So do you show up at class every day kinda dry and hung over during Oktoberfest? "Ok folks, study hall." I have known some folks in Texas (down around New Braunfels and over in the DFW) who are gone dead train about Oktoberfest, like you (for the US, the best 'fest I've been to was at NB, we floated that pavillion dry a 'few time')...nice to see someone matching that 'tude here en la Louisianne. :)
