While not necessarily an official group visit, there will be participation in this year's festivities. Chugger, Designated Walker and Chugger's sister (handle to be determined) will visit for 3 days on the way from Bamberg to Slovenia. The entire trip will start in Amsterdam to visit with Barbus and Schlumberger Lady, then train ourselves south.
Others are invited if you desire. Flying Dan is a hopefull.
With only 18 days until start, and 16 days until Chugger and Designated Walker depart, here's some news from the Wiesn:
From the official Oktoberfest Web Site:
... "For the first time, hosts will have online portals where unused reservations can be exchanged or sold at the original price. An important step to push back the gray market, where thousands of euros were often asked for a table. 20 medium-sized and large gastronomic businesses have already opted for the Oktoberfest-Booking.com portal as a solution."
Hey guys this is an outstanding read about Bud Light pretending to be a real beer.

Yee Ha !
Looks like we have the makings of a plan for Chugger, Designated Walker, Barley Man, Flying Dan and his daughter.
Chugger and Designated Walker will start with a week in Spain, then meet up with the other vagabonds in Paris for some culture (dare we say museums?), history (Beaches of Normandy) and over indulgence (Palace of Versailles). After 3-4 days we will head to München. This will be a shorter than normal visit, maybe just 3-4 days, with some extra day trips (Rothenburg ob der Tauber).
Proposed timeframe:
Who else might be interested in joining?
To another year! Next year is the Pearl Anniversary of our first group trip.
