    Well, I will be there.

    An old friend of mine I haven’t seen in over 30 years is coming on the 24th until who knows when.

    My favorite beer at the fest is the Hacker (pronounced Hocker).

    After last years 200th Anniversary they are continuing the Historic Wiesn*. This year the beer there is Augustiner from wooden barrels. I am sure it is a don’t miss, if you are there.


    The Wiesn ( pronounced Veesin), it roughly means the meadow, as it was just a big pasture outside of town 200 years ago, and that is what the locals have called it ever since.

    Love it and I love teh Germans doing it, I will certainly be there. Remembering it, don't remember doing so, no idea how Germans can drink that much. But it's fun.

    I was there last night.

    The weather was something else, it seemed it got very drunk out.

    My friend went outside to find a cash machine and of course that is when they closed the tent and it took him an hour to get back inside.

    Will be there for the final weekend. I will wear a plastic bag to avoid stains, and nothing else worth preserving.
