The original "Oktoberfest" occurred in Munich, on October 18, 1810: For the commemoration of their marriage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen organized a great horse race (the marriage took place on October 12; the horse race on October 17—therefore, there are different dates named as being the first Oktoberfest). With all that said lets talk about what Octoberfest is really about. Its drinking ALOT of beer. Alot doesn't even come close to describe the amount of beer consumed at Octoberfest. Octoberfest is about drinking MASSIVE amounts of beer. Every year Octoberfest is held in Germany, locally it is held in Addison at Addison Circle. I myself have experienced Octoberfest in Addison for the past2 years and I will be partaking in the festivities again this year. It is becoming a tradition amongst my friends and I to go to Addison and get blackout drunk during Octoberfest. The attached picture is a blur in my mind. Well I'm not going to give you too much about our Octoberfest shenanigans right now so you will have to tune in for my Octoberfest recap, and I'm sure Captain Awesome will regale you with his Octoberfest stories as well.
