Besides live animals, we're most looking forward to the food: Food at the Puyallup Fair is either surprisingly bad or surprisingly good.

magazine claims, "You can't swing a dead cat this time of year without hitting a Top 10 List." Never one to waste a perfectly good dead cat, we decided to take a swing and create a Top Random-Number Shows Seattlest Saw This Year. And now, without any further ado, here's how your favorite bloggers broke down the year:

If the 7,500 seat indoor rodeo arena that a group of businessmen in Centralia are proposing gets built, Seattlest will be there on opening day, ringside, or, uh, whatever you call it at a rodeo. They want public money - We'll gladly pay it (screw you Sonics). We could be way wrong on this, but in Seattlest's mind a 7,500 rodeo arena doesn't contain any luxury boxes. It's all bleachers, right? Let's not pretend that b-ball in Seattle is at all "urban" (and things would have been particularly dire if Key Arena got renovated and ticket prices shot up). You cannot deny that rodeo is as country as agriculture, ranching, property rights initiatives, cultural conservatism... Alright, fuck those last few, but rodeo is Good Country. Like the Fair, which we are going to this weekend.
