Last night I went to the California State Fair with some people I've met here in Sacramento. I've shamefully never been in all my years as a Californian so I was excited to see what all the hoopla was about. Luckily, we picked a great night to go because AIR SUPPLY was live in concert and you better believe we got tickets.
I'm not sure there's anything greater than seeing vintage bands still rocking leather pants and selling out venues. There was just something about Russell Hitchcock and his tatted-up arms and awkward efforts to psych up the crowd with his gyrating dance moves and "give it to me" hand gestures that really spoke to me. I may or may not have cried a little when he sang the last chorus of "All Out of Love." Music is so much better live. Even 80's Brit ballad bands.
Unfortunately, I was a lazy idiot and opted to leave my camera in the car rather than carry it around with me, because that would have been totally annoying and heavy tucked away in my back pocket...
We also rode the huge ferris wheel, played some basketball carnival game, where I sank both my shots ( I still have it, people), and ate some yummy gelato. I REALLY wanted a corn dog, but no one in my group was into the fair food so I didn't get one. Usually I wouldn't care, but these people don't really know me all that well and I don't want them thinking I'm that partial to food eaten off sticks.
Maybe next year.

Dude. You should always have a corn dog if you want one.
Air Supply was one of my favorite bands. I'm so jealous you got to see them live.
Bri. I'm all out of love and I'm so lost without you. Air Supply is the %*@! I love fair food. My personal favorite is funnel cake.
Bri, don't let those vegans intimidate you. Eat those damn corn dogs!
Food tends to be better on sticks.
Pudding? Good. Pudding POPS? Better.
