I don't want to admit it, but I lost track of the number of Stammtisch events hosted since the original Stammtisch Anchorage I, was hosted on January 2, 2015, hence why this is "XXXIX?" If someone has a more complete event database than I have, I will gladly update the number to correct the counter.
Stammtisch: Loosely translated from German meaning a "regular get-together." Literally speaking, the word Stammtisch is a table in a bar or restaurant which is reserved for the same guests at the same time every day or every week. There is usually a sign on the table saying "Stammtisch." If you don't belong to this table, don't attempt to sit there! In the most traditional German beer halls there is a large brass plaque above the table with the word Stammtisch printed on it in bold lettering.
There can be all kinds of Stammtisch. There are those simply for friends to drink together. Or those for specific interest groups - say a "Philosophy Discussion Stammtisch" or a "Stamp Collectors Stammtisch". In our case, it is a "Geocaching Stammtisch."
Hopefully, this event will resuscitate the tradition of cachers regularly, but informally, getting together to swap stories, tips, and tricks over a meal or beverage, since it appears the last Stammtisch may have been 2017 Stammtisch Kickoff, hosted nearly a year ago on January 4, 2017, by FTL-AK.
