Fair fair fair

The fair is coming.  The fair is coming.  THE FAIR IS COMING!  Wheeeee!

It's almost time to break out my State Fair Shirt and wallow gleefully through the streets of fried batter and obesity.  I'm not super excited about this year's new food options, except maybe the Jamaican jerk fries, but I am excited about roasted corn, fried green tomatoes, and being able to enjoy a Surly Furious at the fair for the first time.

I'm allowing myself one beer at the fair this year.  And I'm bringing water bottles again.  Nothing eats up the State Fair budget like beer and lemonade.  We'll see if Lily's interested in any of the rides at the Kidway.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I hope she is not.

I'm also not excited about any of the music.  Usually the Leine stage has some good shows but this year is pretty lackluster.  I'd like to see Steely Dan but I agree with Husband -- this is just not the venue.
