Oktoberfest ist Wonderbar

Yesterday kicked off Oktoberfest 2006.
It's our first year joining the festivities. We went to retroberfest which was awesome. They had a mini casino set up and food and beer of course. The topper the muchmusic video dance party set up. Yep Picture your grade nine dance with leiderhosen, fun hats and alot of beer! We danced and rocked out ot the 80's all night long there was a brief pause to Walter O it up and do the chicken dance and other polka classics. Cara also won a DVD of the Pursuit of happiness live in concert I am sure she'll treasure it! lol I didn't bring my digital camera just my regular one but I did get some great pics. We did however miss the elusive Oncle Hans. I saw his large orange head across the room while the official retroberfest keg was tapped and Cara and I headed over to get closer to him to take a photo. We were at a standstill half way over and an official looking man asked us to step over a bit and we inadvertantly joined a line to drink from the official keg. So as I turn from prosit ting (cheersing) it up with Cara about our free beer Oncle hans is gone. Dang it. Well I still have a week to find him and take a picture. The party continued into the wee morning hours.
I also snapped some pics of the girls getting 80's fied with the digital so enjoy the flashbacks. yes that is a banana clip, cone and crimped hair. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week!
