Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy

Just getting a quick post up before we leave for the weekend. Headed up to Edmonton to visit a relative who is visiting from BC. Good times.Last night on a whim, K invited me to go to The Philosopher Kings concert at The Stampede.
Since K has never been to Stampede, and it's been a good five years since I've gone either, I said of course! Jack didn't have any objections either, so I got ready and headed into the city to pick up K.
We parked at a lot somewhere and took transit to the Stampede grounds (there was no way I was going to try and find parking there). I haven't ridden the C-Train in ages, so that was a sort of fun and novel part of the evening as well.
We paid our admission and started wandering in the general direction of the stage. I was bouncy and silly, I felt like a little kid, it was fantastic. K just shook his head and laughed at me. He grabbed a slice of pizza since he hadn't had supper, and I yammered on about the Stampede and this and that and the other thing.

After we found the stage we got popcorn and those mini donuts (I know, my diet is suffering, but it was a special occasion) and found a suitable patch of grass on which to stand. We people watched and chatted. The popcorn tasted awful by the way, but the donuts were worth the extra calories :P
Then the band came on!
My camera was being a bitch so I only got one good picture :(

We held hands and cuddled and watched the show. It was terrific! They played my favorite song of theirs (You Don't Love Me Like You Used To Do) and K's favorite song of theirs (Hurts To Love You). Very cool!
The only low point was that a very good friend of Jack and I, who is also NOT poly-friendly, was also at the Stampede that evening. We didn't see him at all, but just knowing he was there and might see us put a bit of a damper on things.
After the concert we headed back down the midway. We also got some of those caramel candy apples (I know! But the apple was healthy, right?) and K had to stop and check out the Playstation Trailer (nothing exciting happening there). There were fireworks going so we stopped to watch those for a while.

K wanted to play one of the games on the midway (it involved guns, what more can you want?):

He didn't win that time, but he is determined to get me a stuffed animal before the Stampede is over.

We checked out some of the rides but we're going to save that for another day. I am hoping that Jack, K, and I will all have a chance to go to Stampede one of the days it's on. I really, really, really wanna go to the Our Lady Peace concert there on the 14th. Jack gets motion sickness, and since I LOVE going on the rides, K has kindly agreed to go on them with me so I don't have to sit alone on them, thus looking like I have no friends :P

I grabbed a coffee on the way out and we took transit back to where we parked. Then we ended up in the back of my van (since the seats are out) for some quick fun before I had to drive him home. That was soooooo naughty. The parking lot was mostly empty, but you could still here the odd group of people walk by. We did not have sex, but there was plenty of groping and kissing and fondling.
It was getting pretty late so I thanked him for inviting me out and dropped him off at his house before heading home. It was such a great night, I had so much fun. I am looking forward to going to Stampede again this year, hopefully to take in the OLP concert :)
