Beer Hoors
Saturday I went to Oktoberfest at Timonium Fairgrounds with V, Jim F., B-Funk, Shannon, Christoff, etc. It was OK, there was a pretty good band called The Bridge. There were chicks walking around dressed like german beer whores (girls love an excuse to dress slutty, if you don't believe me wait until halloween), and some old men wearing lederhosen (disturbing), and most of the beers I tried I didn't really like, but the weather was glorious and the event culminated (as any good beerfest should) in Funkmaster-B stealing a giant pot of mums, putting Christoff in the trunk, and running over traffic cones. Then we went to a party where I talked to this guy who looked like a basement-vampire-DJ-of-the-night in his shiny new doc martins, purple-black bowl haircut, and elongated teeth. When asked what his favorite music was, he said OLD SCHOOL RAP! wtf!? In the middle of one girl telling a story about her vacation, another girl cut her off with the question "Do you masturbate in front of your husband?"
The hosts had a dog named FRED. a pug. so funny

On the hayride
Anyway this is why I love having kids: Sunday we went to a pumpkin patch. It was once again fantastic out, although a bit on the chilly side; sweatshirt weather. We took a bouncy hay ride (where they ingeniously made seats from bales of hay instead of the ghetto style sitting on the ground kind that you usually find) to where the pumpkins were growing, then combed the field for the best/biggest/prettiest pumpkin, went through a corn maze, fed some baby goats, pet some cows, bought some fresh apple cider and squash... it was such a good time and something I know I would NEVER do if I didn't have kids. When we came home we ordered dinner and watched A Series of Unfortunate Events which wasn't that good, and baked pumpkin sugar cookies (keeping with the theme of the day) which were yum. I can't wait to carve up those pumpkins so I can cook some stuff using the fresh pumpkin- a soup, or a stew? Did I mention that I LOVE FALL?!
