| 2023 PNE
I've beed going to the PNE for as long as I can remember. For some reason, I'm really looking forward to it.
Even though it sucks balls, gotta get stuff from Jimmy's, Hunky Bills, Root Beer, and PNE House tickets.
I haven't checked yet, but those places might be gone.......... nothing is forever.
I missed the jousting last year. Will have to make it a point to see it this year.
Seniors admission and further 30% off via BCAA, ftmfw!

Apparently anchorman is the only sequel that Ferrel has done but I agree. Fantastic comedy.

Look for a dude with a shaved head and tattoos singing loudly to Creep.

As I'm getting older, I feel like I have no interest in any of these kind of things anymore. Always feels like the same shit... been there, done that. But being a new dad, I feel I'll have to repeat the cycle of life again and start going to all these things for the sake of my kid to experience it all, just like I once did when I was younger.

I don't know what it's like at the PNE now as we haven't been in over 10 years, but this year I went to the stampede for the first time in like 8 years and wow - $8 for bottled water. And that's just the start, so I would imagine the PNE is the same???
Regardless, good experience with the kid(s) but gets costlier each year.

When my kids were young, the PNE didn't have strict rules. We packed a picnic basket. Loaded it with food that was 1001 times better than any of the places offered. Obento style. Karaage, teriyaki, tempura,BBQ'd wild salmon with miso, wieners rolled up in tamago (egg), onigiri with katsuo and ume on the inside all wrapped in ajitsuke nori, etc. It wasn't a basket, per se, but in traditional Japanese jyubako. People around us were like............. "Holy Shit!"
Needless to say, my kids looked forward to the PNE. It's what you make of it, I guess. Back then, there was lots to see and do for free. So many things are gone now. It was an actual fair back then. I remember all the displays. Challenger Map in full was there along with 4H, and a whole slew of best of the year (produce, preserves, floral arrangements, whathaveyou) contest winners. People showing off their craft.
Anyway................... now it's just a gong show. A very expensive gong show. My daughter still wants to play Whack-a-Mole, and the water pistol games with the old man. Daddy used to be good at that stuff. I have all the plushies to prove it. Nowadays, my daughter is like a ninja master at Whack-A-Mole. One day is reserved for father/daughter time. Just got to remember not to call anything gay or retarded. Oh, speaking about retarded. Doesn't matter how many years I've gone to the PNE, one of the must do things for me is the retarded shoot 'em up gallery thing. Like why? It's just one of those things that defy Vulcan logic.

It’s a thing to do?
I don’t really get people who like constantly shit on it as boring etc. then don’t go lol, it’s just an annual thing to do, you’re not obligated to spend anything more than entry

"It's the same every year," is so worn out................ like my new "Exclusive" LP I just purchased last week. It skips......... as in plays the same track over and over again.
It's about tradition and making new memories............. meeting people you haven't seen in decades. One year, I saw someone who I wanted to avoid at all costs. Well, dude spotted me from behind the tents where I was hiding. It actually turned out alright. He changed - a lot. I must stand out more than Mike. jbol.

I dunno I thought last year was pretty cool at the PNE.
They've pivoted the event to be a little more adult-centric.
No more stupid beer gardens, you can walk around the entire venue with your drinks, which is awesome.
WAY more food trucks and options as well, if you're a foodie you'll find way more shit to stick your teeth in nowadays.

TLC was good, damn did they take a lot of breaks between songs though, TBOZ must've needed a breather. Pretty short set in total.
The PNE was pretty dead last night, I was surprised.
I guess people are staying in due to the smoke.
