LA Rodeo 2008

Gemini Cricket · 06-21-2008, 06:21 PM

Wow.

That's pretty much all I have to say at the moment.

I went to my very first gay rodeo today and I absolutely loved it. Brad visited Mecca, y'all.

The LA Rodeo is today and tomorrow with assorted parties thrown here and there.

Just the idea that all these men were gay and hot and cowboys made my heart absolutely swell.

Yes, it was 10,000 degrees F in Thousand Oaks. Yes, I got a really funky farmer's tan from sitting in the sun for six hours. Yes, I came home cowboyless. Yes, some of these boys shouldn't have opened their mouths (looking like Montgomery Clift on the outside and sounding like Charles Nelson Riley when they talked...)

Yes, I shouldn't have been there being completely and totally broke right now. But I had a great time. Next year it should be some sort of LoT swanking.

There was one intense moment when during one of the events, a cowboy's saddle broke and he fell under his horse. But luckily, he wasn't trampled. But a part of the saddle was still on the horse and it made the horse furious. He ran kicking across the field and then he crashed into one of the fences. He was then loose in the horse trail area behind the event. Pretty scary. But the rider and horse were all checked by first aid (human and horse) and they were fine.

There was this one cowboy there that just made me melt. Hot. From Sacramento or something, thin drink of water. But man, he was a blessing to see in tight jeans.

I wish I had my camera, but for the life of me I can't find mine. It's somewhere around here...

Next year, I'm totally going to volunteer or something.

Color me happy, y'all.

It's not a gay rodeo, but Maddy's got connections to the Poway rodeo here in September. I'm trying to convince her to do barrel racing. She's done the national anthem three times but she doesn't want to do it this year.

Aren't all rodeos gay?

Hahahah, I didn't know it was in Thousand Oaks! When I got your text, I had just come from T.O., where my thermometer told me it was 113 degrees at high noon!! (It was a balmy 103 at my destination in Alhambra).

Now I'm not particularly into cowboys ... but even I find the idea of a gay rodeo really hot. But, alas, too hot for me to have spent another minute in Thousand Oaks today. Eeee Gads.

I'll go to the Poway rodeo!

110 - Thus you all know how my day went. It's still F**ing hot here in T.O.

Dear All,

I hope you are remembering to drink plenty of water - 110 fvcking degrees ! Just stuff a turkey under the car hood with a tray of green bean casserole and you can prepare dinner while you drive...

So now who's thinking of Yosemite next April???

You can always make yourself warmer, but there are only so many clothes yah can strip off...

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

I can't wait until next year.

Do they have to have it in June? I'd like to go, too. But not if it's 113 degrees. Pffft, the event would make me hot enough, thank you.
