Hi friends…

Tonight (Friday), Zach will be hosting the fun at Hofrauhaus as the Octoberfest celebrations continue.  Zach will be there to welcome you between 5 and 7 p.m. and then it’s the tapping of the keg!

Birthdays:  Steve Miller is 69; Karen Allen (Indiana Jones flicks) is 61; Kate Winslet (Titanic, Contagion) is 37; Jesse Eisenberg (Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network) is 29.


NASA's Mars rover Curiosity will coop up its first batch of Martian soil samples this weekend. Curiosity arrived at a sandy patch called "Rocknest" on Wednesday. Mission scientists have called it a good spot for the robot's maiden scooping activities, which should begin Saturday, if all goes according to plan.


New movies in theaters: Frankenweenie (PG); Taken 2 (PG-13); Pitch Perfect (PG-13, wide release).

Have a great weekend!
