my 2007 rodeo experience

the houston livestock show and rodeo is one of the biggest rodeo events in the world. As a kid, we raised dairy goats and showed animals every year--i took home a grand champion one year. But, there is no auction, you just get a trophy and go home.

anyway, i usually end up going to a show/concert every year--i saw sheryl crow this year. she said she, "loves houston, loves the rodeo, and is looking for a cowboy" and added, "i haven't given up on texas yet." i thought that was funny.

after the show, we went dancing on the floor of the astrodome--THE FLOOR OF THE ASTRODOME! it seemed so small. i remembered the astros' games, the houston hurricanes, previous rodeos, destruction derbies, motocross and even when i volunteered for katrina victims, but that night--it seemed small. It is cool that they set it up as a "night club" for after the rodeo--don't think many people get to experience such a thing in other cities or other big domes
