It was time to hit the tents Saturday, we got into town around 12 and found that all of the tents were already packed. Luckily Craig had a few extra passes from his Ultimate Frisbee tournament (his team reserved tables). We got inside and it was insanity, the waitresses all in traditional outfits were carrying 6-8 massive beers blowing whistles and hitting everyone in their way. To order beer you have to sit down so we found a few spots and let the festivities begin. The place was chaos, we stayed until 11pm or so when they closed it down. I met up with some other Canadians who saw my leafs shirt and apparently they were there at 8:30am just to get a seat. Everyone at some point in their life have to go Oktoberfest...
First view from inside the beer 'tent', its more like a airport hanger.
Sitting with the other Canadians who were there since 8:30, not sure how long they lasted.
this is barely a quarter of the room, I'd say about 95% were Italians.
Some crazy local.
Prosting, it happened every 5 minutes or so.
Eric and Jason who made the trip out for the day.
Some more locals.
The bands are Gods in the beer tent, they start the prosts every 5 minutes, belt out traditional tunes and classics. Sweet home Alabama, country roads and sweet child o'mine. They also had dance moves for every song that everyone seemed to know.
By 9pm everyone wanted to be in pictures. Everyone at this point is standing on the benches, only the waitress on the floor.
Cool shot around 9 or so.
This is is getting towards the end, people naturally lose their ability to walk. Guy in blue is a perfect example. I'm pretty sure he's saying 'i love you guys.'
