Durham's Guglhupf Cafe is hosting an Oktoberfest with a twist: a live performance by the German rock band, Die Nierentische.
The event will be from 4-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, on the cafe's outdoor patio. The band will play two sets: one at 4:30 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m. They perform rock hits from the 1940s and 1950s in German.
The cafe will be cooking up German street food: bratwurst, weisswurst, thuringer (smoked sausage) and pork ribs, plus potato salad, pickled red cabbage and sauerkraut, plus for dessert: Berliner doughnuts, apple fritters, apple and cherry strudel.
(It's enough to make this German girl go weak in the knees.)
Plus lots of German beer: Franziskaner Weissebier, Spaten Oktoberfest, Spaten Doppelbock and Gaffel Koelsch and Marzen from N.C.'s Duck Rabbit brewery.

If that doesn't convince you that this is a must attend event, nothing will.
