Cap City Oktoberfest Opportunity

Volunteer Information and Registration
11th Annual Mid-Atlantic Oktoberfest
Saturday, October 2, 2010

The Village at Shirlington, Arlington, VA

Registration Form

Capitol City Brewing Company is gearing up for the 11th Annual Mid-Atlantic Oktoberfest. The event will be held on Saturday from noon-7pm (taps shut off at 6pm) in the Village at Shirlington. Over 30 breweries will be present, along with a variety of food vendors and authentic German music and entertainment. All volunteers will get a tasting glass, 10 beer sample tickets, and a t-shirt. Each volunteer will work a 3-1/2 hour shift pouring tasty malt beverages (Two shifts: 11:30am-3pm or 2:30-6pm). 

All positions will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are volunteering with family or friends and would like to request the same shift, please indicate this on the registration form by providing their names or pick a Team name. All members of the group should sign up online early/together as I cannot reserve spots. You will be notified in mid-September with your final assignment. New this year, we also have a few positions on our Keg Krewe. The job does not involve pouring beer but instead you're part of the team that keeps it flowing.

Note: All volunteers must be at least 21 years old.

If you would like more information regarding the event, please visit the Capitol City Brewing Company Shirlington website at http://www.capcitybrew.com/oktoberfest10.php

#4 Busboys and Poets: Top 10 Incredible Edibles - Your Destination Guide to Washington DC

If Kramerbooks is a little too mainstream--or crowded--Busboys and Poets boasts a similar concept but different execution. Located on the still-developing U-Street corridor, Busboys and Poets is a socially-conscious bookstore/cafe serving up locally grown food and a helping of social awareness. Because the shop is located a little off the beaten path, the food offerings are both excellent and incredibly affordable. Sunday brunch is worth the metro trip--which, depending on your taste, can actually be more expensive that the meal. The selection of books is a little more narrow in scope, focusing on popular issues and social movements. The store also offers poetry readings and happy hours, so most shoppers will find a reason to visit for more than just a new book.
