also, i didn’t realize that it was already the first week of october and that the balloon fiesta would be starting. this is awesome because the balloon fiesta is tits, but it also sucks because i work like.. a half mile from the balloon park. there are “NO PARKING” signs all the way up roy from 2nd st to the casino, but that’s not gonna stop people from parking and/or driving around to watch balloons. since i work nights, the mass ascention in the morning isn’t a big deal but the crowds that the balloon glows/special shapes rodeos draw are problematic. so i’m going to head into work early each night that there’s some late event so i dont have to spend an hour+ in my car trying to get to work (typically a 12 minute drive).
