Well, I can honestly say that if you weren't here on Saturday night, you missed out on one heck of a party. The cold of October gave way to an Indian summer, causing Harvest Moon to throw open its doors and let the perfect evening temperatures aerate the cafe. The sound of a skilled live musician and grown-up laughter enchanted the night and drew the crowds in to see what the hubbub and hullabaloo was all about.
What an outsider would have walked into was a gathering of people spilling out of a trendy, quality, and classy brick building. Behind the counter one would find black-clad staff working like bees in a hive, and Mr. Brian himself humoring those at the bar with his Brian-like-antics and impeccable conversational skills. All around would be a mix of old and young enjoying samples from the various vendors as well as some house-made hors d'oeuvres straight from the kitchen, not to mention Harvest Moon classics like the Bison Burger or the Hummus and Olives Appetizer.
Even with an OSU game going on at 9pm, the turnout was exceptional. It seemed from my standpoint that not many ordered their tickets in advance; rather, most strolled in and bought their tickets at the event itself. The draw seemed to be the people enjoying themselves on our awesome patio; credit also should be given to the live-musician, who will receive a shout-out on our Facebook.
The laughter and samples poured out abundantly and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Even Art Studio 7.5 was open during the event. I would say that this Oktoberfest played itself out very well, and I would implore you to check out the Moon's next wine-tasting event, lest you be square.
