polka polka polka!

Last night Dave and I had dinner at the Essen Haus! Dave had jaeger schnitzel, I had the hühner schnitzel. Yum! I wanted to get the beer in a boot, but it turns out it's 2 liters of beer! That's a lot for two people!

Here's the beer boot.

There are rules to drinking the boot.

1. The boot can NEVER touch the table while delicious beer goodness still remains.

2. The player must flick the boot before passing it on to the next player.

3. When a player receives the boot with a chance to finish the remaining beer, other people at the table must initiate table pounding to encourage the player. Other patrons at the Essen Haus will also pound on their tables.

4. The player who passes the boot to the player who finishes the boot must pay for the next boot.
 
5. You must drink the boot with the toe up.
 
 
Around 8:30 the polka band kicked up and some enthusiastic folks even danced and hooted!

So who's coming to Madison to help us drink a boot?

Prost!
