I am probably the furthest from a country & western fan, but I really enjoy Stampede. Why:

- Friday morning off to watch a parade.
- Able to take 60-90 minute breaks in the morning to find free pancakes.
- Stampede parties that have free food and booze; and if it's a vendor we are encouraged to attend.
- Basically the fact that the entire city takes the time and effort to turn this into a week long party.

Part of that is dressing western. If most people didn't, then the hot girls also wouldn't, so I will take the bad with the good.

I look forward to seeing your thread in December about why you also hate Christmas.
