Oktoberfest 2006...
There's been some speculation about whether we'll be holding Oktoberfest in Fargo next year. Frankly, I wouldn't hold my breath -- it would be like moving to New Orleans to teach the locals a thing or two about how to put on Mardi Gras.
According to its very informative Wikipedia entry, Fargo is 40.6% German and an additional 35.9% Norwegian, which, for Oktoberfest purposes, is effectively the same thing. The local Irish population hardly registers, and the local Polish population doesn't.
So I think we'll be attending someone else's party next year. We'll try to bring back some tips for Rockville Oktoberfest 2007.
What does this mean? It means that you'd better show up for this year's Oktoberfest if you'd like to bask in our hospitality anytime soon. Pay no heed to the rainy weather today: Saturday is forecast to be beautiful (see right).

Yeah, and I hear the Germans and Norwegians can't wait to welcome the Irish with chocolates and roses - as liberators, not conquerors.
Aren't there any Americans where you're going, comrade? Personally, I think the Germans and Norwegians should just pack up and head back to Norwegia and Germania, where they came from.
O - and it's pretty ethnically insensitive of you to say the Germans and Norwegians are the same. You're a clerk, not a Supreme Court Justice; you can't get away with such ethnic slurs till you've paid your dues keeping the colored people from voting in Arizona. Get some sensitivity training, ya ignorant bogtrotter.
