Oktoberfest hits Yahoo!

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m still relatively new at Yahoo! So when I came into work on Monday and saw a special Yahoo! Oktoberfest 2007 glass … I thought it seemed kinda cool and didn’t really give it much more thought.

Then we had our all-hands meeting on Wednesday afternoon (you can get an idea of where Jerry and the other execs see us headed over on Yodel) and I found out that Yahoo! takes Oktoberfest pretty seriously. For more than 10 years now Yahoos have been treated to some good ol’ German inspired delicacie and some Munich style tunes.

Above you will see some of the delicious Apple Sausage (sliced into easily snackable sizes) and to the left you can see the leader of our German style Oktoberfest.

Even though the party didn’t really start until about 5PM, Yahoos happily stayed into the evening. I even spotted some folks from the Mail team returning to their desks with some new-found energy.

Next year I will know to wear my lederhosen.
