To all my Texas friends...

Okay, I'm back in your fine state. Been in meetings all day. So much that my brain hurts.

The plan for tonight is the same Cowtown Rodeo that I went to a year ago. You might recall that I posted a story about it complaining about how the animals were treated and all that.

Well, I'm not going to do that again. It is what it is, but just remember Imma Northern girl.

Anyway, the issue right now is do I even go?? I skipped the shuttle down there so if I do go it will be by Uber. That's no big deal, but my social battery is seriously negative right now. I need to recharge.

But my team made me promise to get there when they noticed me not getting on the shuttle.

So ...

It's the "team building event" for the trip.
My spot is already paid for.
I promised my team I would go.
I REALLY don't want to.

Do I go? Or not? Help me decide!

Former resident of Texas here. 🖐

You have my sympathy on this. I wouldn't want to go either. But sometimes we need to do things we don't want to do. You made a promise to your team to attend the event, so I think it would be best for you to keep your promise and go to the rodeo.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Rutterman Yeah, I know. 🤷‍♀
I never knew you used to live in Texas. Was this a long time ago?
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@sarabee1995 Yes, I went to high school there.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Rutterman Oh wow. Very cool.
You are an adult. You may do as you wish. I see you are already there. Having lived happily in Texas for a few years a long time ago, I did not attend rodeos. I do not believe in them. So much cruelty. Good evening to you.
@sarabee1995 So you went. You do not approve of rodeos. How does this make you authentic?
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@PoetryNEmotion Hmm... Let me clarify... I don't "disapprove" of rodeos ... But I also don't enjoy rodeos. They are simply not my thing, but to each his own.

And I'm not sure what any of that has to do with being authentic? 🤷‍♀
@sarabee1995 Ask your mother. Adios.

If you're not interested, do anything else.

Not a Texas native, yet lived in San Antonio for three years. So I know about the rodeos there as well as in Wyoming. It's unavoidable in Wyoming, so is worse than in Texas.

They close off the whole down town area in Cheyenne for frontier days. For a whole week!
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@DeWayfarer I decided to go. I told them I would so I kinda have to.
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
Go for it.
For the team!

ineedadrink · 51-55, M
Stay for a bit then Über back to the hotel.
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
@sarabee1995 Horrify the locals by sipping Chardonnay. 😁
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@ineedadrink Omg, I could so go for one right now! 🤣🤣🤣
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
@sarabee1995 Have to make do with Lone Star, eh?
specman · 51-55, M
Yes go you will have so much fun!
specman · 51-55, M
@sarabee1995 you have fun?
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@specman Eh ... Not really my thing. Dinner was good. Full BBQ spread.
specman · 51-55, M
Go but socialize and pay no attention to the animals
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@BiasForAction That's what I ended up doing. We were in a VIP section that was big enough that you didn't see the rodeo unless you wanted to. P
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
Meat and Carbs for Dinner?

sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@KiwiBird Lol yup. That was last year's rodeo. This time it was only the bull riding. No calf roping ... which I'm happy about.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@sarabee1995 Better a Bull in Texan Rodeo than in a Spanish Bull Fight.

They do or did nasty things to the Bull before the gate opens to rile them up....outlawed here but still happens on the country circuits I am led to believe.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@KiwiBird 😖
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
Id go, you might find it interesting
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@vetguy1991 They chose the same activity last year so I already saw it. I'm just going for the BBQ and the people. I won't be watching the event.
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
@sarabee1995 lol people watch

A promise is a promise don't break it.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Gibbon Yup, I know. I'm in the Uber on the way to Fort Worth now.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Jenny1234 Lol, I'm on the way now!
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@sarabee1995 I want to go with you!
candycane · 31-35, F

sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@candycane I did end up leaving a bit early with some other peeps. 🙂
