LOL. I'm wearing my Polka's Not Dead T-shirt this morning. On a Teams call a coworker said "is that a wolf with an accordion"? My response: don't worry about it. What fantastic timing for a message of hope.
My sister in law's family is Polish and from Ohio. For years now, I've been going out to visit them in September to do a bastardized American Oktoberfest. Pretzel chicken, potato pancakes with applesauce and sour cream, red cabbage, apple streudel, Pinkus Urpils, etc.
And every time, Dreadnoughts polka songs have been on in the background while cooking. I've been trying to teach my niece to dance the polka and now that she's 4 she's getting the hang of it. I'll send a video if we pull it off this year.
Point being: this gig sounds like my dream. Work constraints bedevil me, but hopefully there'll be some good video and stories that come out of this to live vicariously. I'm sure it'll be a blast!! Have fun!!
Was at the Show in Wisconsin on Saturday. You guys did a great job. Glad I got to see you all live and so close to home. Definitely the slight change in music to breathe more life into the Oktoberfest scene.
Trust me, the combo of beer, brats, noise, and polka music will heal your soul. You and the buoys will make everywhere a dance floor and pull down the sky for stars. Have fun!!

Dude this is so fucking cool. I wish I could come! I should quit my job.
You and me both. "Adulting" sucks.
Did you end up quitting??

Aw thanks! Yeah this was really just a warmup for next year...

You were right!
"alt" also German for "old".
"alt-Oktoberfest" may be the best thing I have heard this week. Wish I could come to see the show.
Oh that's an awesome title... alt-oktoberfest. Hmmmmm
