Well, Stampede time is here. For those of you who don't know anything about Stampede, you may think it's all about horses and dirt, but really, it is about drinking, cussing and hopefully some other things! Because things have been so busy, it is catch up time now!
Day One: Parade Day.
A huge parade kicks off the Stampede first thing Friday morning. What it means to those who work downtown (like myself) is that you need to get to your office before 8:00 am, or you ain't going to. I got in early and took a good look outside the staring window (or office window if you prefer). The security in the building had a Stampede breakfast going, so everyone in the office went down and had some grub and watched the parade. After the half-way point, I went back to the office to work some things, and watch the parade from the window. Very cool little parade.
Then came the night. Being how this was the first in a 10 day run, a buddy who is in town working over Stampede, decided it would better to go out for a nice meal instead of going out and getting trashed. Good Idea. A wonderful meal - nice drive and ended my day by driving up McLeod Trail and watching the fireworks at the closing of the first night.
Not a drunken night, but a nice one. The drunken stuff was to follow!
