Oktoberfest...

And then God said: Let there be Oktoberfest... and so every October of every year all around the world, people come together and honor this tradition, of drinking beer and... well, pretty much just drinking beer. Oktoberfest was happening this past Friday night here in Guate, so I waited till the 5th game of the World Series to be decided before heading out. The Cardinals were up late in the game and the Tigers looked like they were giving up (the National League hadn't won it since 2003), so I was off I went to join my friends in this once a year celebration of beer. Parking was a huge pain in the butt, as it took me about 10 minutes to finally park the car (not as bad as trying to find a parking spot in Adams Morgan in DC... that was seriously the worst). Met up with my friends there and headed out to get some beer... I didn't wanna have Guatemalan beer, so I got this beer "Tucher" that was sold in the 500ml can presentation. I had never had it before, and it was really good... long story short, I ended up having six of those cans, which if you're good at math, adds up to 3 Liters of beer... damn!!! Besides some drama at the end of the night, it was a great evening of drinking.

Tucher beer... Six of those, and you're good to go!

Cheers!

On Saturday night I met some friends to a dinner party (it was more like a lunch get together, but we were extremely late). Plenty of vodka, shots, and dancing were done... Some pics of the event. Later on that night, some dude I was riding with hit a parked car and didn't leave a note or anything... Needless to say he was drunk, but the car he hit was parked inside a parking lot!!! And that was before going into the bar, hope he made it home safely...

Sunday caught a movie with Bob, Jud, and some friends of them. Even though I drove for about 40 minutes to meet them at some mall that's all the way across the other side of the city, it was then decided that we should go to a movie theater that's only 10 minutes away from my house... thanks guys! Good thing was we saw the movie for free (The Devil wears Prada... not my choice, but it has some funny moments).

Peace out,
