Yee Haw!!

Is this sweet or what? Earlier I posted about going to Florida to watch the Boston Red Sox at spring training. When I was looking for that stuff I came across some tickets to the Pro Bull Riders Finals at the National Finals Rodeo is Las Vegas! Yeah, man, that would be a fun time in Las Vegas! The 2006 event at the Thomas & Mack Center just wrapped up this past weekend and I do not know when the 2007 event is specifically but it is probably around the same time. Sure, all eyes are primarily on the bull riding at a PBR shindig, but there is so much more! There is a beauty pageant, a Christmas Market, livestock auctions, and a hoedown. Who doesn’t love a hoedown!

Could it be in a better city? My word, if you get tired of all the PBR action at the rodeo then head for the Strip. The people watching cannot be beat. Lots of interesting characters that I bet have some great stories to tell. Tommye and her mom are going to Las Vegas this weekend to go see Barry Manilow. In 2007 the rodeo folks should book Barry for a performance. When you think of Barry Manilow you naturally think of manly men riding 2-ton bulls and washing their faces with dirt.
