If you have a product or service that you think would be useful to our readers, place an ad. Not only will you get some of the coolest people on the planet viewing your ad, but our rates are cheap. Seriously, I've had beers more expensive than our weekly ad rate.

You've heard of Oktoberfest but how about Bergkirchweih, also called Berg? I hadn't either.

For 12 days every spring, the inhabitants of Erlangen, a university town near Nuremberg, forget their daily routines and devote themselves to the serious business of drinking beer - and lots of it.

The Berg, as it is commonly called, has been held every year since 1755 and is Germany's second-largest beer-fest after Oktoberfest, its more famous Munich counterpart. Although the Berg typically attracts more than a million visitors, far fewer foreign tourists come to the Erlangen festival than to the Munich event, which means there is much more here in the way of local ambiance. This year's Berg takes place June 1-12, but when the festival finishes, the beer cellars and rides remain open all summer.

What else could possibly happen when you put a cooler on a go cart? If you want one of these, be prepared to pony up two Clevelands (or ten Franklins if out-of-circulation currency isn't your thing).
