State Fair Motherfucker

Last time I was at the Minnesota State Fair, or, The Great Minnesota Get-Together if you will, was in 2004 when I was unemployed, in desperate need of quick cash and agreed to man the sno-cone stand in the Grandstand. This was, quite possibly, the worst 10 days of my life for reasons I don't feel like reliving at the moment, let's just say my feet have NEVER hurt so much and I worked as a cocktail waitress in high heels for some years.



This year, I'm doing it up right. Crop Art! Giant Sow! Shit on sticks! Talent show finals! Fireworks! Sadly, no Har Mar Superstar this year.

Hey Laura. I was at the fair myself yesterday and could not bring myself to enter the Grandstand to see that awful place again. Last year Max kept calling me to see if I wanted to work again. I never returned her calls. It was an awful experience truly, but at least I was in good company!
