What's The Next Milestone...
... that we should be tracking?
It is now less than 60 days to our meeting at the Hofbrauhaus, construction has begun, we have our plane tickets, we have our hotel reservations, and some poeple have their Lederhosen. While day trips have been discussed, final planning and confirmation typically occurs "on site".
So.... What's next?
Maybe I need to head down to the Hofbrauhaus in Newport and do some training. Or, since I'll be in the Pittsburgh area this weekend, maybe the Hofbrauhaus Pittsburgh.

Update from the absent front
After missing a few months from the blog, I am going to try and keep up with the group and post once or twice a week.
We just got my son's school schedule and are making flight arrangements around his classes. Will post travel arrangements once solidified. It's getting exciting and we are really looking forward to the trip. Now that I caught up (a bit) with the blog
1) As of right now, we will not be wearing leiderhosen.
2) I do have a valid US drivers license, but I don't really plan on driving much. Is this a mistake?
3) Aram and I are looking at making a few side trips and will listen to the group on where to go and what to do.
4) Do we need to purchase any tickets to any events/tents? Previously I was told not to, but not sure if that changed?
5) We have actually listened to the songs a few times so we can at least fake like we know what we are doing...Alice, who the F&$^ is Alice?
6) We will live vicariously through the single guys and our sons...say no more.
7) I asked the Dr. to prescribe some Fukitol for the trip, but he had never heard of it. It's probably only a European medication and not approved by the FDA. Does it have a different name? There might be a generic equivalent named DAMITOL, but don't know if it will have the same effect.
Sorry I've been absent...I'll try to be a better blogger.

International Drivers licenses
It is not recommended by German authorities, because a US IDP is not recognized in any way. To be allowed to drive in Germany as an American tourist ALL you'd ever need is your local state drivers license. To rent a car all you need is your state drivers license and a credit card.Isn't that just great!
Oide Wisen
Following the tremendous success of the historical part of the 2010 Oktoberfest, the organisers have decided to again have a "nostalgic" Oktoberfest on the southern part of Theresienwiese: Old rides, a especially traditional beer tent and the music and folklore singer tent "Zur Schönheitskönigin" ("the beauty queen"). In contrast to the free "normal" Oktoberfest, the "Oide Wiesn" does have an entrance fee of 3 Euros with children under 14 getting in free.

When in Rome?
The current number of this blogs participants wearing lederhosen to the Wies’n this year is only 3?
Monday, July 18, 2011
How many?
What’s the attendance numbers looking like on your end? We have a total of 8 on our end. With only 2 of us who have ever been to Oktoberfest… Trying to convey to the others about the upcoming experience just falls so short of the mark. I can’t wait to see the newbie’s expressions when they enter a tent get their bier unwind a bit and party gets going. As I have said before “Its one of my best experiences ever!”

Paging der Kubaner ! ! ! !
der Kubaner.....
It's been 5 months since you posted to the blog. Are you still going to Oktoberfest? You were the first person to post to our blog who was not a member of our core Oktoberfestian team. Since then, Betrunken and Alkoholische have become solid members of the blog.
Inquiring minds want to know.."Gehen Sie zu Oktoberfest?"

Any thoughts?
A couple of the guys going with us are single and I was wondering if there was a singles spot in Munich. I know such a thing is a combination of luck, timing, and how much bier that she has consumed, but I have always believed in location, location, location…

Road Trip to Frankfurt...
It's in Germany, they serve bier, and we can watch the U.S. Women win the World Cup!
Your average beer intake in Munich?
Just out of curiosity, about how many liters of beer do you guys typically drink during a wonderful day in Munich.. The reason I ask is because I tested my average bier consumption rate this past weekend and came out with just over 3 liters within a space of 5 hrs. I would also like to add that the next day I felt fine. It is possible for me to go overboard when on holiday so I see me at most taking in 4 or maybe 5 liters, with one or more being a Rattler…

Exchange Rates
By my calculations, with the current rate at about 1.39696 dollars for each Euro, a liter (Mass if you will) of beer at the fest will cost you $8.60 Euro or $12.00, a savings over last week ($1.43 per Euro) of over $.31 per mass. Or a penny an ounce.
I would say that is inconsequential, except for the fact of the mass quantities (pun intended) that we tend to consume.
But in the final analysis, well worth it.

Current Events Discussion
I hesitate, knowing that BarleyMan may chastise me, but....
Will the discussion on the debt limit and spending cuts positively or adversely affect the Dollar to Euro exchange rate?
Bottom line, will a Maß be more or less expensive?

Not tired and thirsty??
When all the beer tents on the Theresienwiese are closed, you can party til the break of dawn at the Wiesnzelt. Located in the Löwenbräu Keller on Stiglmaierplatz, this unique festival hall is not officially a "tent," and therefore not bound to the closing hours of the Oktoberfest. A great band and freshly drawn Wiesn beer from Löwenbräu create an original Oktoberfest atmosphere, making Das Wiesnzelt an excellent place to dance the night away. Open all night long during the Oktoberfest!
