only in laredo...

you know the allstar game is in laredo when...

• the line for beer and frito pies is longer than the line to take a picture with the stanley cup.
• the intermission event is a juggler that has an "act" that consists of him juggling balls in his mouth. (fill in dirty jokes here)
  
• the high school marching band and flag girls team thing were the other main event. have you ever noticed how flag girls are NEVER in sync? hmm. interesting.
  
• it's a wednesday night, but the alcohol still flows like water. what can i say, mexican's like their beer.
  
• during oh canada everyone is looking around going "what the hell is this?" but during la bamba the place erupted...ok they didn't really play la bamba but i bet the place would have gone loco if they had.
  
• during the afternoon the stanley cup went "across." as in, took a little trip to mexico. and got hammered on cheap tequila while being scarred forever by the infamous donkey show.
  
• the program is in english and spanish. yet still no one knows quite what is going on. it's laredo. i mean come on. what do you expect.
  
• while all the other team mascots are out there skating around dancing and doing their mascot thing to pep up the crowd, your mascot can be found clutching on to the edge of the rink, trying to keep their balance. awesome.
  
• halfway thru each period there is a "time out," which is actually just a random break where a live mariachi band plays. and people from every direction do that aiy-yai-yai call thing that mariachi's do. no? guess you don't listen to enough mariachi music. get on that.
  
• you overhear "that's the puck. the little black thing. see it?" no really, i heard someone say that.
