However, I would have to agree with your post 100%. ;D - MTatersKT738 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:49:17 +0100 http://www.ravenfan.com/rfcolumnists/beerblitz/29-its-that-time-of-year.html#comment-10 I certainly like EVERYTHING you have mentioned about the Oktoberfest festivities except for one aspect you mentioned and that is the BRATS. Seems like everywhere you go these days you can always count on encountering plenty of brats. At the grocery store, the mall, restaurants, and especially Walmart, brats can be found wandering unsupervised, many creating havoc and bothering other customers. The worst ones are the ones whose parents are with them and completely oblivious the their bad behavior, whining and crying, no wonder that old guy made the news for slapping that one at the Walmart. So... I am excited about all of the Oktoberfest celebrations, but I have to part ways with you when it comes to the brats. Come to think about it, maybe that is why beer is such a big part of it all, so you can tolerate the freakin' brats. Great post as usual, and thanks for the heads up about all the venues. - Bob Wheaton Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:11:03 +0100 http://www.ravenfan.com/rfcolumnists/beerblitz/29-its-that-time-of-year.html#comment-9 Great article.
