Blame it on being ¼ German, or
on always looking for an excuse to get festive…..for the past 7 years we’ve celebrated
Oktoberfest.
It started with a low-key,
beer & brats BBQ with Quincy’s preschool class. It has evolved to 100+ people parties & 3
trips to Munich to celebrate full-on Bavarian style.
This year we were a bit at
odds - our flat isn’t big enough for an ‘invite the whole class’ event – and we
couldn’t yet justify a trip back to Munich..
Luckily the city hosted an
Oktoberfest on the Bay.
And - Eric & Jen (our
partners in Munich Oktoberfest 2009) were up to the task
We found many elements as expected
The ambiance...
The food...
The jumbo beers & Bavarian outfits...
(of course, in
litigation / paranoid USA the steins were plastic J)
Where it differed, was the range of ‘Oktoberfest’
inspired costumes…
Many Oriental Trading Co 1-piece /
sexy durndle
Some – as you’d expect in SF
- with their own interpretations….
While it was no Bavaria, we
appreciated the spirit
Here’s to getting your
festive on!
