New Mexico has a State Fair up in Albuquerque, but we do things differently here in Southern New Mexico. So much so that we have our own version of the state fair. I was there on Saturday and it was pretty packed. Lots of entertainment, fair food, and rodeo stuff to take in.

Description from the fair

The 56th annual Southern New Mexico State Fair and Rodeo takes place September 28th through October 2nd at the Dona Ana County Fairgrounds, 13 miles west of Las Cruces.

Highlights of this family friendly event include thrilling rides by Frazier Carnival Shows, professional rodeo on Friday and Saturday along with live main stage concerts Thursday through Saturday. Be amazed by the aerial jumps and flips of Brigade FMX Freestyle Motocross and the comedy of Puppy Pals, as seen on America's Got Talent. Throw in incredible and unique cuisine, Ballet Folklorico dancers, antique tractor displays, petting zoo, livestock and craft exhibits, and you will discover there is something for everyone at the Southern New Mexico State Fair and Rodeo.

Most adults have fond memories of begging your parents to stop at McDonald's for a happy meal. The anticipation of getting that one of a kind shaped box was almost as exhilarating as Christmas morning. It wasn't the food in the happy meal that got your adrenaline pumping, it was the prize! Happy Meals have had some of the most desired toys for kids over the decades. They had everything from McDonald's themed toys to blockbuster movie tie-in stuff. At one point they even had a separate collection of toys for boys and girls.

When I heard they were coming out with an Adult Happy Meal complete with a toy, my curiosity was piqued. I was afraid it would be another attempt to force healthy food on us. I was ecstatic when I found out it was basically a supersized kids happy meal! You can pick between a Big Mac or 10 piece McNuggets. Watch the video to see what I think about the new Adult Happy Meal.

I was invited to attend Northern Ireland Comic Con in Belfast. I took a week to travel around Northern Ireland and Ireland to take in all the beautiful country. The first stop was Belfast by way of New York City JFK and London Heathrow.

The Titanic Hotel is located in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast. It is conveniently right across the street from the Titanic Museum. The hotel itself, is the old headquarters of Harland & Wolff, builders of Titanic. They really did a great job of modernizing the building while maintaining a lot of the old structure. There are lots of awesome pieces of art detailing the history of White Star Line and the Titanic.

The Titanic Hotel Belfast is a great hotel to stay at for one night while you are visiting the Titanic Museum. The history and ambience of the Titanic Hotel are top notch and their bar and dining are amazing. If you plan on staying in Belfast for more than one night, I suggest getting a room in downtown Belfast for the other nights, mostly due to the price.

I am a huge Kevin Smith fan. When I heard they were doing Mooby's pop-up restaurants around the country I got excited... until I saw none would be near me.
