Cowboy Up

Do ya' like Cowboy poetry podna? Well, the 24th annyal National Cowboy Poetry Gathering l'be Jan 26-Feb 2. in Elko, Nevada. You can now git yer tickets online. If yer a big spender, $155 l'git ya a ranch toor. But fer only $11, you can take a yodelin' workshop. Think I'm overdoing it? Maybe, but the official site says this:

...we look forward to pondering our individual role in shaping the West's future and also finding comfort in those things that are continuous - finding those solid horns to grab onto for the wild ride ahead.

I don't even know what that last part means. You will be comforted to know, however, that the site proclaims Mexicans are now welcome. A nice change of pace from the first 23 gatherings.
