What. A. Weekend!

Wurstfest rocks.  I love this festival SO much.  Even though the weather sucked on Saturday, we all went anyway.  We weren't going to let something like rain keep us away from our beer, starchy food, or oompah music!

Speaking of the music, I'm really into it.  I know I'm just a big ol' geek, but I look forward to hearing these bands all year long.  Bands like Alpenfest, or the Al Mexinor Trio.  Great fun.  I was also thrilled with this year's band from Germany: Stettholz Musikanten.  They are a wonderful German band (based in the Black Forest), but they do more than the traditional oompah stuff... they have a funky jazz/German fusion thing going on, and it's WONDERFUL.  I had the best time listening to them!  They were funny, too!

Speaking of funny, I've determined that people don't get drunk and wear funny hats often enough.  Wurstfest changes all of that, and I get to have fun with the digital camera:

Dude.  I bought WHAT last night?!

Wonder where my chicken stuffed animal went?

As the evening wore on, I noticed people getting more and more glazed.  The empty pitchers and cups (what we in New Braunfels refer to as WurstWare) were piling up, and people were getting FUCKED UP.  I love to be among the most sober people in a room.  It makes it more fun to laugh at others.  That guy who vomited in the trash can?  HILARIOUS!

Wurstfest continues through next weekend, and I'm sure I'll have more pictures to share with you throughout the week.  What?  My hat?  Wouldn't YOU like to know?!
