hahaha .. hey guys ... i am from bavaria and i have to say the oktoberfest in munich is something real different than oktoberfest in appleton ... different food ... different everything .. and where is the fucking beer tent?? hilarious!
I haven't been able to make to to Oktoberfest for the past couple years due to working but this year looks promising. Hopefully this year they will have some nice German beer instead of the normal watered down piss that most people drink at this event.
What street did they have the polka at? I'd be curious to go check that out since I'm mostly German and Polish.
I can never believe the crappy beer they have there, right?
I have no idea where that polka was at. I think over somewhere by the YMCA, but I could be wrong. If you walk up and down the Ave., you'd definitely find it.
Yes it's also called d'Wiesn in Bavaria, because the location is called Theresienwiese the name of the wife crown prince Ludwig married there in 1810 the first Oktoberfest.
Only breweries from the region of Munich are allowed to sell beer in the large tents, thus you get Löwenbräu, Augustiner, Spaten, Hofbräu, Hacker-Pschorr and Paulaner beer at the real Oktoberfest.
Oktoberfest is actually the celebration of a a king (forget his name) getting married he wanted to have a huge party to celebrate that he found his love. The real oktoberfest in germany is the BEST!! Also the one on Hollaman AFB!!
well maybe you think the beer selection sucked because traditionally there is only suppose to be one kind og beer which is the beer that is made all year just for oktoberfest.. I forget the name!
i live in appleton, i was at the kettlekorn place getting tons of free samples i went the night of saturday and the parking ramp where you were thats a cool spot man
Whoa, love the roof shot! Used to work in that building with the scary vertical windows on the 4th floor. Great times those were. By the way, sorry to flood your inbox with all these comment alerts. It's one of those boring nights at 3AM where I'm waitin' for the laundry to finish and got nothing much else to do, so there ya go!
Hehe true true^^ But hey, I did spot some Lederhosen and Bratwurst, so it's alright^^
Yah I hope the video will turn out the way I plan it... not that there's actual planning involved (or even possible) but I had so many ideas over the past few days... and I really wanna make it a good and funny video to watch cuz all I did lately was vlogging and I feel the need to make a change every once in a while. So stay tuned, it will be on here soon (I cross my fingers^^)
Oktoberfest in September? They're putting Christmas decorations out at the same time as those for Halloween in our stores right now. I wish we could have things when they're meant to be, I'd like to shop for a swimming costume in the summer! Thanks for sharing all that food, I need a snack now. Cheers, Lesley
Believe it or not, the real Oktoberfest in Germany is always the last weekend in Sept. too. I think its meant to celebrate the coming of October or something. Yes, that food was gooood! But x-mas decorations? Ugh. I suppose I should start shopping!
Answering comments now while I eat this could be classed as tomorrow's breakfast I suppose! OK if we're celebrating the 'coming' of October then it can't happen any later hee hee. Oh I shouldn't eat I'm still rolling from sailing (just posted a vid) but all that food made me feel like a snack! Cheers, Lesley
The secondary reason I always love going up to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI, is the food. Go in the fall and the temperatures are very kind to blown and turbocharged engines, plus you get to eat all the fruits of Wisconsin's finest cornfields, cheese churns, and bratwurst trees. [ahem]
Yeah...it was nice.I had that funeral yesterday morning for that girl who's brother passed away. It might have been the saddest thing i've ever been too. So it was good to go to the festival afterward and just rewind a bit. I feel like a huge cloud has been lifted! :)
b. I've told Mark that he reminds me of Mr Funny and he saw the resemblance when I showed him one of the videos. He's been itching to get into my videos, so this was a good opportunnity.
c. Glad you got the crocs shot! That was just for you! LOL
Marks one of my best friends from work. I've known him over 13 years! He and i hand out a lot and he's the one i went to Vegas with. He's been itching to get in my videos, so here's a good start.
And do you want to talk about the Packer game? Poor Vickings...
Looked like a lot of fun Gary. That's one of the nice (or fattening) things about this area. There is always a street fair going on somewhere - esp in NYC - where every weekend is dedicated to another cultural group - or so it seams.
We don't have a lot of things like that around here, so when we do, we just get a ton of ppl. I'm not sure how many ppl attended Oktoberfest, but its around 30 or 40,000. It's pretty cool! :)
Appleton WI has around 70,000 ppl who live there. It's about 20 minutes south of Green Bay which has just over 100,000. I live somewhere in between the two. All together, the surrounding areas have a lot of small communities. Anyway, Oktoberfest is a big deal to this whole area! (Btw where i live has only 2000 ppl!)
