Friday, September 30, 1983
After work, Marsha Cotter drove me downtown. There was the Nidaugassefest
with the various clubs of Biel having a booth and/or performing. The stores had
show windows where these clubs were featured. The Swiss Pioneers Drum and Bugle
Corps set up a Festwirtschaft/food
tent, selling bratwurst and cervelat with bread, French fries, and drinks. They
had picnic tables set up and an information stand. At about 18:00 the club
members, including Marsha, left to get dressed for their performance. I was
left to man the stand. Fortunately only one person stopped by asking if he
could have a sticker. Yes, for 2 CHF/$1. He decided not to get one.

The Swiss
Pioneers came to stand at the corner and out to do their thing, with Marsha
playing the quad tenor drums.

When they were finished and returned to the
stand, I had dinner of a bratwurst with a slice of bread and a dab of mustard,
and French fries. Also a Sinalco/orange soda, all for 7.20 CHF/$3.50. I just
left 8 CHF. Marsha just had a Pepsi because she had a stomach virus, and
probably shouldn’t have gone home after work! I went home and then got a call
from Jan asking if I wanted to go to a movie with Kirby (why wasn’t he
calling?). Kirby picked me up and we drove to the Rex Cinema to see
Superman
III at 20:15.
