Karl, 

A Leica Day is a World Wide Holiday...
Nobody's working  in the whole Planet. Everybody's using Leicas, cleaning
it, lubricating it and adjusting it; bodies and lenses...

There's a big, rather HUGE parade starting at Solms Straße going through any
Leica dealer in Europe, then crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the States.
Breakfast by the side of the Statue of Liberty (you should registered if you
reached this point), then the Ferry to Manhattan. A ride by the most
important Leica dealers like Rich Pinto, Tamarkin and if not Friday evening
nor Saturday, also B&H and or Adorama depending on the fees you paid.
Included in this LeicaCombo you will be taken through the whole continental
States flying with Leica Airlines. Those planes are  silver chrome, black or
titanium with the Red Round Leica Logo painted in the nose.
Very charming...you'll be served some snacks in glasses with the same logo
and would be flying back to your home....

;-)

Regards

Pablo
