Oktoberfest


Oct. 6, 2008

What can I say about Oktoberfest? Ummmm. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. All I know is most of the photos I found on my camera the next day are of me, meaning I drunkenly passed my camera around the Hofbrau Tent and posed for hours. "Look how much fun I'm having!" What an idiot. It was fun though. At least it looks like it was. I don't remember most of the people I'm hanging onto.

Prost!

Maggie!
You are too cute.
I wish you could have just packed me in your back pocket. I hope that by the time I'm old and fortunate and mature enough to do something like this YOU'RE not too old to hang out with a illy lil party face.
PS. Come see me. Or let me come see you.. maybe? How long will you be in Europe?

God. That was from Claire.
I can't really figure out how to post these comments.

I had the same memory problem in the Haufbrau tent last year. My favorite part of Oktoberfest was watching the drunk people try to go up the conveyor belt to the big slide without falling. What a kick.

Stay well,
DR
