Very yes.

Bringing Filipe again (who travels very well, and is also a born wanderer/tourist, surprisingly enough), Tiny Killer Neckbeard, and one of the lead operators.

Get them roaringly drunk, then give them a workshop with ALL THE TOOLS. Record for posterity (since none of you will survive it)

That would feel rude.

That sounds WAY more fun than bringing Mike.

Mike can be fun.  For a given value of fun.

Spending a week in Germany on the company dime.  Specifically, Frankfurt.  I will have about 5 days of Roger time while I do this, as this trip is basically a junket.  I will have a rental car and no intention of driving on a different side of the street or whatever people do in Europe.  And essentially unlimited credit, provided I can shoehorn it into "entertainment expenses".

What do I need to do and see?

I have major envy.

You got to go to Nashville.

I'm pretty sure there's no Music Row in Frankfurt.

I feel like A WHOLE OTHER CONTINENT trumps visiting anywhere in Tennessee.

Well, yes and no.  I've been in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, and spags are spags wherever you go.

But Germans build some kickass castles.  I can't deny that.

The only places outside of the US I've been able to visit are Agua Prieta for about ten minutes, and various places in British Columbia, which barely counts.

Mexican border towns here.
The most interesting thing that happened was drinking in Garcia's Bar in Matamoros in 1989, and it was only later that I found out that could have possibly landed me in a nganga pot, so it was really only interesting after the fact.
