kiss me, i'm german

Even though I missed out on the Great Midwest Blogger Gathering of 2008 at an Irish pub and Guitar Hero playoff (which I wouldn't have been any good at anyway), I did have a great time with RL at the 30th Annual Oktoberfest.

It was actually one of the best times we've had there and not because of the beer. Because, though I'm German, I can't stand beer. That's ok, though, because I was the designated driver and got free Pepsi.

Anyway, we ventured into one tent that wasn't playing German music. (Yeah, I know, no beer and no German music. What kind of German am I?? We did get to do the chicken dance a few times -- ok, I did. RL isn't much into chicken dancing). There was a jazz band playing and then later Brandon Giles and the Tricky Two (think Jerry Lee Lewis). This Brandon guy was crazy! And, oh man, could he play the piano!!

So, even though the blogger world missed out on my karaoke performance (count yourself lucky) it was a great weekend of music and dancing!
