I just might try to make it this year.. somebody told me of one similar to it last year and I couldn't go.

If I'm off, I'll probably go. There is an Indy group that makes the 2 hr trek each year. Slide show is good, lunch at Haufbrau House is better. Liter of beer, pretzels with cheese, and saurkrat balls. German band, and girls in Beer Hall Costumes. Makes my German Blood tingle. Go back to the auditorium and just try not to nap.

For sure the Hofbrauhaus is good eats. Usual routine is to head there for lunch on Saturday and have dinner at Camp Washington Chili. I usually try to work in a visit to Montgomery Inn while I'm in town, too. This year I'm probably going to hit up some of the establishments at MainStrasse in Covington for an after show party.

But this is about the trains, right?
