[More Cowbell]

HB days let me down a little. It was not as big as it's been in years past. Also the "Mountain Dew" stage was no where near the Expo center, it was down Hambley Blvd. at the very end of the festivities.

I was also conned by a carnie. He told me I could play the dart game for free, so I went over there, he said the first throw was on him (which I guess normally costs $2). I made the shot and then he said that if I made the next two I would get one of the big prizes, not a small one like you normally get. So I threw them and made them both and he then told me each throw was $5. So he made me pay $10 for the throws which I was never told the price of and then instead of getting a "big" prize I got one of the "medium" size prices.

I can't stand walking through the carnival because of those guys, they just won't shut up. If I wanted to pay $2 for the chance to win something that's worth 25 cents, I'd save time just giving them the money and leaving.
