The Best Friend and I spent some quality time at the Oktoberfest celebration in our neighborhood. The plan was to get all sorts of legless on some good biere, but since it was just the two of us -- that didn't pan out quite the way it should have.
I live in the most gorgeous neighborhood ever all thanks to HUD. Yay low-income housing!
The Best Friend is amped for ROCKtoberfest...I mean, Oktoberfest.
One of the community's numerous fountains. I wonder if you can make wishes in these things. What's the deal with that?
We encountered a very nice man making cotton candy. While I can understand its importance in the pantheon of carnival/fair food, I've gotta admit -- I've never been a big cotton candy fan. Kettle corn, on the other hand? I would tear that up.
Ahhh, fair food. Just looking at it will probably give you a coronary, but damned if it doesn't smell divine and taste delicious. This was one of the coolest fair food inventions I've ever seen -- a power drill used to cut up potatoes. Handy and yummy.
This reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean display at Downtown Disney.
Nothing says Halloween like a giant, inflatable gourd.
Trash is kinda scary too, right?
Carousel ponies. The only way to travel in style.
It wouldn't be Oktoberfest without men in lederhosen. Do those shorts remind anyone else of the Boy Scout uniform?
And what goes better with a frosty cold Beck's than a hat with a feather in it?
Prost! Now, we dance!
Is The Best Friend very big or are the mugs very small? Hmmm....food [or root beer, rather] for thought.
Ziggy socky, ziggy socky, hoi hoi hoi
And when I'm not chugging down mini mugs of root beer, you can find me writing front page stories for the Central Florida Future.
Annnnnd, I'm jonesing for Costa coffee. The one in the bookstore across the street from Trafalgar Square. Transatlantic coffee run, anyone?

Fun stuff. Our Oktoberfest's always consist of way too much beer. We need more cotton candy and kettle korn stands!
I agree -- any celebration with kettle corn is one I'm more than happy to attend!
