Fair Bus Derby 06
Category: photos
So I went to the fair again. With the rain I took things inside and did walk through the rain. I never did get a fried dough but I did get to see some animals and take pictures that you can see down below. I did put up a lot of pictures but these aren't the only ones I took. I think I would have just stayed home If I wasn't going to the derby. One thing that was to bad about the rain was that the parade was Cancelled that meant I didn't get to see all the Clydesdales but I did get pictures of some of them and the Donkey from the Bud adds. I also saw other horses also. You may notice the Elvis Hot Sauce that was to good not to take a picture. The place setting where in the creative arts building. The carved out tree was preaty cool to, not sure if the pictures do it justice or not. hope you all enjoy the pictures.

That is a praying mantis on the seat at the bus Derby. It did wind up crawling up me. The odd thing is you or at least I couldn't feal it. Not sure really how many and what pictures to put up once the derby starts hopefull I put up enough to give a general sense of it with out them being to many and boaring. I don't think the carnage and damage really shows up in pictures and of course there is no crashing sound. Yes granted maybe I should have put this up a few pictures earlier but now is good enough. I saw the Fix the Logo bus from a far and thought thats awesome. I think my favorite was the #16 Sabres Bus, yeah it dosn't really say his name on it nor did he drive it but it is great looking.

On thing I maybe should have explained is that the buses goes in heats. The last two buses running in each heat advance to the finals. There is a last chance heat for all the buses who didn't make it but can still move. All in all it is preaty fun to watch.
#23 won in the end, they also had a best in show at the begining that the fans voted on but not sure who won that I think it was the #16 bus.

Frantic
I Admit I havn't had really anything journal worthy to say. I did change my Journal Music to Frantic By Metallica. There are a few concerts I do want to go to but I forget when they are. Hope it is nice Saturday for the Bus Derby at the fair. There will most likely be some pics of it going up sometime on sunday. It is odd that I have more to say in comments than in actually journals. On TV thing I belive on Monday Prision Break starts up again.

Ditto on SG1, although I find Atlantis a little hokey. My parents got me addicted to NCIS (the forensics girl is so hot!) and that's now my favorite show of the week (when the next season starts up again).

I think you may find this funny I saw Stargate the movie and thought it was awesome. But I think I have only seen one episode of Stargate sg-1 .
jason - 08/17/06 09:52
Also if you are a Sci Fi dork like myself you will enjoy Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG1.

Paris Hilton
Category: music
I will admit I did hear what ever her song is on the radio. This is going to sound weird but it wasn't that bad. It might have been on Wild 101 or maybe Kiss 98.5 not sure. I will admit it isn't my type of music but it soundend like you typical KISS pop song not really any better or worse. Then I was fliping chanels and saw a little bit on her I would say on mtv and belive it or not she wrote her own songs, I almost shit my self no body in pop music writes there own songs anymore, well she at least wrote one of them not sure if she wrote all of them. I guess there is another Simple Life reality show on some station also. I opened up playboy and saw Her, no wait it isn't really her it is the "fake" Paris Hilton who looks just like her. Yeah I admit I have a copy of her DVD a night in paris. It is ok but not graffic enoungh it is kinda hard to get those graffic shots as you film your self. Why am I writing about Paris when I think Nicole Ritchie is hotter I have no idea, plus she seems more down to earth. Maybe it has something to do with someone saying something saying people are using dogs as an accesory.

The Fair pictures
Category: photos
Below are a bunch (not all of the pictures I took) of pictures from the fair. I had a good time there is a lot to see, it all depends on what you are interested in. They have this new little santas village that was kinda interesting. As I was walking along I heard this little kid going nuts. He couldn't understand how Santa was here and how far ahead or behind he was. The kid was thinking about it so rationaly and really getting up set. That brings me to my next point as I was walking later on Santa went by on his sled being pulled by raindear wish I could have snaped a picture of that it would have been cool then on the other side of me someone was walking a cow I'm verry glad I didn't get smooched. My next thought as I was walking is what happens if your cow decides not to walk. What if it just decides to be stuborn you can't drag it along like you can with a dog.

I really enjoyed the Peeking Acrobats, they always give a great show. I also enjoyed all the kings horses. The pictures really don't do it justice. Some of the horses walk back wards, in circles, backwards and to the side and can bow. I liked it but a lot of people didn't stay for the entire show. You can't tell it the picture of the minuture but some of the rides move. There where a lot of pieces laid out on other tables that is one of those things you have to see in person. They had some cool things being sold by vendors also. I bought this cool dolphin picture where the dolphin is raised. I'm not really a ride person but they seem to have a lot of them.

great pics MP! that first owl pic after the hawk is super freaky.
metalpeter - 08/13/06 16:33
Not sure if my info is correct but some people near me during the "All The Kings Horses" show said that tuesday they are having a jousting tournament , I belive it is in the grandstand. You may want to look into that it sounds like it could be preaty cool. In any event I hope you have a great time on tuesday. I'm going again on saturday for the Bus Derby.
vincent - 08/13/06 16:09
It looks like a Fun time. I can't wait until I go on Tuesday.
metalpeter - 08/13/06 12:23
P.S. I forgot a couple things. I liked the birds of pray that was preaty interesting also. The carosel that I took a picture of is preaty cool. Those are steps that lead up to a second level and there are benchs you can sit on. I'm not really a fan of spam but I had to take a picture of the Monty Phython poster and bottle in the front of the bus.
mrmike - 08/13/06 12:21
Saw the best of the fair without the $8 admission charge. Thanks

going to fair updated
Well the plan for sat. Is to go down to tops and get my money back from the Seether Concert that got canceled. Then get a ticket for the fair head downtown and find catch that bus out there. I also want to get a ticket for the Bus Demoliton Derby event it was fun last year. If i see the muchcin from Oz maybe I can buy something and have him sign it. My only real plan is to try and have fun. I'm tempted to bring a back pack if I can find one so if I want I can buy stuff. I do know I want to see the Peeking acrobats they are preaty entertaining to watch.

Here now watching the bills surfing on the time warner booth for a few minutes. Having fun saw some really cool stuff. hopefully pictures on sunday.
