Man!! Oktoberfest was a blast! I AM a little irritated about paying 22 bux for 2 beers, but I've learned from my mistakes and won't repeat them. The biergarten sucked...then we found this awesome public house near the heart of the festival w/ no cover and cheep booze. Fun fun! Also there was a live dyke band that sounded like Indigo Girls had a lovechild with Janis Joplin...pretty good! Getting to and from Mt. Angel was a nightmare though!! It's only 40 miles from Portland, but I think half the city was going down there at the same time as us. I-5 was a snarled mess as soon as we got to the 214 interchange in Woodburn. It took us an hour to move 1 mile. Oddly enough, once we got on 214 it was mostly smooth. On the way back (*&^@#) we hit a dead stop on hwy 99e, had to turn around and hop back on 214, which was at a stand-still...so we cheated and used surface streets thru Woodburn and got around it all only to find ourselves sitting on the I-5 parking lot. So we tried to take hwy 51 up thru Aurora and hit a dead stop there too....all roads leading back to the city were absolute crap last night...it took us 2.5 hrs to get home! We had dinner reservations at 7 and skated in at the last possible moment. Dinner was flippin' killer though!! We went out for Ethiopian (again...every few months) and there was a live band playing...and a dance troupe. Very sexy and hypnotic. We all had a great time. Yummy food, good service, cheap drinks and crazy music/dancers. Nice day.
And now it's back to school!!
