Waiting for the next milestone.
The next major milestone for Oktoberfest comes in July. That is when the Theresienwiese begins its transformation. It morphs from an empty 100+ acre wasteland to a wonderful venue where dreams are fulfilled. All in about 65 days.
Here's a great discussion of what takes place.

This year's trip will be different.......
.... and somewhat disappointing. Since this is an even numbered year, we knew that attendance might not be as robust as usual. But since we missed last year, I didn't want to wait another year to renew the visits. Hence, I decided to attend and hoped others would follow. I even agreed to bring my son, along with his new moniker Jeep CJ.
Unfortunately, other traditional Oktoberfestians will not be attending. No Barley Man. No Paulaner Girl. No Einfarht. And now no Barbus or Schlumberger Lady.
Oh well, fun will still be had by all. We will hook up with Alcoholische and Betrunken and wreck havoc as usual.
Just remember, it is never too late to change your mind and go. However, costs tend to increase as you get closer.
Prost !

Paging Barbus......
You have been quiet. Spending too much time on the boat already to think about your Oktoberfest Brethren?
Have you made hotel reservations yet?

Never too early.....
To think about day trips or daily itineraries. While we never overly plan our visits, we do like to have some idea of what we are doing. Since this will be Jeep CJ's first visit, I want to make sure we have all the highlights covered.
We arrive at about 09:30 on Friday, so that should put us at Hotel Alfa by 11:00 at the latest. Check-in, maybe a quick "wake up shower", and time to experience Munich. Probably need some lunch, so maybe a quick trip around the corner for a Donner sandwich; extra spicy of course :-)
Probably then take the traditional walk through Karlzplatz and Marienplatz on the way to the Hofbrauhaus. Depending on the weather, a few stops along the way for a bier would not be out of order. Maybe even hit the Viktualienmarkt. Then of course it's the traditional Friday afternoon escapades at the Hofbrauhaus. The evening finishes with either dinner at Augustiner Keller, and certainly our first visit to Shakespeare's.
Sounds like a lot of planing for someone who doesn't want to overly plan. I'll cover other daily options later, but suffice to say, Saturday P.M. is our tent reservations, and Sunday will be our religious sojourn to Kloster Andechs.
Remember, Mr. Spock was almost right when he said "live long and prosper". He meant to say, "leben lang und trinkien Bier!"

Almost Time for Happy Birthday......
Can you believe it? In just two weeks, our beloved Oktoberfest Visits Blog will be 11 years old! Check out the very first blog post here...
After reading that post I have tears in my eye. It's amazing how our first experience has grown up. And everything in that first posting is still true today, except this link to another Blog at the time... http://www.popdex.com.
Keep those posts coming. While it is still only February, that first bier is not that far away.
Prost!

On a Hunt
Been looking on the BDG for the shirts to come back on sale to get one for my brothers but have had no luck. Willing to pay top dollar for an XXL and a Med if any are available.. They could even already have marks on the back for keep track. We already hit more than half already so it would not be out of place or a lie...
Thanks!
