Blogs can be bitchy, gripey things, and me being the crusty bastard that I am I tend to enjoy venting frustrations. I like calling people in power things like hinky bastards, drunken primates, and porcine fornicators, and except for some exceptions I’m more just attacking the positions they are in, and maybe their ability (or lack thereof) of performing those duties.
However, there are times when we all get together and hang out, and last night was one of those times. If you missed the Council Night Out (which I can understand, as it was advertised for crap), you missed a good time. It was completely free, which is the best price of all, and had food, games, prices, portolets, and Mayor Bradshaw displacing water in a dunking tank and being a great sport with the kids.
Pigpen, MastaG, and I rode in the Oak Ridge Electrical Dept cherry picker up to the top and had a nice view of town, which looks pretty good from that distance. We saw a few politicians, and even resisted the urge to pants them (even Dave Clark).
All in all, it was a great time, and I say thanks to whoever was involved in setting up it, except the bastards doing the music. The massive earthshaking speakers playing top 40 (lyrics like “Shit nigga shit, nigga nigga” are full on grammy material, and completely appropriate for the situation) could have been gone, and I would have had a bit more fun.
C’est la vie.

Yeah, I like civic gettogethers like yesterday’s O.R. Night Out.

It would have been nice if they’d had it somewhere with a bit more shade. God damn was it hot yesterday. I thought I was going to have a heatstroke.
