Stammtisch Klizich Event Cache

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's a "Geocaching Stammtisch."

This event continues the Alaskan caching tradition of cachers informally getting together to swap stories, tips, and tricks over a meal or beverage.  A bonus featured attraction is the attendance of klizich, a cacher, retired cop, and substitute teacher from New Jersey who made Ladybug Kids' visits to East Coast in-laws something to actually look forward to.  Don't let some of the attributes on the Event page throw you...they are merely decoration to help klizich feel right at home.

In addition to a wide variety of locally brewed beers, the venue offers home-brewed soft drinks and a menu of appetizers, main courses, and desserts.  Weather permitting, the event will be hosted on the outside deck which overlooks Ship Creek, Cook Inlet, the Port of Anchorage, and if we are lucky, a view of Mount Susitna, Mount Foraker, and Denali.  If the weather is insufferably soggy, the event will be moved indoors.

Happy Spring!
