Oktoberfest preperation

We are doing an Oktoberfest event this weekend, so I went out to visit "Sensei" to see how it's doin. First off, as I neared the park that it's in, it was kind of weird seeing Sensei defoliated. I know it's that time of year, but after being in/around it all summer, I just wasn't quite ready for it. Oh well.
The cool thing about the tree being totaly exposed is that I was very obvious while I was up and hiking around the canopy. Good exposure for the sport and the business.
One thing that I did find to be distressing, is that the city removed the port-a-potty for the winter. There's a pizza joint only 3 blocks away that could be used in an emergency. But hey...it's 3 blocks away! I had no idea that the city was going to haul it away @ seasons end. I guess I'll have to put a bucket in the back of my equipment trailer. Bummer.
