The Old Hometown Fair........less than a week countdown!

As we slowly make the transition into Autumn and real beautiful things start to happen(although we dont have any arboral alterations, we make up for it with annual inibrieated social gatherings) like the Halloween, massive orgy's(halloween parties), Thanksgiving, and what we have coming up first on the list: The Old Hometown Fair!

For as long as i can remember, every first weekend in October i have gone to the Hometown Fair. But just recently i figured out what the hype about the H.F.(as i shall call it from hereon) is really about. It's not about going and looking at peoples fair-quality trinkets, or even getting a ride on the egyptian elephant. It's about people re-visiting their hometown from where ever they might have moved to, to get excessivly drunk and say its for "the GOOD ole' days"! It's about going strictly to get that Pepper-Belly that you could've easily made all year, but you waited, because you now it wouldn't have tasted half as good. It's about being 35 years old and still trying to win goldfish as reminder that "you're not THat old"!!!

Just thinking about the H.F. makes my mouth water for a funnel cake/Pepper-Belly combo. Only 4 days til my wallet is swallowed by every food booth and even more so to the infamous Jardin de cerveza!!! My first legal year to go in the Beer Garden is in 4 days and i think it might be more excited than my 21st B-day.

viva la H.F.
