Visits to Oktoberfest - A World Class Event

Welcome to the first Blog dedicated to visiting Munich and the annual Oktoberfest ritual. Many of us have been visiting this “celebration of all celebrations”, as a group since 1993. We hope to share our experiences, provide tips for visiting, and give you our views on the typical “what to do” and “what not to do”. But primarily we want to have some good discussions with those of you who love beer, and may or may not have ever visited this fine event. Give us your thoughts.

Be sure to visit these great resources...Cheers!

Off to School This Weekend

Well, it is approximately 2:35PM eastern time, and I'm about to wrap things up and head to Bowling Green for my final weekend of classes this semester. As a matter of fact, this is technically the final weekend of classes for my MBA program. Yee Ha ! ! ! ! In May it's off to Europe for 2 weeks (with a training visit to the Hofbrauhaus included), and then just a review weekend in June.

I plan two very important tasks this weekend.... 1) not take class too seriously and 2) make plans for the Europe trip. The second item is also part of the first. Part of this planning is to try and arrange a special visit with Barbus in Frankfurt. Hopefully we can make arrangements for him to address our group, then educate us on the finer things associated with beer drinking in Germany. Not that we need any real help there, but you never know.
