Anyone going to Schutzenfest ???????

Not this time around although I have been plenty of other times!

I wish they would work harder to include more actual German cultural stuff at the event though as since it was moved from Hahndorf to Adelaide it seems to get less and less each year! I would like to see them spend some money and get the "Speigeltent" that they had for the Fringe one year as it might give it some German character - that and some decent German dishes like plenty of Metwurst, Potato Cake and Strudle might be a good start!

yep on Saturdaynight

Don't go now that Im too old to chase skirt, but used to LOVE the Schutzy ... Would always top up then sit down with mates and have bets on who could hold the steins the longest and which one was gonna drop out next.

Just missed out on the Hahndorf era and was always spewing I never got to experience it.

Would always over-stock on the little bottles of Schnaps and still be pulling them out at Joppies in the wee hours of the morning.

Ahh to be younger again ...

Another day of 1 hr piss lineups!!!
I agree with above post, a great pace to chase skirt....

Never been a Shutty myself, but having been to Oktoberfest in Munich this year, I'll be a regular when I return to Aus.

The beer always tastes better out of a stein!

I saw a bit of the Schutzenfest in the early days at Hahndorf, but it deteriorated and became less about the shooting and German culture and more about drunkeness.
In the end I was glad to see the end of the [already] drunk pulling up at my gate to ask, "Hey mate, where's the Beerfest!"

Never been to one since they stopped doin it out at Hahndorf!
Too many dickheads, tryhards & sad gits in Adelaide...
Some of the twats don't even drink the Deutsch bier eh!

2 days to go!! Im getting thirsty.

Im not gonna go this year, first one ive missed in a very long time

Went last year spent $250 and didnt really enjoy it

Im sure you're still young enough though

I'm heading along this year, I haven't missed it for 5 years. It's a great day out, although expensive.

Check out this guy on the side stage from about 7:30pm Saturday. He plays a mix of German and Aussie songs and is a gun. I haven't missed his set at the Shutzenfest for 3 years.

Going tomorrow for the first time in a couple of years. Cant wait....mmmm sauerkraut.

The Shitzenfaced should move back to Hahndorf. It was so much better up there. Have only been to one since it's moved - terrible, full of dickheads.

Im going with SteveW tomorrow night so I can still go out and see Incarnadine on Saturday night at the Jetty Hotel.
A BIG weekend, looking forward to it!

On the radio this morning they said only come if you want German culture and shooting, dont come if you just want to drink. There goes 7/8th of the people

Heading town this afternoon before the soccer. have been the last 10 years, never went to handorf, remember the old saturday nights running up north tce blind to Joplins up stairs. Joplins should never have closed such a sad day.

Is there a better combination than beer and guns?