Now how outragous were those brownies?? lol That looked like an excuse to eat large amounts of fair food and to drink.....Bud Light....how can it be Oktoberfest without lederhosen?
mmm, German bear is real bear!!! :¬D food looks good though, where is the german food??? did I just here that you have Camera envy... :¬D always great to see a slice of your life @¬D
Ever since I could remember, Appleton has had their Oktoberfest during the last weekend in September. And believe it or not (I just went to WIkipedia to verify) it coincides with the real Oktoberfest in Germany, held at the same time.
And non-alchohalic beer is always a good choice too! Join in the fun just as well! :) (That's what my 80 year old grandma will drink from time to time!)
looked ike a lot of fun and also very popular. one year I'm hoping to go to the real Octoberfest in Munich. So you ate but did you sample the lovely beer? ;0
I hope to go to the real Octoberfest too. That would be grand. I'll meet you there!
Believe it or not, i didn't have any beer yesterday. I had my share to sample last night (went to the same night-time version of the fest). Yesterday was just to relax after going to that difficult funeral.
Thanks for taking me, oh, I mean us, to Oktoberfest! Wait, it's Septemberfest if it's Sept, right? ;) I want to go to the celebration they have here this year. Every single year I say I am going to go. But never do. It's held in a hotel, not on the streets like this, which is what I would love to do. Not sit in a stanky hotel sloshing down a beer and brat to oompa music. Neato stuff!! What is that fried stuff you bought?
I'm glad y'all fit in my european man-bag that i could bring you along! :)
That fried stuff I bought was called a tiger paw. It was deep fried dough drenched in sugar. It had the biggest lines of all yesterday! Man, it was GOOD! :)
LOL! I will tell you the story of sugar. I used to go to Mardi Gras yearly and we have a friend who is a drag queen performer and "she" stated I needed a drag queen name and to think about it. Of course I couldn't come up with one, so she decided to name me... Shooga Kane. Now I want to try a tiger paw!!
I'm having the worst issues today with regards to video. My phone will NOT allow me to download videos (well, the program) and there's something on there I wanted to use. Then it just took me about an hour to upload something. I think it's giving me a sign...
The video i did on the river with the "tractormovlog" was like that. I took it from my digital still camera and none of my editing programs would pick up the sound. It took a couple hours before i found a work around (hitting play in quicktime and just recording the audio off of my computer!).
I showed another friend this video and his response was also "Kill the mime!" LOL
Lots of good (but bad for you) food today! Usually i grab a sugary Mt. Dew too and just eat as much crap once a year as I can. That's what Oktoberfest is all about! :)
looks like good fun, beer brats and cheese curds YUM! I Love squeaky cheese! ) it's been almost 15 years since I've been to Wisconsin and had squeaky cheese!
Wisconsin is such an awesome state for fun times. Thanks for posting!
You're very welcome! Although I didn't have any cheese curds today, I have my fair share of them. I LOVE them...the squeakier the better! That means they're fresh! :)
Fattening food, beer and polka music, what more could you ask for? Oh and a hot girl wearing a tight dirndl on your lap, whispering sweet German nothings into your ear. :D
Oh that looked like a good time Gary! Thanks for taking us along. I'm starving now after seeing all that food. In fact, I'm about to make a 10:30 pm food run because of you. LOL Hope your weekend is good. -Jim
Thanks Jim! It was a nice time. We've had some rough times going on here as i mentioned in my last video. I had a funeral to go to this morning for a gal i work with..so this Oktoberfest was a very nice way to change my mind from that today...and a much needed good time was had! Now you got the munchies! LOLOL Whatcho gonna git? LOL
Gary I made the run to the store and it looked like I was trying to kill myself with junk food. LOL My basket had pizza, ice cream, cookies, chips and diet coke. The diet coke will offset all the bad stuff wont' it? LOL
Ha ha! I don't know if you noticed in my video, but i had a diet pepsi with that steak sandwhich,. After eating that deep fried tiger paw, i told my friend mark that the diet pepsi should offset things just fine! Makes sense to me! LOL
Looks like a great street fair, and Rolling Rock is nice on a hot day, but it ain't Oktoberfest without German beer ... And suddenly I'm hungry for a BBQ steak sandwich and a bottle of Spaten Optimator!
Yeah, I'm a german/dark beer kind of guy...so for them to have rolling rock and bud lite on tap seems quite unacceptable. Oh well. Luckily they have many other flavors to my liking that i took part in LAST night! :) *hic*
Have you seen the Oktoberfest from Brazil?
The South of Brazil have 22 millions Germans descendants and the Oktoberfest there really rocks!!!

