I've not been blogging as frequently as I had originally intended but am going to let myself be okay with it. "Less is more" someone once said, and I believe this to be true. Especially in the realm of blogs. But of course, there is always an exception.
One such exception is Oktoberfest at the Funk Haus Art Garten (FHAG) in Middlebury, VT. The underground social club originated as an homage to my Bohemian ancestors (pretty kick-ass coat of arms, don't you think?) who, like me, believed that less was more in most cases, with the exception of a few things. Oktoberfest was one of them.
The Bavarian celebration typically lasts between 16 - 20 days beginning the last week in September but being the Bohemians that my ancestors were, decided to "Funk the Germans!" and drank beer daily for three months while cooking up huge portions of Schweinsbraten and grilled hendl to sustain them through the cold and bitter winter season.
The Oktoberfest celebration to honor my Bohemian heritage began yesterday and will conclude when the hendl and schweinsbraten have all been eaten and the keg of beer runs out. Until then, I'll be doing what I can to share a little more joy in the world and funk things up just enough to keep life interesting.
I hope you will do the same.
