[QUOTE=username;3780042][QUOTE=Daradon;3779443]I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with what I've been reading and hearing about the Stampede this year. They were building up the centennial so much and I don't see a lot of differences or extras. Besides two old people concerts in Garth Brooks and Beach Boys, where's all the added goodies? Where's the big names and big events?

Funny you should say that. I know someone who works there in the marketing dept and they were complaining because their mandate was to push the whole 100 year celebration deal however they had nothing to use to build it up.

Heh yeah, don't get me wrong. I love the Stampede and I think it's very important for the city. I'm just really disappointed with the whole 100 year anniversary plans. It's really no different than the usual years.
For me it's always more about the city and people. I like the added bustle, I like the party goers and even the tourists. I like the added street performers and the general vibe downtown. I like the business parties and casual work days. I like the flapjack breakfasts and the BBQ lunches. I like that you have many excuses to be drunk by noon, hah! I haven't been to the actual grounds in 4 years or so, though I think I'll check them out again this year.
