Oktoberfest

Beer was flowing aplenty this Saturday at the Von Steuben Day celebrations at Central Park to celebrate the start of Oktoberfest. Von Steuben, I was reminded, was a German soldier hired by Congress during the Revolutionary War to train Washington’s volunteer soldiers and turn it into a disciplined professional army.

Remnants of hurricane Ivan made the day a little bit windy and soggy here in NY, but by Sunday, the sky was clear. The first chill of Fall is definitely in the air.

A big shout out the my friends Walter and Thom who were represent’n my old shop, DDB at the Battle of the Ad Bands benefit show tonight. They started off a little rocky but by the end of the their set, they were rocking hard. It made me miss my electric Strat which got stolen a while back.
