We got there at 12:30 and got seats at the bar closest to the band and overlooking the Fox River. They weren't charging the $5 at the door to get in, but we later went back and paid. Hey, it's a good cause.
Immediately ordered two steins of Warsteiners. It cost $7 for the first one, but you got to keep the stein which is etched with Foxtoberfest 2009 and the After the Fox logo. Refills of Warsteiner, 22 oz., cost $3.25. Nice keepsake of a fun day.
We were joined by Pam, Jim, and Laura and Ed. Liz gagged the first Warsteiner's down and went to filling her stein with Miller Lite. Even though half German on her father's side (Klaus), she is not a fan of German beer or ANY import for that matter.
We were assured that they were not going to run out of Warsteiners this year as it was a new barrel. Last year, they had had it on tap all month.
EIN PROSIT!!
Party Time has arrived. The band started at 2:30 and played until 6:30. And they played all those great oom-pah songs that I love so much. I especially liked the new sing-a-long one where you follow a sign on a sort-of-like "12 Days of Christmas) song. Did a lot of video-taping.
Then, there was the $9 platter of German food that was really good (but not as good as Mar's the night before).

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
