Well folks, that was a rodeo, and it was also quite gay.  I had a great time, and there was lots of manwatching to be had.  TONS of manwatching.  Yummy.

The rodeo was at the Travis County Expo Center, which is a fair ways outside of town.  Directions are as follows: go east of the freeway until you think you have gone too far.  When you smell shit, you are in front of the sewage treatment (I'm sorry... "wastewater").  Keep driving.  There's a gay rodeo to be had.  When you pass the prison (where you go when you caught doing shit) keep going.  You will soon turn and pass an upscale subdivision (where the shit don't stink) and when you can see the chemical plant, turn into the arena.  The shit you now smell is eau de rodeo and will haunt you all day.

As I mentioned before, I was actually a volunteer for the rodeo.  I served as a security person.  I thought maybe I'd get to watch like... the front door, or the bathroom (wee!) or something... NOPE!  I got sent to the contestant's area.

You would think that this would be kinda cool... a backstage pass sort of thing.  And it was... kinda.  I got to see all the hot cowboys ride horses, and my view of the arena was pretty good.  BUT... there was HORSESHIT back there.  Lots of it.  And dust.  My contacts don't like dust.  Life is like that, though, I guess.

All and all, I only spent about two hours on security detail, and it wasn't bad at all.  I got to see parts of the rodeo I normally wouldn't have, and did I mention the man watching?

I have more to say about this, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.  Happy Monday, all!

You totally have to mention the BUST you initiated. I'm calling you Detective Friday from now on.

Wow! Great new design! And hey looky, I can actually leave comments without joining the Cult of Xanga ( I always hated that about them). You're a scream, Tim. I love your style!

I *LOVE* the layout. Lounge things own me. Great site! :)
