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!

Last Minute Training Plan

Team,

You now have a chance to have some last minute training. Yes, while you are in amsterdam, you can stop off at my buddy Patrick's place......


AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Self-conscious about what you wear while working out? A Dutch gym plans to introduce "Naked Sunday" for people who like to huff and puff in the buff.

Patrick de Man, owner of Fitworld gym in the town of Heteren, said he got the idea in part from two of his customers who are avid nudists.

"I heard that some other gyms are offering courses on 'pole-dancing' as a sport, so I thought: Why not bring something new to the market?" de Man said.

-----

I'd like to see Chugger and Einfahrt doing nude pole dancing in an Amsterdam gym.... On second thought, I am glad I am going to Munich first. ;-)

Training, Part 2


Students... have you been doing your homework? I talked to Chugger using the infernal mobile communicator yesterday and he indicated he was working hard on his studies. Good Chugger. You are a good example to the others.

Here is a shot of the Grand Puhba in the Dallas Airport sampling the local nectar, Shiner Bock. Not bad for being in Texas.

Search on for truth in hops and wisdom in barley.

Alfa Versus Excelsior

While the Excelsior may boast a nice environment and good food & drink, the Alfa has one thing the Excelsior doesn't. At least one you can mention in public.... RACING PIGEONS

That's right, European Champions nonetheless!!
