Speaking of which, the Home and Garden show was at the IX Center today. For those of you who aren't from Cleveland, the IX Center is an absolutely ginormous warehouse where a lot of trade shows come each year (i.e., the car show, wedding shows, sports card shows, etc.). This weekend it's the Home and Garden show. I decided to go with my parents since I am about to be a new homeowner, and going to a Home and Garden show seems like something a homeowner would do. There are 40 aisles of booths and booths of vendors. Most of it is home or garden related. But a good portion of it is just people trying to sell you stuff that has nothing to do with owning a home, for example, crappy homemade jewelry and parrot food.
All in all, it was a lot of fun and really great hanging out with my parents. For those of you who are wondering, yes they did buy me dinner (and lunch). Here is what I learned today:
- Mullet sightings are still funny
- People will buy anything
- I am not someone who feels the need to wear clothing emblazoned with images of the American flag to show my patriotism
- Most wasteful use of windshield decals: featured in 8 inch letters on the windshield of an older model Honda Prelude: PRELUDE
- Any amount of money is too much to spend on clothing for a ceramic goose

I read it last night after coming back from the local boozer. Have to say, at the time it made perfect sense.
To my friend in OZ - come visit me! From the sound of it we could be really dangerous if we go drinking together, and that could be really fun. Plus you could help me write an even better drunk post! :)
