Oktoberfest 2007

Munich is once again Barfing Capitol of the civilized world. Already over one million people have stormed the Oktoberfest to enjoy mass hysteria and a good time with many other drunks.

I grew up here, so I know it all, seen it all and done it all (barfing on a rollercoaster is a lot of fun for all those behind you).

Yeah, I am here for the culture too …

Since the early nineties the Oktoberfest has mutated into a total party zone. The traditional Lederhosen and Dirndls have been replaced with trendy and mostly slutty imitations. Drinking has become a martial art. And since all the beer tents are overrun and closed down almost immediately after they opened - it is almost impossible to get seats just for short visit.

The once enjoyable family has been replaced by disco anthems, combat drinking and fake tradition. Basically a yodelling tourist trap - that can be recreated anywhere.

So much for the original Oktoberfest …

Jo mei-.. i`m so glad, that orange -the most of time- enjoys only Diet-Coke! What is the price this year for one ´Humpen` ? 8 Euro?
what a recently inflation… (How much is a Diet-Coke …e.g. in ´Käfer-tent`?;-)

Shade! Maybe one day I will make it to the Oktoberfest. From the sound of things I may not even want to go. While I should have gone while I was still in Germany I always took the trip to Bernkastel for the Mid-Mosel Weinfest or the Wittlicher Schweinbrenner fest or went to Idar-Oberstein for the Schwenkbraten. I like a good time but do not want to put up with all the tourists even though I guess I would be considered one myself.

The young fellow in the lederhosen seems to have had his share. He knows enough not to get too stressed out by it all.

Thanks for the real skinny on Oktoberfest!

Hey RichM, don’t let me turn you off the Oktoberfest. It’s still a remarkable event. I am just a local and I’ve been there since I was a baby. So I know the ugly and the good sides. So if you make it over here I’ll show the good stuff too!

Thanks for your comment!

@Mo: It is bloody expensive. That is very much a showstopper. And you won’t get any Diet Coke in any beer tent … ;-)
