Snowdown is a sorta somewhat famous festival we celebrate in Durango. It's a week of hot-wing eating contests and transvestite fashion shows. This year we participated in an "Operation" tournament. Like as in the game that you played as a kid that goes "bagggggghhhhh" when you touch the side of the board while operating on a fake patient. I'm sad to say that Brett lost. But he likes to qualify that by saying that he lost to the eventual grand champion.
So all week long people take off of work or call in sick. They frolic in the snow and search for this crazy "silver bullet" scavenger hunt. It's like the town turns into ten year olds.
And obviously, it's quite fun!
This was the first year in a long long time that we made it to the Snowdown parade. The festivities get started around 6p so it is one of the few parades that you will watch in the dark...when it is usually very very cold.
But this year it wasn't that cold. It was actually perfect and it was really fun to be outside and surrounded by the drunken merriment.
