Stampede is Fun

I did quite a lot of Stampeding this week. 6 corporate parties, 2 trips down to the rodeo, enough Stampede breakfasts to make sure I survived, and an afternoon of client cycling.

Downtown Calgary is nutty during Stampede, especially the oilpatch. Out of town money managers and such just shake their heads in disbelief, then promise they'll come again next year.

We even had a party where Tori got painted last night, and the hand massages weren't bad either! (Whipstock at the Velvet Grand).

And what happens when you're tired of dressng cowboy for the week... and tired of roasting in thick Wrangler jeans, long shirts, and boots? Go Floridian. These are the Allan Edmonds shoes I got of eBay for $25... and they're actually from Florida. I bet they pulled them off a retiree who had a heart attack on the golf course.
