Among other topics, we will especially be working on organizing this year’s Oktoberfest celebrations!
Hope to see you there!
This was a small meeting, and here is an overview:
1) We made a reference to the last meeting of the Alpine Committee, and what had been talked about there.
2) We agreed to mostly talk about Oktoberfest in this meeting, and I shared with everyone the plans for it so far.
3) Klaus Wolfenbach said he would talk with his community of Europa about them possibly participating in our Oktoberfest celebrations.
4) We talked about how we are wanting to find more artists to participate, and everyone said they would help with this.
5) We reviewed the work that is being done by Rosie Gray on building things and by Tor Karlsvalt on the parade.

[12:18] Sonja Strom: except for the balloon event,
[12:19] Sonja Strom: which has now become a part of the oktoberfest celebrations
[12:19] Sonja Strom: 2) Oktoberfest, which we are now planning for
[12:19] Sonja Strom: it will begin on Sept. 18th and go to Okt. 4th
[12:20] Sonja Strom: lol, Kaseido is offiline!
[12:20] Rose Springvale excuses herself. have a competing event. will read the transcript.

[12:23] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: How may the Consulate contribute to Oktoberfest?
[12:23] Sonja Strom: I suggest that here we mostly talk about the Oktoberfest
[12:24] Pip Torok: agree
[12:24] Sonja Strom: Klaus, will Europa have any oktoberfest celebration?
[12:24] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: We've never planned a standalone one.
[12:25] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: More because there were so many other events starting in the fall - participation was more appropriate.
[12:25] Sonja Strom: Maybe if anyone in that community would like to take part in these,
[12:25] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Certainly, what would you like us to do?
[12:25] Sonja Strom: and of course these are open to everyone
[12:25] Pip Torok: brb approx 5 minutes
[12:26] Sonja Strom: ok Pip
[12:26] Sonja Strom: one thing is, it would b great if they know of anyone who would like to bring their art to the CDS
[12:26] KlausWulfenbach Outlander nods
[12:27] Sonja Strom: I will share with you all the plan so far
[12:27] Sonja Strom: it could be a performance art,
[12:27] Sonja Strom: like making music
[12:27] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Ahh.
[12:27] Sonja Strom: or a static art,
[12:27] Sonja Strom: like drawings

[12:35] Sonja Strom: thanks!
[12:35] Sonja Strom: we would be happy for assistance
[12:35] Sonja Strom: Klaus, do you have any suggestion for the event itself?
[12:36] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: For... pardon? I thought you would be having a gallery for the Oktoberfest visitors.
[12:36] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Or do you mean for Oktoberfest as a whole?
[12:37] Sonja Strom: people can have stands,
[12:37] Sonja Strom: and I'm sure we can have some kind of gallery showings
[12:37] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Display space would be needed, ja.
[12:38] Sonja Strom: that is all still being oranised
[12:38] Arria Perreault: we will have some on the Platz

[12:42] Sonja Strom: yes, Arria
[12:43] Arria Perreault: great

[12:43] Sonja Strom: unfortunately
[12:43] Arria Perreault: ok
[12:44] Sonja Strom: the live musicians I know who make this kind of music will be out of SL at that time
[12:44] Arria Perreault: ok
[12:44] KlausWulfenbach Outlander looks at his watch
[12:44] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Damen, Herr Torok, I only have about 10 minutes more here.

[12:45] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: If you do find some, Fraulein Perreault, I should like to know about them as well.
[12:45] Sonja Strom: but we have a few djs planned who will play this kind of music
[12:45] Arria Perreault: ok. I will inform you too
[12:45] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: We might also have the idea I mentioned to Fraulein Strom privately, if the resources can be gathered in time.
[12:45] Sonja Strom: and when there are no events, the radio stream will be playing it
[12:46] Arria Perreault:
[12:46] Sonja Strom: yes Klaus, we can talk more about it
[12:46] Sonja Strom: thank you for coming to this meeting and being here with us!
[12:47] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Danke, I will see about artists for you.
[12:47] Sonja Strom:
[12:48] Sonja Strom: and people in your community who would be interested in something like this
[12:48] KlausWulfenbach Outlander nods
[12:48] Sonja Strom: we are an open community here
[12:48] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: I'll pass the notecard to my staff as well.
[12:49] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Are there any parameters for the parade floats? Or will it be a different style?
[12:49] Sonja Strom: nobody is making a lot of money from this or anything, lol
[12:49] Sonja Strom: we are still talking about how to organise the parade
[12:50] Sonja Strom: I think it will be more open to individual choices than before
[12:50] Sonja Strom: everyone moving under their own power
[12:50] KlausWulfenbach Outlander nods
[12:50] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Horses allowed?
[12:50] Sonja Strom: I wish Tor were here to talk more about that,
[12:51] Sonja Strom: because he is who is organising it
[12:51] Sonja Strom: but that is what he and I have talked about
[12:51] Arria Perreault: I guess horses are allowed
[12:51] Sonja Strom: yes, they are:-)
[12:52] Sonja Strom: and bicycles
[12:52] Sonja Strom: wagons
[12:52] Sonja Strom: maybe even cars if we can get that to work
[12:53] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Ach... I will wait for updates but I must be on my way now.
[12:53] Sonja Strom: the difficulty with cars is the roads, and especially the bridges
[12:53] Sonja Strom: alright
[12:53] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Hm.
[12:53] Sonja Strom: see you later!
[12:53] Arria Perreault: bye bye
[12:53] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: That is why I thought horses might be an acceptable limit.
