Stampede Log: Good morning my little chickadees!

Why am I so happy when my clock clearly indicates the time being 4:19 a.m.? Because my friends - I had a solid 3 hours of sleep. I'm riled up and ready to go. An early morning breakfast for a few of thousand of our friends is ready to go (hopefully...) and I am on my way to the grounds.

As Starbucks isn't open, I would be thrilled with someone bringing me my coffee beverage. Yah or I'll just stand in line at the uber cheap Weadickville slurpee machine and hope for that to keep me going today. I'll be Stampeding it up until 9 p.m. tonite... jealous anyone?

Things to do today (in general, not necessarily just me):

• Find a cowboy to rope up
• Take a picture of the beef sundae or deep fried oreo
• Have yet another waffle cone filled with cookies n'cream ice cream
• Be on the constant lookout for someone who is wearing a belt buckle which rivals mine.
• Attempt to understand why and how the rodeo is a sport

And....

• Thank the makers of 'moleskin' for creating such a delightful product for my poor feet.

Now if someone can explain to my why at 4:27 a.m. people are still yelling 'Ya-Hoo!' on 17th, that would be fantastic.
