I carry a bit of German blood in me and have been to Germany twice, BUT I’ve never been to a German-American festival. We’ve heard nothing but good things about the festival in Oregon and that raccoon mascot/logo is so damn nice… we grabbed our designated-driver/lawyer and drove over the river. The cornfield on both sides of the drive to the parking lot was a little ominous. We ran into M. almost immediately, and of ...

By Andrew Liszewski As ThinkGeek points out, you technically can’t refer to these flying discs as ‘UFOs’ because they’re not ‘unidentified.’ But since IFOs doesn’t have the same ring to it, I’m going to cut them some slack, particularly since the Summer is soon drawing to a close, and these look like an entertaining way to spend an evening while the weather’s still nice. The Glow And Throw kit comes with a 9.25 inch flying ...

A wall-hanging plant holder makes growing plants in your cramped apartment a realistic endeavor, but there's a catch. As is, the plant wall retails for a steep $250—which is why this one's labeled as a weekend project. From the little schematic included on the image from the web site (above), a fearless DIYer could tackle this one for a fraction of the asking price. Whatever you choose, this wall-hanging plant holder could be perfect for ...

Kevin Van decided that he wanted to build himself an outdoor theater (he had already built one in his bedroom and another in his basement), however, he went a little further than the inflatable Walmart screen and he built much of it himself. He also added a sweet nostalgic twist to the whole project, of which many are certain to approve. He restored some vintage drive-in speakers and added concession stands to his theater space. ...

Cleaning your BBQ grill can be a giant pain in the patoot, and while we've posted about cleaning your grill in the oven here at Lifehacker, what if you're pressed for time and need to clean it fast? Enter the magic of aluminum foil. Simply ball up some aluminum foil and use it to "scrub" the surface of the grill. It gets right in there, easily scraping off any bits and pieces you (and your ...
