Odd Lovely Days of Danielle
Oktober Fest....sigh...If there is ever a definition for choas it would have Oktober Fest right beside it.
The day started as planned...Toph... his brother...and Ryan and supposedly this huge group of 20 people were going to go...well..no...I didn't think so...so next its just down to us 3...we finally get it together...and we are off!!!....No...why is everything so difficult...I am in the back seat listening to the ipod...I have no idea whats going on in the front seat...but we drive for 30 minutes and eventually end up where we started...because the brother decided driving for 4 hours wasn't in his cup of tea...ahhh..lets goooo...so I say this isn't going to happen is it? In that case I will just hop on a train myself...and I will go to münchen...in one last attempt...but a good one at that, the friend and the girlfriend are called...success! We hitched a ride with them!!! now we are talking...I love car rides....I can definitely relate to the dogs...I understand Sam,Happy, and Hazel...so sitting back cruising in the night air...good music...great stories...good drinks...it was bonding time...Finally Garmish....we arrived at the military edelwiess...the most grand hotel I ever did see..Sleep time...Thank you tamera! she was the wheels. Wake up and its game time....Well we hop on the train but not before I had some sick seeded bread that was probably rotted...but I thought I should eat it anyway...Train riding is always good..bought a 27 euro ticket for 4 people both ways..good deal eh?.....at this point I had no idea what to expect...everyone is on an energy high...but the girls have no idea whats in store...dun dun DUNNNNN! I should have seen it as forshadowing of what was to come for I was already sick and throwing up before we even got to the fest...being nocious is the worst feeling anyone could feel...chop my arms off but dont make me spin please....so everyone was waiting on me...way to go with eating the rotted sick bread..who knows what was living in it....but I felt better after that luckily...the town of münchen was nice...Calvin and the lady met us there...it was awesome...I haven't done a big group road trip like that in a long time. Good times...After walking for like 30 minutes...because no one could figure out where it was...which was beyond me..because that was the biggest thing going on in Europe at the time...floating dogs, the sickest hats I have ever seen...the germans I swear are so quirky!..bathroom breaks....more sick hats...more even sickier hats... painted lions...ridiculous pictures...finally we made it to the family fair! It was something I never imagined....Me and the lady Driver were all about riding the rides...it was like gooo goooo goooooooooo to the rides!!!!!!!! I have never seen so many people bussling about in one place...Tents..noise..drunken corpses....the longest thinnest sickest weiners I ever have seen...damn where was my camera...Everyone was worried that I would get trampled on...which...was always a close call...But I warned everyone that I am quite the wanderer....Me and Tamera hit it off really well...I like her by golly..she is a lot of fun...so we are chanting RIDES RIDES RIDES....!!!!!! We are trying to find more people that we were supposed to meet up with...snagged them and off to the Hoff Brau Tent! The biggest and most popular...Looks good so far...excitement is in the air a long with the cries of the drunken and the painful smell of stale hot thrown out beer. Dirt flooring...everyone in their traditional outfits...next time...some how I met people that I know from Heidelberg there too from the last visit? Whiich finding anyone in there is nearly impossible...
Well waiting for 3 hours outside the tent was not my idea of the fest...so far I wasn't too impressed......After having crazed drunken people smash me...big ladies busting through with 6 huge mugs in their arms...or carrying the slimiest wet wrinkled meat...sick cold huge pretzels...which by the way were originally used for the Christain Lent...blood..sweat...groups pushing this way and that...the scariest police I had ever seen and mean and crooked at that....before we even got in I saw more violence....take downs...out bursts...blood..bribes..sexual offers..sweet talk to get in..fights...people acting like they were working there....chases...etc..(People were doing aything to get in...) then I had seen on the news in 2 years...It was great! One of the lamest things that I still can't get over was a sick group of people rushed the front and hopped over the chain to get in...and they thought they could do it...because they had the most stupid hats on i have ever laid eyes on...everyone of them, this sick huge lion on their head..sitting on a huge mug of beer...they all looked like they were Dr. suess Characters...and bumping into one another ...charging...chanting hup hup hup...It goes into the sick hall of fame...of course they didn't get in..there faces we so sad..they really thought they were different from the rest of us...I am trying to see their thought process on this one...I lost my breath when I saw it....I need a moment after reliving that one...
