We went to the Jgerball (Hunters Ball) with Gunther Brand and his girlfriend Cathy.  Held in the Imperial Hoffburg Palace, vast numbers of outdoor supporters, hunters, and various people of all ages showed up dressed in traditional clothes.  The eagle you see is quite live!  We danced, chatted, and had a good time!  Just underneath the eagle you can see Jrg Haider, the infamous governor of Carinthia, the Austrian state which sponsored the Jgerball this year.  Some good political ripostes were made by the various introductory speakers.
