oktoberfest

Driving down Las Olas this morning I saw a white tent set up on the lawn next to the Riverside Hotel, all ready for the Oktoberfest celebration this weekend. I'll probably stop by - I'm a sucker for soft pretzels - but I doubt that it will compare with the Oktoberfest at the German-American Club in Hollywood which I attended last Saturday (and which takes place this Saturday and the next).

The Hollywood Oktoberfest was held in a hall that looked like a smaller version of a Munich beer tent, with homey decorations and blue-and-white checked tablecloths. Bratwurst, sauerkraut and potato salad were dished out by matronly women in dirndles. A troupe from the Miami German-American Club performed traditional dances, and then were joined on the dance floor by people needing to work off bratwurst, potatoes and beer. The youngest was one and half and dressed in lederhosen. I wonder how many pairs of lederhosen I'll see on Las Olas.

Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long

My blog is in the exact same niche as yours and my users
would truly benefit from some of the information you provide here.

Please let me know if this okay with you. Thank you!

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads
up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
Thanks

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but
I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting tired of Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.

I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction
of a good platform.
