As is appropriate with all planning, contacting and inviting those that have a great influence on your activities is not only appropriate, but required. As our plans evolve, I felt it only appropriate to contact Herr Larry Hawthorne, author of The Beer Drinker's Guide to Munich (BDG2M), and our inspiration for these trips.
I invited him to join us should his travels allow, and his response was prompt in coming, and offered the traditional guidance and wisdom we have come to expect. Please see his response.
Chugger,
Thanks for thinking of us for your next O-fest trek. Eliska and I can't commit to anything right now, since we seldom plan anything that far in advance. Usually, we save our research trips for the summer months and catch Oktoberfest when we can. The 5th edition is selling pretty well and our estimation is that we will be in Munich next summer (2007) to gather the info for a 6th edition (does this burden ever end?). If we do find ourselves at the Fest, we'd also love to hook up with your brew crew.
Just have to see how it goes, but my guess right now is that we'll likely be about a month in Munich in the July-August timeframe (we really like the Dachauer Volksfest, BTW). Also, appreciate the unsolicited but nevertheless welcome reviews on Amazon. Folks really do read those blurbs. Of course we'll keep up with your progress via the blog and try to contribute occasionally as well.
Cheers to all.
Larry
