Have a big party, give away stuff, and play music.
Slovakia is giving up the crown and adopting the euro on 1 January 2009. You can already pay just about anywhere in Bratislava in euros. Lots of Austrians and Italians do. And this weekend they're throwing what we think may be a countdown party in the Bratislava Grand' Place (Hlavné námestie). Today they were giving away stuff: conversion tables, pamphlets, brochures, highlighters, and tape measures, which were also a kind of euro-crown conversion tool. Then you invite what appears to be a gingundo local pop star, Jana Kirschner, who is my new favorite Slovakian singer. Here's a sample.
