Iowa Stat(e) Fair -- I went back to the fair yesterday, this time with my mom and roommates. Since it was the last day, it was also half price (score!). I tempted the roommates to come along with free tickets and free beers (and that $4 overflowing bucket o' cookies that we got when we arrived). Worked like a charm.Free beer -- I now know the meaning of "drink tickets" (which brings to mind the book Party Monster by James St. James), thanks to Diamond Jack. We had 25 tickets for either a 20-ounce beer or a frozen beverage, margarita or daquiri. We shared, of course, on the advice to use them to "win friends and influence people".
Free show: Joan Jett -- And the Blackhearts. I really loved the show. Did I mention that it was Joan Jett? And that it was free? I totally felt that she was singing to me and my secret girlfriend, Clover, when she sang Crimson and Clover. I mean, come ON. She was. 'Cause, like, she knows me and stuff.
Right there. She convinced me to get her new album, Sinner. She can turn the world on with her smile, that Joan Jett.
Free cash -- I won $20 to take to Terrible's Casino. I have to use it by the end of the month, but $20 is $20. The roomies won some, too, but not as much as me, because I'm just like that.
I love the state fair. Where else can you see snakes near some trains, a man riding a tiger, and freaking amazing African acrobats?
How was your weekend? Any four-letter words?
