Couch your enthusiasm
If the Car Talk Guys, local live music, and the promise of fried dough aren't enough to move your feet to Harvard Square's annual Oktoberfest on Sunday, at least go to see the "World's Longest Sofa." No, really.
The red beaut was designed by by Anders Nørgaard for BoConcept and first assembled for the Aarhus Festival in Denmark. The couch is 213 feet long and has 68 legs. And why would we need such a gargantuan piece of furniture? At 3 p.m., all 30 Honk! marching bands will sit on the sofa on Church Street for a group photo, obviously.
And you thought you'd already seen it all.

Emily Sweeney is a lifelong Bostonian who goes out all over, from Irish pubs in Southie to the roller rink in Dorchester.
Courtney Hollands is a shopaholic and a music junkie with a penchant for tapas, chai, and Hall & Oates dance parties.
June Wulff really really loves musicals (can you say Chita Rivera), Italian food (squisito), and shopping bargains (guess how much I paid for this?).
Mary Ann Georgantopoulos loves everything French and is always down for a mid-week adventure in the city.
Dani Capalbo believes in a dance party as much as a book reading -- she just likes to go out.
So sorry I can't be part of this exciting day in Harvard Square!!
The picture of the bands sitting on that infamous red couch will truly be worth a thousand words. Unfortunately my business precludes me from attending but I will ask the weather Goddess to bring you a perfect day.
A fan of Harvard Square,
