Were you at Oktoberfest this past weekend? Because you probably were. It was damn crowded. This was my first Oktoberfest experience and honestly, it didn't wow me. Now, there might never be another in the future. Sad. Well, we got up to SF around noonish and promptly got into the Fort Mason Center after waiting in line for 15 minutes. Because of the token system, it took us another 30 minutes to get some beers and some German hot dogs AKA bratwursts. We met up with so crazy people, namely Bill Umoff (who sits next to me daily in our cubicle of terror). There was a bit of German music and dancing, but mostly people (a younger crowd really) were standing on tables and drinking. It was just ok. I got really sleepy after drinking a beer. I almost wanted to put my head down on the table because I was tired, or really because I was a little bored. We left in the late afternoon and headed over to Union Square for a shopping good time.
Later that night, we met up with the Berkeley gang for Jen's birthday dinner at Osha on Embarcadero. It was pretty good Thai food, but terrible service. Go there if you enjoy being neglected during dinner. I'm serious. But I had a really good Thai Milk-tini. Yum. Speaking of alcohol, we got Jen drunk to the point she was yelling obscenities at strangers. Awesome. In case you don't know, Jen talks really loudly and honestly when she drinks a lot. Ask me and I'll maybe share some stories. We ended up at Bubble Lounge after dinner, which was suuuper crowded because I guess a lot of people were celebrating birthdays. It was too crowded to even get drinks. I think I drank 1 or 2 Bellinis. Yum again. And sooo bubbly-icious. I was sooo tired that we left around 1ish and I almost fell asleep at the wheel while driving back to Sunnytown.
I'm old and can't stay out too late. Tru dat.
