Hey Hey
The Stampede is now all finnished. It was a full on ten days and heaps of fun. I was working at a bar in the grandstand where they have the rodeo and the Chuck wagon races so it was always busy with heaps of people drinking and having a good time. I meet some great people and had a wicked time. It's hard to describe the Stampede it was masive, just think of American movies with country fair's in them and then times it by ten.....MASSIVE. All the days have kind of merged in to a hazzy blur of working, drinking, dancing, singing, eating and a bit of sleeping. My favourite night out was at Nashville North with Kate and dancing to country songs. Other highlights where going to my first proper gay bar, winning $80 at the casino, working with a lovely girl called Rina, seeing the super dog show (V. funny) and just hanging out and having a good time.
take care and have fun
Jo

They say there are about one million people coming through the park. No wonder it's so big. Calgary city is in the back ground.
