A tease of some photos for HOS when the Wiki gets going.

Don't all those nicely trimmed shrubberies suck compared to a Blood Bar?or a nice glow tree?

It's lovely... but that's Oktoberfest, not Rhinefeld.

RE: Rhinefeld (Germany)

Ugh, I was headed out the door and didn't see the Oktoberfest thread. Want me to redo it in the right place?

 

[Zachary]

Fixed.

 

[BGW Family]

Thanks much!

(I like to think I'm creating job security for Zachary.)

Check out the Festhaus in this postcard...

Doesn't that shrubbery look great in the plant circle out in front?

 

[Party Rocker]

It still lights up like that, it only really looks different because they use LED instead of Incandescent lighting. The LED provides a crisper and clearer white, while the incandescent gave that nice warm white, almost yellow glow.

And it is ruined by a green light up Entwined sign out front.

I wonder if we'll see anyone resembling Cap'n Jack Sparrow . . .

I hear that may be over in Cutthroat Cove.

As much as I love Johnny Depp, it is unclear to me how exactly he became the exemplar pirate. BGW is not Disney and should try to create its own iconic pirate. Although I guess the link between Capt Jack Sparrow and the Rolling Stones does make one think of London Rocks.

“I believe, as you know, Mrs Sauskind, in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Furthermore I have plotted and triangulated the vectors of the interconnectedness of all things and traced them to a beach in Bermuda which it is therefore necessary for me to visit from time to time in the course of my investigations. I wish it were not the case, since, sadly, I am allergic to both the sun and rum punches, but then we all have our crosses to bear, do we not, Mrs Sauskind?” -- Dirk Gently

I think this calls for "Captain Morgan"

Love me some Lonely Island...and for those who don't know, watch the video for Jack Sparrow by Lonely Island, I gained so much respect for Michael Bolton in this video, That's him in the picture.

More memories from the past (in the right thread).

Before that Entwined eyesore.

After failing miserably last season, tonight we successfully acquired both Slimer & Mr. Stay Puff!!

 

[Hoopla]

I think the park should put plants back in the (former) plant circle out front of the Festhaus!! Then it would get rid of us having to deal with a good friend of ours...

I think I prefer the Maypole over all of those.

 

[Hoopla]

That is the only downside, no maypole or, most importantly, a vampire bar!!
