A word to the wise – the reason Carol Stream’s Oktoberfest is not heavily advertised, or even listed on Metromix’s website, is because it’s not worth attending. We actually dragged our butts out of the house today in anticipation of some good German food and music and for what? Nothing! The was one pathetic food booth (two if you count Culver’s frozen treats which I do not) and a band who wasn’t playing any music. And you should have seen the keg. I’ve seen larger ones at kids’ parties.
In a matter of five minutes we were gone and on our way to Blockbuster to rent a movie instead. I’m making tacos and I sure do hope they don’t kill me since my body is reacting oddly to a variety of foods since August. I mean tongue swelling from yogurt? WTF?
That is very odd that your tongue would swell from yogurt. Must have developed an allergy. Be careful!
So five minutes at the festival, but how much time was wasted driving there and finding parking?
Five minutes driving and 0 minutes finding parking. That should have been our first clue – there was plenty of available parking.
