I went to the Houston Rodeo Carnival and Cookoff

Went to the Rodeo Saturday night.? Overall I had fun.? It didn’t start that way though.? We drove what felt like an hour going about 2 mph in circles to get to a parking lot that felt like it was in another zip code.? I took my DSLR (camera) hoping to take some awesome shots filled with smiling faces and carnival lights only to find that I forget my battery.? Fail.

So this means I get to carry my not-so-light DSLR around the whole park partly because I refuse to do an Oregan Trail all the way back to the parking lot.? Not to mention the $7 bucks to just get into the Carnival.

I was grumpy to say the least, but we got into what I would call the best tent in the place and ate awesome BBQ.? I wasn’t in the mood for spirits (of any sorts) so my friends drank and I just enjoyed the drunk-people watching and music.? Oh yeah, they played country.? Epic Fail.

It was the Rodeo and country music was expected but I think I was trying to ignore the details went I agreed to go.? The time with friends and the carnival games blurred my sour disposition and I was just happy in general by the end of the night.

Watching cowboys get down to profanity-filled hip-hop will put a smile on anyone’s face.? The “Patron Girls” did not hurt either.
