Hey Guys,

Sorry but I have to change the date of the Meetup and move it up a week. I hope this is okay for everyone? Phebe will be visiting her family before her surgery, and I'm being deported on 10/23. :(

So, come by and wish Phebe a full and speedy recovery, and if anyone knows a trick or two to keep me in the Country, let me know! :)

Gruss Gott, mein Freunde! Hoffe sie sind alle gut! Ja, es ist zeit fur das OKTOBERFEST!!!

That's right, it's time for Oktoberfest guys! Bretzen, bratwurst (or weiswurst), bier and spargel!!!

Oktoberfest is actually a Bavarian/German holiday. But, because so many German and Austrian immigrants have contributed to the culture and history of America, this holiday was naturally brought to the United States... and what a holiday it is!!!

Since we all can't travel to the Theresienwiese in Munchen, Alphine Village in Torrance will have to do. So, bring you dancing shoes, get ready to learn the "Chicken Dance", sing some German songs and have a merry ole' time while learning a little bit about German-American culture! And yes, we can practice English as well (I may even teach you guys a few "bad words" in German).

PLEASE NOTE - This is a 21 and Over event only. Admission is $8 a person and does not include the price of food or beverages (so bring some extra cash for that).

Drinking is purely OPTIONAL. You DO NOT have to drink, but, if you do drink, please drink responsibly... and remember, the German beers are much stronger (and tastier) than American beers!
