Is the Carnival Over, Man? A Houstonian's Lament
So, you're wondering when the heck that carnival in Houston is gonna pack up its rides and go home, huh? Well, let's dive into this together, shall we?
Carnival: The Uninvited Guest That Overstays Its Welcome
I get it. The lights, the noise, the overpriced cotton candy - it’s all fun and games for a while. But when that Ferris wheel starts to look more like a torture device than a thrill ride, you know it’s time for a change.
Houston, we have a carnival problem. It's like that one relative who shows up for Thanksgiving and just refuses to leave. You know, the one who eats all the pie and then starts giving unsolicited life advice.
When Does This Circus End?
Unfortunately, the carnival's departure date can be as elusive as Bigfoot. It depends on a few factors:
- The Rodeo: If we're talking about the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo carnival, it usually packs up its tents around the end of February or early March. But hey, don't quote me on that. Rodeos are weird, and their schedules are even weirder.
- Other Carnivals: There might be smaller, independent carnivals popping up around town throughout the year. These guys are like the free spirits of the carnival world – they come and go as they please.
How to Survive the Carnival Apocalypse
If you're trapped in a carnival-induced nightmare, here are a few tips:
- Embrace the Chaos: Put on your clown makeup and join the circus. You might as well have fun while you're stuck there.
- Find a Quiet Corner: Some carnivals have surprisingly peaceful spots. Maybe there's a shady bench or a less crowded game booth.
- Plan Your Escape: Start plotting your exit strategy. Learn the carnival layout like the back of your hand. You might need to make a daring escape.
