| Karin has been working at the Schottenhammel for the past few years.... Watch her deal with those rowdy drunkards.... And you get scared! | ||
Oli and I

Any empties?
5 October 2003 | ||

||
| Karin taking the empty Masskruege away.... | ||
Hendl
5 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| A Hendl is a special grilled Chicken which you eat at the Oktoberfest. Yummy! And you need the calories and grease to linen your stomach for the liters to come.... | ||
Niederboarn
5 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| Some folks from Lower Bavaria trying to amuse Vreni - who was not amused... | ||
Work's Over!
5 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| PW and Karin on their last day of work.... PW would then join me for a diving holiday.... | ||
Uhm....
5 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| No comments needed.... From Vreni's eyes, my eyes and the big arm with beer sticking out of PW's pink-bunnied head.... it's the Oktoberfest! | ||
The more beer, the better the music gets....
5 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| And the Stimmung gets better and better.... | ||
Dani and Nora
5 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| Dani and her friend Nora who we met at the Oktoberfest.... At the time when everyone holds onto someone as you fall over otherwise... I should know, I had lots of bruises the next day.... | ||
Wiesn Paar
17 September 2005 | ||

Suppa Bedienung
3 October 2005 | ||
 |
||
| As I live close to the Oktoberfest venue, Karin and Bernhard moved in with me for the two weeks... They worked from 8am to 1am every day.... Karin cut her hands with glass by accident and got bad flu. But nothing could stop her. | ||
Nora und Dani
3 October 2005 | ||
 |
||
| Two Wiesn Maedels.... | ||

 |
||

Leonie is here!
24 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| The workaholic from London is spending a few weeks here... And was visited by a Texan... Evidently a Narcissist, because his heart says he loves himself... | ||
Abschiedsfoto
24 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Farewell photograph. That's what she called it. But I was still in denial. But a couple of hours later I realized it all a bit more... | ||
Leonie going for the Magenbrot

||
| No chance to get into any of the tents.... | ||
Faces of the Oktoberfest
22 September 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Here you see it all: the beersmooch, the hunter's eye, it's a great couple of weeks, too bad I would be in Japan. | ||
One day later....
23 September 2007 | ||
 |
||
| This time I made it inside the Schottenhamel tent. You can see the smoke from cigarettes and the band... | ||
Wiesn Crowds
23 September 2007 | ||

Drillinge
23 September 2007 | ||
 |
||
| The German word for Triplet. Saw them and I thought it was fun to take a photo of them and their sister. | ||
Just made it back...
7 October 2007 | ||
 |
||
| ...in time for one last night of Wiesn! And great it was! Best of all, no foreigners, they all had left! Outside the place was packed and noone made it in... | ||
