So I’m at Bockfest waiting on my friends to turn up and there’s really not much to do besides enjoy one of 6 types of Bock Beer while I wait. So by the time they got there I was pretty drunk already. Which was awesome.

I was in the bar where the parade starts looking at the giant goat/keg float outside the window and chatting with people when the subject of twitter came up and I told this girl how cool it was that I could follow the #bockfest tweets and get reports from everyone everywhere.

I pulled it up on my phone to show her and the first tweet said “The goat has left”, and I looked out the window to realize that the parade was gone and we’d totally missed it.

It wasn’t as disturbing to me that we’d missed the parade going on right there as it was that I’d read it on twitter sooner than I noticed it by looking out the window.
