Do the Puyallup!

Well last Friday me and Jason hit up the Fair of All Fairs in Puyallup I wanted to get there really early but figured bah why? It was Friday and not many of the young kids would be around to cause crowds and annoy us. I hate when you are walking and you get stuck behind a lady with a stroller cause the kids are all loud and they want to stop every two minutes. Anyways.

So we get there about 1pm or so. We had to make to many stops before we got on the road. Sprint store is kinda being a pain right now. Anyways we get there and parking at the fair parking lot was $7 I was thinking $7 + $10 what a waste we found a parking spot about .25 of a mile away and it was $5 so we did that.

We get into the fair and the first thing we see is a booth with free Vitamin Water. Score! We were walking around trying to see what there is to do and there was a show starting called Billy and the Hillbillies and I can't figure out why Jason wanted to see this. A bunch of annoying guys singing songs and twangy it was country with a little extra I guess. I didn't really dig it and wanted to leave by the 4th song but we were trapped by old people who wanted to watch this show. So we snuck out just by going.

After that went to go see my Dad cause he works at the fair every year and this was the first time I have been since I was a sophomore or Junior in HS and he hooked me up with a free Diet Coke. This was Jason's first time to the fair so after the Diet Coke experience figured it was time to raise my cholesterol a few thousand points and had to get my favorite thing at the fair an elephant ear. It's a giant piece of dough deep fried and then they add Cinnamon and Sugar and it's just damn good. $5 was a bit pricy for dough but eh they are awesome.

Our next stop was to check out this guy named Steve Trash who does magic with items he has found and it's kinda David Blaine Style No floating though then we thought we should go check out some rides. Rides were crazy I remember they used to be like 3 tickets for any ride and 5 for the big ones. But every ride was 5 or 6 tickets and each ticket was $1 each. I couldn't justify that $20 for maybe 12 minutes total of entertainment. I can pay $6.50 and get two hours at the movie. So we avoided the rides. I wanted to do that slingshot ride for two riders it was $50 and I was up for dropping $25 on that but Jason wasn't so we didn't do that.

We got to check out the sites and we got to see Hypnotist Travis Fox he has been at the fair every year I have been there and he does a great show with his victims. I almost fell victim the second performance of the day I nodded off while he was doing his thing to everybody but I got out if at the last second. I have been sleeping really well ever since.

After his first show me and Jason were hungry so we stopped at Earthquake and got a 1lb Burger with 1/2lb of Grilled Onions and I love grilled onions and this burger was like $9 but been so long since I have had it and it was just damn good. Then we checked out the photo and art gallery. I remember as a little boy going in there just to see if they had any girls naked. These were always in black and white . This year there was none. lol

So we walked around the fair and I saw 4H dogs and was thinking have to check this out see if any bassets are around. Didn't see any but I couldn't help but think this would be something Kacey would dig. Jason nodded in agreement and we got out of there ASAP.

Hoobastank was there they had a free concert. I can't say I am a large Hoobastank Fan but the price was right and got to see all the high and junior high kids try to show their support. Watching people dive off stage was funny and one girl ran up and was jumping around the guitarist and then she ran into the crowd with a Dive.

One note about the fair. I don't really dig tattoos on females but they can be used as a rule of thumb of knowing who is over 18 and not jailbait. But this doesn't apply to the fair. You see all these fake tattoo places around and girls are getting these and it just distorts the age. And me and Jason were feeling like petaphiles all day long. As we decided not a good place to meet girls at the fair. Better to bring a date with you. =p

After this we left and went to Justin's going away party and then went home to crash.
