terrace, which usually is crowded with people, looking down to the river Elbe. It is also called "The balkony of Europe". During Obama's visit it was in the area which was closed down for security measures and I don't think I will ever again see it so empty:

I'll post the second part of pictures from Friday in a few days.

Since president Obama visited my homecity Dresden yesterday several pictures of me can be found in the web. Apparently people really liked my little Obama figure! I also got interviewed and appeared on some German TV-channels: ZDF, N-TV, RTL, Dresden-TV (and I have it all on tape!); plus my picture is in some newspapers as well: Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, Morgenpost, Freie Presse and a quote without picture in the Sächsische Zeitung.

First, here are the pictures I took that day:

batch 1 (Thursday): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/5585.html

batch 2 (Friday): http://dieastra.livejournal.com/6545.html

And don't forget to look at my story how General O'Neill explained the Stargate programme to the new President: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/3687.html

Picture from Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten:

And at a stand of the Sächsische Zeitung you could get this picture:

It was here when RTL asked me what I was doing at the moment. Well, what does it look like? LOL I need to digitalize the video. It was in their main evening news, and afterwards my mother called: "I've seen you in TV!"

Today was a very special day for my homecity Dresden: US president Barack Obama came for a quick visit. It was a great honor for all of us.


I want to show you some action figure theater: General Jack O'Neill is briefing the new president about the Stargate programme. Because of the lenght of the story I put most of it behind an LJ cut. Enjoy!

A huge Thank you goes to [livejournal.com profile] lolmac for the beta of the English dialogue!

Aus diesem Anlass möchte ich Euch eine weitere Actionfigurentheater-Geschichte präsentieren: General O'Neill weiht den neuen Präsidenten in das Stargate-Programm ein. Weil die Story so lang ist, habe ich einen Teil hinter einem Link versteckt. Viel Spaß damit!

Jack: [knocking] Knock, knock. Do you have a minute, Mister President?



Obama: [inviting] General O’Neill! Sure, come on in. How’s the fishing?



Jack: [jovial] I’m just on my way. But there are important matters I have to discuss with you first, Sir. I’m here to officially brief you on the Stargate programme.



Obama: Star- what?
