H-Town

I'm sitting in a hotel in Houston, watching the rain come down. This is the third year that we've come to the Go Texas bar b q. It's kind of the kick off to the stock show and rodeo, and can be better described as a drunk fest. The first cookoffs I ever went to had around 20 to 30 teams, everyone had a good time, but it wasn't all that exciting. This place though, is amazing. There are probably around 300 teams, and they do it right. Most of the teams have tents, and elaborate set ups with bands or other forms of entertainment. It's three nights of beer, bar b q, live music, and head on a swivel action.

The hotel that we are staying in has a shuttle that runs to and from the bar b q, so that makes it easy for us to get back and forth and cuts down on the drinking and driving. Last night was an interesting ride. There were about 10 of us that know each other pretty well on the bus, plus about maybe 15 others all staying in the same place. Well we decided it was going to be karaoke time, and proceeded to sing the wheels on the bus go round and round. Only some people were making up their own verses, and using their own hand gestures. It's probably not as funny to read, but being there was hilarious. I think I turned a few shades of red with some of the things that were said. The icing on the cake though, was the gaseous explosion that happened right when we were getting off the bus. Not me of course, I've got manners, but lets just say that the bus cleared out in record time. Potty humor, it's such a gross thing, but it's so funny to so many people!

Well, like I said, just sitting here, waiting for a break in the storm, and then we're gonna go out and do it again. The world's population will hit 6.5 Billion tonight, it seems as though about half of them are in Houston this weekend. I don't like big crowds, but when everyone is having a good time, that makes it worth it. Well I'm out, have a good one.
