Aside from that, it's cool. Of course, I won't be wasting $15 to head down the grounds this year. Since I also don't drink, I won't be partaking in any pub crawls, or heading down to Cowboys and getting wasted. It's nice seeing everyone having fun during these 10 days, and really getting into the whole Stampede thing.

Everyone? I can't think of a single longtime Calgarian who gets into the Stampede thing. Sure might hit up a breakfast, will visit the grounds once on a free day and maybe do another Stampede event but most of the days I pay no attention to it whatsoever. I enjoy my limited exposure but it's old hat and the only people I know who really get into it are those who haven't been here long. Maybe if I worked downtown I'd do more but it's the same old same old every year.
