Nashville Oktoberfest 2010
October 9, 2010 08:22:41 PM
     Today was Nashville's Oktoberfest again! And this year I dressed the part, I wore my very own pair of authentic lederhosen. Unfortunately this was the first year I went with out Khine, but I did go with a co-worker who doesn't drink that much, so it worked out great for the both of us. I showed him around and all the places to get the best beer and food, as well as where the traditional polka music areas are, and he was able to drive me back to his place to level off. It's getting more and more crowded each year, like it's getting really difficult to just walk around by lunch time. And they keep running out of the big beer mugs earlier and earlier, by 12:30 all the tents were completely sold out of any sized glass mugs, luckily I brought 2 mugs for the both of us, and man was that a money saver. They were charging 5 bucks for people to buy a regular sized red party cup, but it also only cost me 5 bucks to get my huge .75 liter mug filled! A much better deal. So I guess I couldn't get my full sized Pauliner glass again :-(
     Oh well, the German platters were great. $10 gets you a huge bratwurst on a bun, sauerkraut, baked beans, and potato salad. I also got a soft pretzel a little later, wasn't hungry enough to get the Reuben this year, which is $9 by the way. Also at the festival this year was a stand selling a huge variety of traditional steins, small ones from $25 to giant 14inch ones for 100. There was also one of those giant street performer robots, that was interesting. Other than the heat, it was another nice event.

COMMENT: Did that robot walk around like the one in video does? Oh man, that would be so cool! What can this robot do? Where is it from? Who built it?

COMMENT: Yup, he walks around, there is a man inside believe it or not, a street performer. I think some entertainment firm hosts these things to public events, sort of like how you can reserve a clown for parties.
