Halfway point of Stampede 2011 folks - time to get that second wind! Yeehaw!

Actually the second half of Stampede should be pretty sweet. I'm forgoing the company event at the Stampede grounds tomorrow to head out of town for the weekend. By the time I get back Sunday, the 2011 Stampede will almost be a distant memory.

What irritates me is that Calgarians only do this for 10 days a year. After Stampede it's just back to business, and the Core dies again.
Personally, I try to enjoy the grounds, but it is incredibly boring unless you're wasted.

Not enough of one, there's room for aggressive expansion of this pastime.
