Oktober(fest)

Happy October! My apartment is freezing - I've been sitting around in sweatshirts, jeans and thick socks all week...I look like I'm in high school again.

Last weekend I got into the "Oktober" mood by celebrating my friend Liz's birthday at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria where Oktoberfest was in full effect. There was a great band, delicious food, and of course, great costumes.

some good old fashioned Czech dancing...

my absolute favorite thing all day: cymbal spurs!
