I’m guessing most have already seen Triumph’s trip to spin alley after one of the recent presidential debates, but I just watched it today. It’s as funny, if not funnier than when he visited the Bon Jovi concert or the Star Wars movie line.
The 44th annual Wurstfest begins in New Braunfels this Friday, October 29th and runs until Sunday, November 7th. I first started going to this festival when I was at UT in the early 90’s. Now that I’ve got a family, it’s become our fall tradition. It gets pretty crazy on weekend nights, so we’ve taken to going on the last Sunday when it’s a little less crowded and the kids can have fun. We also go that day because we can see Jimmy Sturr. I’d link to his site, but his home page blasts one of his songs at you as soon as it loads with no clear way of silencing it and I don’t want to encourage such behavior. What Jimmy lacks in web savvy, he more than makes up for in polka. You can catch him Saturday night at 9:30 or Sunday morning at 11:30 in the Wursthalle.
