Stampeding

As the Alternative Olympics wind down the last events are taking place before the Masquerade Ball tomorrow night. Spectators are expressing regret that the games are concluding and have rushed from stadium to arena experiencing every last possible event. Members of the Press without home country credentials were forced to watch the final Stampede from the adjoining roadway. It was, however, a magnificent example of beefy strength even from a distance. The cheering from the stands-deafening.

Because the Masquerade Ball is slated to be the Party of the Decade, the price of tickets to the event is skyrocketing. There is even a rumored black market dealing in the coveted silver sparkley tickets. To the amazement of all, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have agreed to sing at the event. They intend to do an entire set from their upcoming tour entitled, "Home is on Your Back, Please Wipe Your Feet Before Entering"!!!! The Alternative Village is atwitter.
