Until next year...



This past weekend was Oktoberfest! It was a much smaller group then usual, but still fun as hell.

This year we kicked it up a little differently, with it being a small group and with Kerri and I living outside of the city we decided to get some cheap ass hotel rooms and just crash there for the night. Now when I saw cheap ass I mean CHEAP ASS. We booked a room at The Knights Inn just off Weber. The price was right and that was all that counted, it was dated to say the least.



Kerri ended up getting sick a couple days before and didn't make it out festing which sucked, as Oktoberfest is something that we look forward to every year, and have always gone ever since we have known each other. Of all the days to get sick the mighty flu bug decided it was that day.


The group hung out in the hotel for a bit before heading over to The Aud. Did a little (some a lot) of pre-drinking and decided to walk the 30 mins to the hall. During the walk I quickly found out that I had been heavily invested in the pre-drinking part of the evening. Thankfully the walk sobered me up enough just in time for the HUGE line that was formed outside of the fest hall.

The night went great with lots of beers, a couple sausages, and even some dancing, 4 dudes dancing together in a circle but still dancing! I had some worries about the table when we arrived but the cool guy who hand wrote a "Reserved" sign was quickly booted from the end of the table, by a new group of much nicer people. The end of the evening arrived and we took a cab back to the hotel and passed out on the floor.

Next year we are going to try for Concordia Club, hopefully Kerri will be able to come out too, it wasn't the same without her :(

Oh and the tradition of building a big pyramid of cups only to have someone drive their head through it continued! Sorry about the singing on the clip, by that time I was ziggy'd out!
