Oktoberfest – a postscript

So, the Oktoberfest has been over for a little while now, and although I’ve been writing about it long past its time, I thought a postscript was in order. For those who are interested in these sorts of things, Oktoberfest.de had the following facts to offer about the 2007 Oktoberfest:

After 16 days of beer, fun and Gemutlichkeit, the Oktoberfest has closed its gates. 6.2 million people visited the biggest fair in the world and approximately 6.7 million “Maß” beer, thousands of “Hendl” and 104 oxen were consumed.

If you don’t know, a Maß is one liter, so that’s 1.8 million gallons of beer. I was responsible for three of those Maß, no chickens, and no oxen. Hell, I didn’t even have a pretzel.

For those who like to plan ahead, next year’s Oktoberfest will begin on September 20, 2008. Book now!

Really, I mean that, book now if you plan on going.
