    October comes early here

    Octoberfest today at the local German deli/restaurant. Bockwurst, sauerkraut, German potato salad, and at least 4 imported German beers on tap.
    I can get stuffed and feeling pretty good for under $20, and a souvenir imported from Germany glass to boot.

    Sometimes there's this woman there who makes Lefse from scratch. Quite good just made & warm with butter.

    Not really. In Idaho, they're celebrating Oktoberfest, 1990.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Next weekend is our big event. I am working on a set of the Spaten mugs. Last year sucked as they ran out of the mugs on the first night and I had to settle for a Sam Adams mug instead. Nice looking mug, but it does not match the rest of them.

    In Germany, Oktoberfest takes place during the last two weeks of September.

    They got it right then.
    I like it when Mardi Gras is celebrated on Saturday (that's when most of the country does it). Get around that one Albie.

    The fest was about 60% of normal turn out. The weather was perfect but that may have been it, folks doing other things in the 77 degree weather.
    The price of the glassware has gone through the roof. $10 to $15 each. Very nice, large variety of made in Germany glasses and mugs but phugh them, got my Franziskaner in a plastic cup.

    The potato salad was good, but the wurscht & kraut was so so. The dumbass whities up here are happy with anything.

    The woman, the Lefse, or both ? Just wondering.

    The woman is kinda old and quite chubby. This is the second year she hasn't been there. Maybe the Deutchie that runs the place figured she was cutting into profits?

    Hello.

    5 days early?
    We expect an early October to mean a Winter!
