BlackMember Party Comes Closer With Rapid Strides
Slowly but surely, we - and hopefully our VIP's as well - become increasingly excited by the first highlight event of 2009: The BlackMember Party VI in Düsseldorf on February 6th to 8th.

Naturally, there will be a full schedule again for our VIP's on the BlackMember weekend in the North Rhine-Westphalian provincial capital:
On Friday, after the check-in into the 5-star Superior Hotel Breidenbacher Hof, they will make their way into the star restaurant Berens am Kai. On this evening, the culinarian place will close its gates for other guests, and be available exclusively for the BlackMembers.
The female partners of the BlackMembers will meanwhile dine in a cozy atmosphere with piano music in the Hotel Breidenbacher Hof, and can look forward to a little surprise for the dessert.

will give a little introduction into the beer culture of Düsseldorf. As a "homeboy", he will lead our BlackMembers into the most known and traditional brewhouse of Düsseldorf - the 'Uerige'. Here, the BlackMembers will quietly spend the rest of the evening to be fit in time for the Saturday plans.



On Saturday, there will be an activity programme after an extensive breakfast, for which we will give out the details before long.
The BlackMember Party becomes sporty
After a challenge by the BlackMembers, athletic records will be broken for the first time in Düsseldorf: The BlackMember
Soccer Battle.
In this match, the BlackMembers will play against a selection of PokerStrategy and a team of our still secret sponsor. Naturally, our camera team will be present to capture this moment in sports history for you. As far as Team
PokerStrategy.com is concerned, our chief organiser Pius already decreed tough training hours to the whole team. Here some impressions...
Varieté during the Day
The ladies of our BlackMembers will have enough time for a shopping trip in the King's Alley and Historic District until 4:30 PM. Afterwards, they will head off to the Roncalli's Apollo Varieté! The artistic troup is counted amongst the best in Germany, and will come up with a new show in February.

Culinary Art in the Evening
Afterwards, the ladies are awaited in the Mongo's - at this balmy place, one can pick the meal from a multitude of exotic ingredients and watch the preparation of the menu.
As for our Blackies, they will head towards the luxury restaurant Im Schiffchen which has been decorated with two Michelin stars and 18 Gault Millau points.
Master Chef Jean-Claude Bourgueil will prepare a first-class menu for our BlackMembers which will not leave open any wishes.


The Residence for the Night
Invigorated like this, our BlackMembers will pop the bottles on the highlight of the event - the party in the Nachtresidenz - in their own VIP area, all night long until the wee hours.

the Nachtresidenz (picture on the right), they will be joined by our Diamonds at 8:30 PM - some with guests - who will fill the house.
