Sorry about that. I know the Oktoberfest is important in Germany. The whole world is upset down at the moment.

Of course other people have much bigger problems. I didn't want to complain but share a few pictures for entertainment. Like Edelweiss' Settlers Day Not. I didn't made those pictures but they match my memories of what I like there (and they're license free). And that's me there, ca. 1970:

Bummer that your festival was canceled. 😕

I think the large "drinking" events are probably best cancelled as at least in my experience, once people start drinking and the alcohol begins to take effect, social distancing unconsciously disappears.

Surely, if there is an opposite to social distancing then it's the Oktoberfest.

We HATE this kind of mass drunkenness - always have. I HATE drunk people! My ex-husband has beaten me so bad i almost lost eyesight, i dont even accept alcohol in our home. When i just smell bear or "Schnaps" of any kind i could vomit; i accept Holger drinking wine for dinner sometimes or we share a little bit of sparkling wine for new years eve. He is OK with that, which i highly appreciate.

Holger even had to fight of drunk idiots two years ago, and from their clothes and behaviour they had obviously nothing to to with fantasy, medieaval fun or something - just get drunk and get "action" with soe strange and funny looking"chicks"!

Bummer--we took our annual trip to Yellowstone but the place was still very crowded despite most amenities being closed. We had to do our best to get away from the crowds.
