You were always the party organiser. We're all at sea without you. I wonder if we might have enough people interested from AH/Europe to make a microcon out of it.

If micro con means bear and not AH, then it might be successful :D
make sure you will post it here :)

Hey Beetle!
Well Oktoberfest (http://www.muenchen.de/Tourismus/Oktoberfest/Programme_Opening/131679/oktoberfestopeninghours.html) starts 17 September and finishes 3 October. It's a very busy time of the year and I guess hotels and flights would be expensive since they'd be in big demand. It's probably best to start booking now if many people were interested.
However, I can put two people up in single beds. Another could sleep on the sofa and that just leaves floor space for anyone else.
There's also two aircraft museums in Munich, one of which is a little out the way but do-able (might need taxi for last section).
Flugwerft Schleißheim (http://www.deutsches-museum.de/zweig/werft/e_fws.htm)
Deutsches Museum München (http://www.deutsches-museum.de/ausstell/dauer/luft/e_luftf.htm)
I live right next to an S-Bahn station so transport is very easy and cheap.
Unfortunately I don't have everyones email addresses any more, though I could try and ring a few people to see if they're interested. You know of anyone else who'd like to do Oktoberfest?
Depending on how many come out, there's also Neuschwanstein castle (http://www.neuschwanstein.de/english/index.htm) to the south and Kehlsteinhaus (Eagles Nest) (http://www.kehlsteinhaus.com/english/index.asp) in the Alps to the south (Berchtesgaden). Both still in Bavaria.
BTW Doesn't strictly have to be during Oktoberfest time since there's more and enough beer already in Munich!! :)

I'm up for it !!! I'll be in Germany anyway if all goes to plan (albeit the other end but hey what-ever).
Think we may have probs getting hotel rooms this close to the Fest - will have to look in to it.
May be away for a while - on a sort of world tour at the mo but keep me posted.

Keep me informed, went to Germany properly for the first time in May of this year and fell in love completely with the beer amongst other things.
Am heading south for the winter and don't have an exact date yet so probably earlier would be better for me.

Have a look at the latest thread. (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1727679#post1727679)
It'll most likely be after Oktoberfest.
