Swiss German Translation for the above headline: "Dear Oktoberfest, where do you come from?" Talk about a loaded question! Truth is, from what I can gather from old newspaper clippings, hand-written notes and word of mouth from those who experienced it, it's a mash up. It didn't just spring forth out of one grand idea.

So the project died without its first issue hitting the...
