Not this year... the wife and I went a couple years ago for our anniversary. It was great... if you get the chance, take a day trip to Andechs. Great monastery... great beer. They have this one beer garden looking out into a valley... I wish every day could be like that.

Yup!! My wife and I will be there on the 25th and 26th, staying the night about an hour south in Garmisch. Of course, we live in Heidelberg, so it's just a hop, skip and a jump over to Munchen. We were ther last year (our first year in Germany), and it was GREAT!!!

Cool beans. I'll be around then, just look for the big American dork with the BN shirt and it might be me.

Big American dork with the BN shirt? Hell!!! It might be me too!!!

I will be there starting this Saturday (Ozapft is Openig ceremony) and only leave two weeks later ))))
For the Americans coming over the first time, here is the list of the hottest tents:

1. For the traditionalist: Augustiner Beer Tent: Beer still served from wooden barrels and the oldest brewery in town
2. For the young party folks: Hacker Pschorr Tent or the Schottenhammel: Young, extremely crazy party crowd. Those tents are just insane and you need to be capable of touching a lot of people
3. For the gay folks: Bräurosl, also a great party, 70% males 30% females in the tent. 'nough said!
4. For the fancy folks: Käfer Wiesnschenke, the "High Society" of Munich hangs out there too, looks like a wooden ski-cabin, decadent parties
5. For the ones who wanna see Münchner Dirndls: Armbrustschützenzelt
6. For the after-party and if you have had enough beer: Weinzelt (fancy, crazy parties, wine and Weißbier is being served)
7. For the folks who wanna sit in the beergarden in front of the tent: Paulaner

Auf eine friedliche Wiesn 2008.

Prost,
