As most of you know this weekend is Oktoberfest in Elicottville NY, for the special kids in the Class, please sit still, and I'll explain.
Every year the great town of Ellicottville in its infinite wisdom, decides to give back to the alcoholic community, by closing off the streets in downtown for the Falling Leaves Festival, or whatever BS Name they gave it. It's fucking Oktoberfest, dood! I know what you're thinking, oh that sounds like a fun family event, OK! Sure bring little Johnny and Suzie, if you want Johnny to come home smelling like booze and sex. And lil Suzie telling you about all the nice boys who gave her harry Pepsis all night...you do that.
For the past five years or so, all the fine upstanding citizens that I grew up with, trickle back into town for some much needed relaxation time, or to run a drunk muck in Ellicottville. Oktoberfest A.K.A Not-Sober-Fest has become a tradition we take seriously, because drinking and tradition is serious stuff. We get together, see what's really good (aww tear) and drink, a lot. So, lets talk party, shall we?
Orange barricades surround the downtown area like a giant playpen for twenty something's to drink their faces off, for no good reason other than it's October and the sun's out....Wait!? What?! That's a great reason to drink! Inside the playpen you can find all the amenities of a backyard mini fair complete with a petting zoo, hippies, and did I mention Beer? Yes, hippies selling tie dies, aunt Marge slinging funnel cake out the back of her Dodge, and Firemen pushing frosty adult sodas out of a truck in support of cancer (that gets a Wayne's World...Awesome!). To my personal favorite vendor, Joe's Smoked Chicken. I have never actually tasted the food, but the bumper stickers are fantastic! With a picture of a red eyed chicken that reads"WE ONLY SMOKE THE GOOD STUFF." I almost forgot to mention the rock climbing wall! A must do for the smashed. What could be better than climbing a huge friggin' wall hammered with all of your friends yelling, "I hope you slip you dumb bastard and your head breaks the fall." Great times.
As for the bars, EVl definitely gots 'em. I would suggest going to E.B.C early in the day for a blueberry beer complete with fresh Blueberries. After that walk around, you'll find your way into some fine establishment that serves super yummy sippy treats, and hoppy pops. If you're looking to get cougared try Balloons ask for John F. they love him there!
As always I have to give a big shout out to all the Greer Hill Crunk Allstars for throwing down yet again, big up for sure! Triple, B Rad always appreciated, and to B Rad's autistic friend for the shirts.
Hope to See your ass out so you can buy me a drink!