Of course I couldn't come up with one, so she decided to name me... Shooga Kane. Now I want to try a tiger paw!!

Oooh....Shooga Kane/Ghetto Grrl/etc. you are the queen of alter-identiites!
That Tiger Paw was really good although i threw away about 1/2 of it! It was just too big!
anakin1814 4 years ago
LOL @ alter-identities ;)
I'm having the worst issues today with regards to video. My phone will NOT allow me to download videos (well, the program) and there's something on there I wanted to use. Then it just took me about an hour to upload something. I think it's giving me a sign...

The video i did on the river with the "tractormovlog" was like that. I took it from my digital still camera and none of my editing programs would pick up the sound. It took a couple hours before i found a work around (hitting play in quicktime and just recording the audio off of my computer!).

anakin1814 4 years ago
That looked like fun. Too much food to sample in one day. Grease, sugar, polka overload!
trillian57 4 years ago
I certainly didn't sample even 1/2 of the food I showed (I wanted too). Grease and sugar, does it get any better than that!?
anakin1814 4 years ago
Gyros and beer, yummy!! Kill the mime kill the mime!!! steak sandwich yummy too!! Well forget about ya diet there!!!

I showed another friend this video and his response was also "Kill the mime!" LOL
Lots of good (but bad for you) food today! Usually i grab a sugary Mt. Dew too and just eat as much crap once a year as I can. That's what Oktoberfest is all about! :)
anakin1814 4 years ago
looks like good fun, beer brats and cheese curds YUM! I Love squeaky cheese! ) it's been almost 15 years since I've been to Wisconsin and had squeaky cheese!
Wisconsin is such an awesome state for fun times. Thanks for posting!

You're very welcome! Although I didn't have any cheese curds today, I have my fair share of them. I LOVE them...the squeakier the better! That means they're fresh! :)

Fattening food, beer and polka music, what more could you ask for? Oh and a hot girl wearing a tight dirndl on your lap, whispering sweet German nothings into your ear. :D

There were a few attractive "beer maids" that I saw today, but never had my camera out in time. I never new German could sound so sexy! LOL

Oh that looked like a good time Gary! Thanks for taking us along. I'm starving now after seeing all that food. In fact, I'm about to make a 10:30 pm food run because of you. LOL Hope your weekend is good. -Jim

Thanks Jim! It was a nice time. We've had some rough times going on here as i mentioned in my last video. I had a funeral to go to this morning for a gal i work with..so this Oktoberfest was a very nice way to change my mind from that today...and a much needed good time was had! Now you got the munchies! LOLOL Whatcho gonna git? LOL
anakin1814 4 years ago
Gary I made the run to the store and it looked like I was trying to kill myself with junk food. LOL My basket had pizza, ice cream, cookies, chips and diet coke. The diet coke will offset all the bad stuff wont' it? LOL
CountryComesToTown 4 years ago
Ha ha! I don't know if you noticed in my video, but i had a diet pepsi with that steak sandwhich,. After eating that deep fried tiger paw, i told my friend mark that the diet pepsi should offset things just fine! Makes sense to me! LOL

Oh goodness, I can smell that kettle corn now! Mmmmm, love that stuff! :0)

That looks so fun!! Wish I could of gone! I love kettle corn :D What was that big round thing you were holding at 3:15?
TasteLikePoison 4 years ago
Hey there! That round thing was called a Tiger Paw. It's basically deep fried dough covered with sugar. It was AMAZING! :)
anakin1814 4 years ago
Looks like a great street fair, and Rolling Rock is nice on a hot day, but it ain't Oktoberfest without German beer ... And suddenly I'm hungry for a BBQ steak sandwich and a bottle of Spaten Optimator!
kenrg 4 years ago
Yeah, I'm a german/dark beer kind of guy...so for them to have rolling rock and bud lite on tap seems quite unacceptable. Oh well. Luckily they have many other flavors to my liking that i took part in LAST night! :) *hic*
And just watching my vid makes me MORE full! :)

Thanks Jazzy! It was fun to make! I'm more of a vlogger by nature, so these are always fun to do from time to time. And yes, we had a good time! :)
anakin1814 4 years ago
First! hehehe!
Brats! That's the best thing about Octoberfest! Save one for me! LOL!
Hope you had fun! (looks like you did!)
*hugs*

Living in WI, brats seem to be a normal part of our diet! They have NOTHING to do with ONLY Oktoberfest! LOL
anakin1814 4 years ago
This is true. They are an essential staple of tailgating! haha!
In Bucyrus, OH, they have a thing called BratFest, and alot of the brats are made locally.
Excuse me, I have to wipe the drool off of the keyboard! LOL!
ShortbusMooner 4 years ago
Yes...they are a standard for all of our summer BBQs too. Good stuff but so bad for you! :)
