Move Over Heidi...: Oktoberfest 2009

Oktoberfest this year was just as good as last year...but very different too. We did different things outside of the tent, were with different people, but of course drank the same beer...and lots of it! TJ and the boys headed down to Munich via train early Friday morning while Steph and I waited for UPS to arrive with Kremer's lederhosen and then headed down about 1:00 pm. We were certainly tardy to the party as TJ was already three sheets and taking a nap...so Kremer, myself, and Steph got dressed and headed down to Theresianpark where the festivities were taking place. This is us with our road beers entering the park in our garb for the first time!

We quickly found the rest of the gang at the carousel bar, which quickly became home base for our crew. It was a carousel...but where the horses where supposed to be there was a huge bar instead. Needless to say we liked it there a lot and they made a ton of money off us! Here we are at our Table on Friday with a random called "the braid". You can see Steph in the sea of hosen!

Later that night...another random in a pink hat with Tommy, Spain, and Steph...

Some of us went home at a decent hour while others stayed out until all hours. Spain, Kremer, and Steph were struggling the next morning. All but Kremer made it to the tent...and its too bad because it is really fun in there! Just us and 8500 of our closest pals...

There was prosting and singing...

Consumption and double vision...

And complete and utter joy with more prosting and singing!

In the next picture Jim is wearing a heart around his neck with a picture of himself, Tommy, and TJ in it. At mst festivals it is common for girls to wear the gingerbread version of these that have a message on them like "Ich liebe dich" or "I love you". His said Oktoberfest and he wore it the whole day! So fun.
