On the very last day of the festival, we tightened up our dirndls and braved the wind, rain, and cold for some liters of beer and an all-around awesome day.
Approximate timeline of events:
 |
| 11:45: Arrive at the festival... finding a table is priority #1 as usual, but particularly in this weather! |
 |
| 12:00: Sit down in the Lowenbrau tent. I cant believe someone left half of their beer?? |
 |
| 12:10: First round arrives... |
 |
2:00: Tent starts cheering for another chugger, but this one is standing on the table buck naked. Sadly I couldn't get the iPhone out in time.
|
2:30: Band starts playing Amazing Grace and trumpeters on all of the balconies provide excellent surround sound.
 |
3:00: Snuck into Hippodrom tent (of course I go to HBS, I'm in one of your classes! Don't you recognize me?)
|
 |
5:30: Receive a call from Patrick - "Can I tell you a secret?? I'm in the hospital!"
|
 |
6:30: The end. In case you're wondering, the mugs can shatter if you are too aggressive with your "Prost." Jury is out on whether Patrick's torn tendon will require surgery. Either way he will have a lifetime souvenir on his hand that will last longer than the pictures we bought! I cannot wait until our children ask him how he got that scar...
