What looney, weird, crazy things are you doing this weekend? Try and beat this!

This weekend I am a volunteer for the place I work in a parade to a local festival. Then an hour or so later I'm participating in the same costume at a musical/dance/audiance participation performance at that same the festival. It's one of the larger charity/community/church sort of carnval/festivals held in our area of the state. You know the sort of thing. Beer tents, food vendors, corn roast, ammusment rides, petting zoo, pony rides, local bands, raffle, coed volley-ball and other sport tournments, tractor pull, firemen water fights and the like.

I will be in a full body costumn. Fake plus fur/foam padded top complete with a full head/helmet piece. Weather is expected to be in the low to mid 80s F.

It does have a cooling vest but that will only last about an hour before all the coldpacks thaw. Though we will have a cooler with lots of ice and either spare cold packs or at least the ice to partially refreeze them. I must be crazy! I do have permission to *bail* if it gets to be too much. I did this most recently back in June in the upper 60s F and 90 minutes was near my limit.

I will NEVER make fun of anyone in a marching band or team mascot in costume ever again.

These people suffer for our entertainment.

I'm sooo glad I'm not doing this in Dallas TX. They will hit 104F today. We hit the low 90s starting Sunday here in SE Wisconsin.

So, I have to ask... who here is doing something equally wierd this weekend?
