Oktoberfest is Here!

Given that I just came from Munich for a very appropriately timed business trip, I was also able to experience the annual Oktoberfest celebration they hold.  I wish I had one word to describe the whole experience, which was so graciously shared with us by our German colleagues, Tanja and Kathrein. Not only did these ladies show us the ropes, but they partied with us like there was no tomorrow.  Danke schon!

While I'll give you more color around my Munich Oktoberfest experience later, I first want to tell you about the celebration that's happening locally in Astoria.  Taking place as it does each year at the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden, it'll be a two week celebration with beer, food, music and the most important thing that makes this event so wonderful - the crowd.  Here are more details around this event - so start gathering up the troops and don't be afraid to wear your dirndl.
