yeah, I liked my short - and busy - Texan escapade, and true, I too believe Resistol stands for "you can't resist'em: you oughta get one".
Well, the Rodeo was really a great show, lasting almost 3 hours, this being the final of the ProRoeo 2006 Tour Championship, with all the trimmings and fanfare that go with it. The speakers detailed names and features of each rider, just as I was expecting after seeing BBM (at a point I was obviously expecting to listen "and here's Jack Twist, from Lightning Flat, Wyoming...", but this didn't materialize. Rodeo clowns - though no Jimbo - were there saving those who fell down bulls, as well as making silly jokes in between the different ridings, and all those who were there did really a great job of entertaining the public. Nice cowgals performed swift and elegant barrel racings, though I missed a bit Lureen's red hat.
Strangely enough the AA Center, were the rodeo was taking place, was only 2/3 full. Can it be that Texans are less interested in rodeos these days?

Rodeos are mostly a country people thing.  You won't find many metrosexuals or yuppies in Dallas going out of their way to go a rodeo.

With a passion.


--- Quote ---And once the rodeo was over, and prizes distributed, a great country concert performed by Neal McCoy took place: a perfect ending to an almost perfect Texan afternoon... It could only have been better if it was being shared with other fellow Bettermostians.

What a great idea.  A Brokies afternoon at the rodeo.

Never been to Denver, so that sounds like a great idea. Will definitely consider it, Lee! Keep me posted...

Well Lucise, glad you got over to Dallas and attended a rodeo.  I'm not suprised it wasn't a big sellout. So many ppl from Dallas aren't from that part of the country and weren't exposed to ranch culture.  Don't know what there missing.  They'd rather go shoppin at Neiman Marcus.   I heard Houston has  a gigantic rodeo.  Never was intersted in going until I got the BBM "fever."    I think those TX cowboys like their Coca Cola. Everybody likes coffee. It's a "manly" drink in the American Southwest, they gulp it, don't sip it aka Cafe Latte style. 

Did you have to rent a car and drive out to see the rodeo or was it out in a downtown arena?   Did you discuss BBM with any of the patrons at the rodeo?  ;)   It was on CNN.com today, how Dallas is reaching out to gay tourist as they got that disposable income. Sure, I like to shop and go see a museum, but you can do that in any cosmopolitan large city.  Maye they should put in a rodeo as a package deal.  You can't go see a rodeo in Boston or Miami or Milan for that matter. 

Buy yourself a lit TX flag or get yourself a pair of cowboy boots? There also big on belt buckles I suppose.
