[sketchbook]

This picture is made up of a couple events from that day. The cattle is taken from a picture of a cattle drive that happened right outside our office at 11:30. Some cowboys and cowgirls in the spirit of the American Royal thought it would be grand to drive the cattle up Wyandotte in downtown Kansas City. We all took the opportunity to leave our desk to cheer on the effort. The people in Spain do it right when they run with the bulls. This cattle drive was anti-climatic and was over as soon as it started...but I would watch it again - every year.

Later that evening after my soccer game and after we put the kids to bed, I met up with BB to see a dreampop band from New York play at the Record Bar. It has been a while since I have been to a show. We had a great time, Asobi Seksu was really good and really loud. By the time we left our ears were ringing and we smelt like cigarettes.

Doc, we need an update from you.

Yeah, Doc. it's about time. :)

It could be that they were showing the cattle off to prospective buyers, so they could pick out their steaks like people in seafood restaurants pick out their lobsters.

Come to think of it... they were running the cattle right pretty close to the Savoy Grill.

No access to highspeed internet = no update. Just quick stents of blurking.

Fun to see the pictures. I got lost trying to find another small town bull run yesterday. Never got there. Here's a link with a bull run (it's the second one down in the article of YouTubes of SPain). http://in-madrid.com/second.html
