a nice weekend!
So im out with a friend that was looking for something to do (like I do so often), and we ended up meeting up and going to a house party. Ok, no this was a mansion party. This house was huge and it was beautiful. Almost too beautiful. It was so “perfect” I don’t even think I could live there. I like to be able to kick my shoes off and let ‘em sit in the middle of the floor and in this house, I got the feeling if I did that, someone would come right behind me and pick them up and I would never see ‘em again. So, im hanging with my date and we had a good time meeting and talking to people and I found myself talking to another group of girls. One of them gave me her number. But let me say this… I saw her giving her card to some dude 20 minutes before so I figured what the heck!!!
the next day, she, the girl I met the night before, and I ended up hanging out. I had a big plan to hang with like 50 listeners on Saturday evening. We were all going to the fair and to the big Prarie view vs Grambling game. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take this person that I didn’t know to a function where I wouldn’t really be able to hang with her. so I just invited her to hang for lunch and she seemed cool and seemed like a people person and said she wouldn’t mind hanging with the big group. The LAST THING I wanted to do was to put a girl in a situation that would make her uncomfortable. Not exactly the ideal first date but she rolled with the punches! Anyway, We ended up turning a simple, 1 hour lunch into a an evening at the fair with 50 people that neither of us knew and enjoying the halftime show and riding rides and eating good/bad food.
Thanks to every one that partied with me on Saturday night..it was awesome…actually, it started out kinda slow. I was getting kinda worried that the turnout wasn’t going to be good! But people did make their way to primos by the time the bus took off and from there, the fun began. There were no “refreshments” on the bus so the first stop was the “refreshment” store. After the 50 of us basically raided that store, we continued on to the fair. Our black tour bus was beautiful. But no matter how beautiful the tour bus is, you MUST have a parking pass to get onto the fair grounds… UNLESS, you have a cousin that works there. If you do, all you need to do is to give him a call and he will wave your beautiful black tour bus right in…right in to the livestock trailer parking area! Really! So morgan, our driver, managed to park our tour bus right between 2 horse trailers and we were on our way. That’s ok though… it was free!
And yes…I tried the chicken fried bacon…CHICKEN FRIED BACON? Yup! And it tasted just like it sounds. Haha.
If you’re a black guy, You already get a few looks when you walk around the fair with a girl that’s white/spainish…try walking around the fair during what I lovingly call “black day” because of the big rivalry game between the 2 historical black universities, Prarie View and Grambling University. But we all had a great time. My back is still hurting from some twisting ride that swung us around like ragdolls!
again, thanks to the group and there will be another “big al night out” real soon.

Big Al,
Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you. You were so sweet to my daughter and me this weekend at the fair. I was excited to get to meet you and listen to you guys every morning in Monroe, La. I am originally from Dallas so it is nice to have a little piece of it here. Anyway, my sister took a really cute picture of the three of us. If you would like me to email it to you let me know where. Good times at the fair!!
