Oh, Yea the balloon fiesta is about to start! Its one of the many things that make Albuquerque the most unique city in the state. On Saturday October 1st the fun begins.
The fiesta is so wildly popular that it is nearly impossible to find a decant parking spot close by. I mean you could always park some where far away but one of the most practical solutions to solving this problem is to simply drive a short distance to a local shuttle bus the give rides to the Fiesta grounds. You can park in the parking lot get on the bus and drive right in without all of the head ache, line waiting and endless battle for a parking.
If you do decide to go be prepared to spend some money. Everything there is so expensive you could easily spend 60 dollars in the first 3 hours. Well, combined all of the games, prizes, food, jumpers and toys its kinda hard not to. One of the most amazing thing you can experience is to go around night, watch the Glodeo and the fireworks then wake to the Mass assertion the next morning. The Mass Assertion is when every single balloon goes up at one time so that the sky is completely scattered with with different shapes, sizes, and colors of balloons, seeing all of them at the same is completely mesmerizing. So I highly recommend cutting aside time to visit the Balloon Fiesta this year.

state fair
State fair
Yes its that time of year again, the sounds the food the fun. the state fair is back in town !!! I personally love the state fair mostly because i live within walking distance from it but anyway the main attraction for kids and teens my age are the rides.
The rides are the only thing that keep me coming back. There fun and exciting but are they really altogether such a good thing. Those rides at the state fair are designed to be easy to assemble and reassemble so aside from all the fun and excitment the reality of it is that they are a neon death trap.
however the rides arent all bad they are the most exciting thing the fair has to offer (esspecially the sling shot) but what really sucks are the prices.
The prices there are insane. 6$ for a bottle of water, 20$ for a single ride pass and up to 5$ for the suckish little games. I went there with Ayse and together we had around 120$ but we left completely broke :-(. Everything is just so expensive yet there are around yet there are around 400 to 500 people a day.
Next we have the exibits some of them are really cool like the animal contests but some of the other ones are super pathetic like that snake lady exhibit it was just a stuffed animal snake with a lady whos head was sticking out of a table.
And lastly the noise. I mean it doesnt bothere people who dont live as close as i do but its so incredibly loud and so annoying esspecially and 10 o'clock on a tuesday.
