IT'S ROCKTOBERFEST TIME !!!

What better way is there to celebrate the Oktoberfest holiday with not only a little (or a lot) of beer but also some live music?

That’s exactly what The Casbah owner, Tim Mays, and the man behind West Coast Tavern, David Cohen, were thinking when they created San Diego’s “Rocktoberfest” – the perfect marriage of booze and rock.

The event taking place October 23^rd will host 8 bands on two stages and expects between 2000-3000 attendees celebrating with beers in hand. The lineup includes top local bands such as The Silent Comedy, Get Back Loretta, and Midnight Rivals.

To see the whole Rocktoberfest line up check out their website at www.sdrocktoberfst.com Also, to chat with David Cohen about his plans for the event and what can be expected just shoot me an email. Tickets to the event can also be arranged. I look forward to hearing from you!

Story Outline:

Faber College has one frat house so disreputable it will take anyone. It has a second one full of white, anglo-saxon, rich young men who are so sanctimonious no one can stand them except Dean Wormer. The dean enlists the help of the second frat to get the boys of Delta House off campus. This film gives high-jinks and fooling around a bad name. P The dean's plan comes into play just before the homecoming parade to end all parades for all time.
