Just had a fight about this with somebody yesterday. He said he was going to the last weekend of Oktoberfest on this coming Saturday and I pointed out that it wasn't Oktoberfest if it isn't October yet, being that "Oktoberfest" literally means party IN October. He got all indignant yelling about the weather concerns, turnout issues, need to avoid scheduling conflicts bla bla bla. But he couldn't argue with my main point: if it ain't fucking October, it ain't fucking Oktoberfest.
