Touch Rugby Oktoberfest meetup

As the other half of the social oligarchy committee is currently sunning herself in central america it has been left to me to organise this drinking event...

Touch Muenchen is going to the fest on Thursday 4 October.

The plan is for those who can, to get to the Wies'n around 4pm (i.e. me and whoever else) to bag a table and those who have proper jobs to join us later.

I will confirm which tent we will be frequenting at a later date.

Can we have a show of hands, and rough timings (eg table bagging (I said table!), or later) for those who are coming...

Lederhosen and Dirndls are recommended.

At at Crowded House concert that night. Sorry.

Count me in for a 4pm start.

Rich, it will be very hard to get a table on this public holiday, I presume. I've just recalled I managed to do it 2 years ago.
Anyway, I'll be joining you, guys, at 4 p.m. and helping you to make eyes at these gorgeous waitresses.

Regarding this lovely outfit you mentioned. Does anyone know where I can get the used one? I've checked prices in C&A and in some other stores. It costs 200 euros only for the pants. I'm not willing to pay 200 euros for the outfit that I'm gonna put on only twice a year: Oktoberfest ans Starkbierfest.

The wednesday is the public holiday which is why I chose the Thursday...everything's been thought of!

You'll also wear the outfit in Berlin, and I am sure you will wear it more than once at both the fests mentioned. I got mine from Skandal at Poccisstrasse for €220 including shirt, socks and shoes.

I'm a definite Yep...

I'd never thought of calling you a Yep before!

There are some 2nd hand options - there's a shop im Tal near town and also 2nd hand store on Weissenburger strasse which sells new and 2nd hand much cheaper than this. They're a must! Esoecially for a Russian!!?!

i am in but wont be down till later on...

I will be down asap. In my Kilt. Randy where is your national costume???

You are right, Rich. I've mixed up the date with the independence day in America on 4th of July. It looks like I have to do some shopping in the near future.

you been on the vodka? that's 3 months apart!!!

After several drinks guys I might start stripping down or putting some female clothes on (that happened last time in Schrannenhalle, big thanks to Ann). I'm afraid next time I can lose some parts of my outfit. :-)

Colin, my russian costume has been left in some clubs and bars. That's why I decided bound myself to some simple dress that could be easily left somewhere.

should be there on the 4th, but wont be able to make it at 4pm.

is the fest still on on the 4th? if memory, that fading dancing nymph of recollection, serves me well then it ends the day before. otherwise yep me beire sad old man drunken dancing yipee.

yes it is. it runs to the first sunday in October - you should know that, you were at the first ever Oktoberfest weren't you?

sleeping more like

Count me in, but I have football coaching until 5.30pm

I will try and drift past.

@Randy - Lederhosen etc can be worn at any time without shame in the city limits and when hiking in the mountains.

I'm also at the crowded house gig.

C and A have lederhosen from 90 euro - and they don't look that bad.

O-fest. will come along, if in munich.

The plan at the moment for this is that myself, Beg Tets and Derek from Berlin and T-rex as well I think will be there next Thursday from lunchtime. When we have a table in a tent we will contact someone to post here where we are so as and when your working day ends come and join us...

Wont be there but Kathi should be. Might be better sending an Email so that people not on here know as well.

and me

I'll be down as quickly as possible

down under the table I am sure

helping you get back up again

I will be in another tent on Thursday evening with some Germans who drink closer to my pace.

Oh Nomis, how shallow those words seem now after the cocktail pitcher episode last night

It's obvious now that he meant that his pace was faster than all of ours!!

just spoke to Keith and he said the tents are packed, they cant find a table because the place is full of kids. but they will keep looking.

ps. post 29 was not me

so keith is in hacker tent - mid way between front entrance and band on right hand side. near wirtstueberl 3 tables from edge

i should be there within the hour so any porbs you can give us a call

will be there around 4pm

just got a message from Keith asking people to get there asap.

just found out some media knob needs me at three. will be there at 4 with lassie outside complaining that our grandads didnt watch their friends die at normandy just so that we can wait outside

am waiting for my man... and then we'll be there :-)

thats quite enough knobs from you Gideon...Have you used up your knob quota for the day yet?

Not yet, I'm saving my left over nine knobs for one whole sentence if I dont get in the tent

Just heard from Seb that they are now at the Hofbrau tent in the beer garden at S8(!) to the left of the tent.

OK hot off the mobile ...

Amanda and crew are in the hofbrau beer garden, to the left of the front doors.

I'm probably the only one still at work who will read this (apart from Donnie of course) so feel like I am talking to myself!

... and Phil then.

...and me

...and me still!

and me

Ugggggggg :-)

quite an eventful afternoon/night. had a good time, the FreeFall is wicked...I wish I didnt have to go to work now

just got in to the office. good night, feeling delicate now though.

thought the freefall was a bit tame. the Eurostar thing was by the worst/best

I'm never drinking with Hazza again.

Or at least not until Saturday.

Why does my knee hurt? just took me three hours toget into the office, bloody strike. Had a great night but cant remember the end... ooopppss!

its probably from when you fell off the table, just about missed the waitress, and ended up on the floor.

Good prediction from seb I must add.
