Also, considering how much cooler Wurst and Bier are than smallpox and colonization, there is a much more important occasion to celebrate today, in my opinion:
- 1810- first Oktoberfest: the Bavarian royal family invites the citizens of Munich to join the celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.
Bierleichen: people who pass out from drinking too much (German Bier: beer + Leichen: corpses)
In honor of Ludwig I:
musicians at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich(founded in 1589; also the site of my brother's first beer)
me wearing a traditional Bavarian hat (many moons ago). . .
