Much ado
In Mexico they sometimes have a thing they call gyropeo (sp?). It's kind of like a big variety show, with shades of rodeo and bullfight, plus live music, etc.
Anyway, someone brought gyropeo to Austin last weekend and I was invited, so I went. But nothing happened. Or at least, while we were there it did. Or didn't.
It supposedly started at 3pm, and we got there about 5 -- there were several hundred people there (I think maybe a total of two other gueros) sitting on bleachers around the corral area in the center. During the time we were there, a kid came out on a horse and rode around a little, practicing some dressage-type moves, and a lot of people bought a lot of beer. Then they drank it. We all sat and chatted and sweated and waited, and listened to recorded music. Nothing continued to be what was on the entertainment agenda, for about an hour. People continued to arrive, but we felt we might soon die of boredom or old age, so we went home.

You could at least have posted a slightly interesting afterthought.