Not to mention!!!!!...a crippled 3 fingered man having his hand down his pants and summoning the police to come over...the hand that was down his pants slowly creeps up around the mans arm..and the face that he gave is unforgettable....and then to top it of Annette with her accent....said oh my gosh did you see that mon put his retawded hend arond thot police? He hos a retawded hend! I laughed so hard...and was still laughing about it when I woke up...because it was the look she gave with it..a look of disgust and disbelief.... and no one else saw it..except her and I...of course...so now I am left to be buried with this memory forever...Mitch you would have loved it..it was definitely a Dinkis moment...
....... those poor police...everyone was so out of it..they were just huging them and and trying to be best friends and they would only give looks of disgust...rightly so though....that was hilarious though...and is still an on going joke by me....Beer makes everyone friends...if they REALLY saw those police they would have definitely been frozen in fear from a distance...so big..the meanest faces..
Just as I was about to leave and go get food and ride rides a beer wentch lets us all get in...now this is a place you never want to be left alone...thank god I didn't hop on the train...because I have to say..for the first time...I would have had no idea what to do..I would have died....it was insane...and to think its been going on since King Ludwig....thanks yaz...good article....
We are in!!!! finally...But totally not what I thought it was going to be....thousands of people....all standing.....loud..crazed people...it was like a new disease broke out....music...dancing...people being best friends from a blink of the eye...arm wrestling..great conversations...beer bigger than my head...So many nationalities...a band.. an enormous flying angel pig...the worst smell I have ever smelled...probably the time Jake and I recycled beer bottles...and was left in the car in the hot sun...but times 1 million...trash I had never even knew exsited on the floor...dead rotted fish! THEEEEEEEEE FEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!!!!! HAHA...the sweat...humidness..just down right disgusting...new diseases were formed there I just know it...the crazed men...it was like they were zombies and just found a human...
Meeting tons of people......laughing so hard...lots of the best beer I have ever encountered( After the 1st beer..Tamera and I said I dont think we are going to be riding any rides are we? We just shook our heads...)....it was like honey...and they have been brewing it the exact same way since 1600....so the night goes on...followers!!!!...and then of course I wander...everyone by the end of the night gets separated...It feels so late but its only 10:30...it was pure maeham....the tents closed at 10...thank god...met some Heidelberg friends...trying to call everyone to find where they are...thank you tamera for writing down everyones numbers before we left...it saved me...cell phone chip switch...taxi...what happend to the train...so two got on the train...So I taxi it back to the hotel...what a crap idea that was...but at the time oh it was just the BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I sit front seat the taxi driver is a weirdo and some how we are like best of friends by the end...He gave me some sick raisen like substance...and talked of god knows what...and finally we made it...a fare I will never reveal...and throwing rocks to get up other memebers in the room through the window......finally taxi man comes with me...hey CHREEEEEEEEEEES wake up...that was hilarious...oh my...finally its done..lost my cell phone in the process...of course...I had to lose something...finally we all make it back to the hotel in some fashion or another....but we are all in one piece....is this really my life? My dear Lord...sigh...
Tamera was upset because apparenty her time of getting home with the boxer stained (yes it is true...the morning never lies) boyfriend was a little more tramatic then my shotgun single ride.(thats a story all in itself)
Well Its time to go swimming...its only 12AM...the hot tub was great.but before that we have to break in...yea right...next time just turn the handel...it will be a lot easier..but it did make me feel like a secret spy.:)..doing butterfly in the pool...good talks..Its time to pass out...
Morning...time...we all had the craziest stories to share...and it was all in a days time...everyones story was different...it was hilarious...I laughed so hard...
Oh look...theres paragliders...Soon...
Finally...food time...yes we were all cool just having a little breakfast in an awesome....cafe...in.. bolvaria...like it was nothing...Dawno it was right next to the first pizza place we all went to..and I had the seafood pizza..which was definitely sea like...and I had those ridiculous nails on? ...then home....good music that I would never listen to except with a group...great friends.....good memories...amazing scenery..wavey nocsiating mountians...Dawno the same mountians that made me sick the last time....and to top it off the most handsome dog I ever did see riding back seat in a covertable...with the most swanky goggles...pitures..yes indeed...it was love at first sight! Mom, Hazel would have been swooning..
Well I think thats a wrap---Could that possibly have all been real? Welcome to the story of my life. I am off!
