this weekend was 91.7 wmse's 6th annual rockabilly chili cookoff. some allies took it as a service day and worked the event selling tickets and hawking tee shirts.
i decided to take the early shift to catch up on some of the hours i've been missing from all the court dates. in order to get to the event, i had to ride the bus from my house. on sundays the city bus runs a staggered schedule, so in order for me to get there on time, i left the house at about 6:30. if i'd have made the coffee, i'd never have gotten there.
the event was really great. there was an awesome turnout and the wmse wranglers were once again awesome. there was chili and adult beverages a-plenty, as well as fantastic american music. i will admit, i did shake it a little bit while selling tickets.
it was nice to do some real service work . rather than just sitting around, i sold tickets and helped out the entire day. there were so many people to meet, so much chili to taste. i saw a few other allies, and they looked like they were having a blast too.
according to dictionary dot com, one of the definitions of chili is as follows:
chili (n)
chili (n)
1. ground beef and chili peppers or chili powder often with tomatoes and kidney beans
2. very hot and finely tapering pepper of special pungency
2. very hot and finely tapering pepper of special pungency
well, given that i wasn't partaking any ground beef, i don't know what you'd call what i was eating, but it was great! i had all sorts of vegetarian chili, including pumpkin, eggplant, and avocado varieties! kate was there, laughing every time she heard me insist "i love chili. seriously."
this probably happened every 5 minutes.
the thing was rockin, the food was awesome, the experience was a good one.
here's a picture of the event, can you find me? hint: i'm in a red shirt. it's kind of like where's waldo...
