but signs of the "Greatest Show on Earth" are already popping up around Cowtown; the flags are already flyin down around the grounds and along the #1, storefronts are duly decorated and the sidewalk bars are sportin' their wood rail facades.

And while it IS known as the "Red Neck" show for those jealous types who dont live "within the confines" (sorry Cathy) there are aspects of this event that go beyond the "traditional cowboy way" For instance this years theme is "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" an effort in conjunction with Wrangler Jeans to draw attention to Breast Cancer and actually kicks the event off with "The 30 Hours of Tough". Not stopping there the Stampede Boards Parade Marshalls announcment on Wednesday raised even more eyebrows.

Forgoing the usual "Hollywood Hero" choice (altho last years was REALLY kule;  Olympic cross-country skiing silver medallist Sara Renner, and Bjoernar Haakensmoen, the Norwegian coach who saved her race by handing Renner a new ski pole after hers snapped), instead opting for four young lads doing their best for "the cause"

Aaron Jackson, Benjamin Jordan, Carlos Koppen and Rob Lewis recently completed a five month, cross Canada skateboarding odyssey, entitled PUSH FOR THE CURE, which raised over $60,000 along the way, a trek inspired by the death of one of their friends mothers. Needless to say there were a LOT of surprised reporters when officials walked the four lads out on the stage the other day; the T-shirts, jeans, hoodies and sneakers standing out in the room full of cowboy hats and s**tkickers in an event that is usually as exciting as Liberace concert.

Four ordinary kids who did an extraordinary thing.

My "Cahboy" hats off to ya!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND Everyone!

Aww Stamped...just in time for my summer vaction. For the last 6 years I leave the city durning that time. The city just get far to nuts for me (I grew up here my whole life). But I do have to say I really ike the whole cancer awarness this year, really cool!!!

Yeah, I have to agree with Kelly. The city gets more insane than it usually is during those ten days, and I'm always glad when it's finally over. But the cancer awareness focus is awesome, and I think it's great that those four skateboarders have done so much to raise awareness.

So, does this mean that we get to have a play-by-play from you again this year, Wil? You've always done such a kick-a** job of providing us with the Stampede Highlights; will you be doing it this year, too?

No apology needed Wil

The video trailer at the Push for the Cure web site is really good! What an awesome foursome, huh!?
I know a lot of people will think I'm nuts for saying this, people already DO think I'm nuts for saying so in the past, but I find guys look pretty sexy in just the right shade of pink - takes a lot of guts! And, of course, especially sexy for this cause

Hey thanks for the COOOOOL picture! You're right - it would be a lot more awesome to actually SEE it happen! But yeah, it did kind of scare me when I heard it & had no idea what it was, LoL! Neat experience!

Take care! Have a very good one

BTW - I am looking forward to highlights of the Stampede too!

and thanks for the B-day wishes for Brooklyn!

At the risk of being reminded of my sins, I saw the opening day of the Stampede in 1996 - it was great fun!

hi u w coolest . it will be fun to hear about the stampede again this year . those boys with the skate boards are very joe coolish

i am tough enough to wear pink.... i LOVE pink.

Wow that's some guitar! Did Bryan tell you about his free open-air concert here in Budapest?!

I kind of like pink on guys.

Now don't be shy; stop on by & see my pics!

Stopped in to see the Monday video before I head to work....and it's not here!!!

I hoped I might have been in the country for the Stampede, but I think I can leave my sh*tkickers in my closet... ;-)

I am VERY looking forward to your Stampede Highlights :D
