Nightlife Agenda Pick of the Week

We understand why Germans love Oktoberfest: Endless giant mugs of beer, piles of bratwurst, drunken singing. We don't understand the country's love affair with David Hasselhoff, though, especially after seeing poorly dubbed episodes of "Baywatch" and hearing the Hoff's sketchy (and slightly predatory) single "Jump in My Car," in which the former Michael Knight tries to lure ladies into his sports car despite their protestations, and then kicks them to the curb when he finds out where they live. (The video, which features the Hoff sending up his "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" characters, redeems the song somewhat.) Anyway, back to Oktoberfest and the Hoff. On Tuesday the 16th, Rustico is bringing back its Don't Hassel the Hof Brau party, which honors Munich's famous Hofbrau Oktoberfest beer as well as David Hasselhoff and Halloween. The restaurant will give away cool Hofbrau mugs with every beer purchased, and guests are encouraged to come in costume. We. Can't. Wait.

This is just one of the events featured in this week's Nightlife Agenda column, along with a live mambo band, trance DJs, MSTRKRFT and picks for the DAM! Festival.
