I found, though, that once you accept that you're going to be a sweaty mess and you stop saying out loud that it's hot, you forget about it. It wasn't air conditioned, so the mass of humanity coupled with the daytime temps in the 80s, the lights, and the booze made the tent really hot. The tent had a stage, lighting and benches set up in front of the stage and tables on the sides. We stood in line to get beer tickets, then stood in line to get food, then stood in line to get beer (do you sense a theme?), then finally made it to The Big Tent where the bands were playing and my friends had secured bench space (they'd long since finished with the ferris wheel by the time we got our food). We didn't manage to hit any of the rides, and we didn't come prepared with goofy hats, as many attendees did, but we did our best to jump into the swing of things quickly. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the two facts are related. Wow, what a good time I had! When we got there, my friends had already been there for a couple of hours - so several pitchers had expired and my friends were unusually pumped about the ride on the ferris wheel they were lined up for. I shall think about all things Rose-y after that! I don't believe in countin' yo chickens.ĭue to the lack of suspense or emotional involvement in the game (I don't even know what a Jayhawk is), the real fun came at Wurstfest! The Aggies would love to spoil our season, and we need to take them to the woodshed. We clinched the Big 12 South with that victory, but we've got to stay focused for at least one more game this month. Das right - step back: the Horns are in the House. Please note that going into that game, Kansas had the nation's #1 rushing defense and was #1 in the Big 12 in total defense. Final was 66-14 (we took Vince Young out early in the 3rd quarter). Normally, a UT football game or a visit to a festival would each be an entire day's event, but Saturday, I did the unprecedented and went to the UT game in the afternoon, then followed up with an evening at Wurstfest. The big day for me this weekend was Saturday. When I've developed a Dave Barry-like following, I'll lose sleep over such lapses! I'm a few days behind on posts - it was a busy 3-day weekend for me (I had Friday off work for Veterans Day), and I didn't make it online.
