If anyone fully exemplifies what the word gemutlichkeit mean, it is SKIP. He showed so much friendliness, openness, fun, good times and just embraced the spirit of Oktoberfest. He met so many new wonderful friends at Oktoberfest and made everyone feel very special. We can tell how many people he met by how many people had stamps on their bodies. Next year he will have to change is nickname from the least original, SKIP to something related to his stamp happy personality. Congrats to SKIP KING as ROY 19. You will wear the hat proudly for the next year.
Over 100 Hacker Herren gathered in the Himmel der Bayern and helped celebrate Hoff's 30th Oktoberfest — and the brotherhood grew even stronger, as it does every year. New friendships formed, laughter never stopped, and by Sunday everyone seemed to know everyone. First in the tent, as always. Goldie (Cincinnati) earned Veteran of the Year and the HAM Vest at his 12th Oktoberfest; Markus 'Der Hammer' Schleidt took Rookie of the Year and the Ronnie Hat. No crazy stunts — just Gemütlichkeit. Prost!
