Last night we headed up to Lincoln Square for Mayfest and stayed in the back area to avoid the massive crowds of years past (2008 & 2010). As most neighborhood festivals in Chicago, Mayfest works on the ‘voluntary donation’ for entrance and the tickets system for food and drinks. Each ticket is $1 and 15 tickets gets you a boot filled with a liter of beer, 10 tickets gets you a refill. Not exactly a deal but it’s not every day you get to drink beer out of a boot.

After a hard fought battle of Kickball we headed to May Fest Chicago in Lincoln Square for a afternoon of German drinking.  In the photograph above you can see that Dom and I need body guards while attending such events.

My thoughts on May Fest Chicago:

  1. Five dollar ‘german’ felt hats are worth every penny. 
  2. ‘Stroller People’ should not attend ‘German drinking festivals’.
  3. Douchebags can be parents too.
  4. May Fest Chicago a is clinic in bad parenting.
  5. Keeping your child on a leash is not a ‘solution’.

In the photograph above Dom has just done the math and has calculated that a German felt hat w/feather only costs €3.40.

He is now acutely aware of the crisis that is the US Dollar.
