I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when an unsolicited email popped up offering tickets to the annual bull riding extravaganza at Madison Square Garden. But I did know I was going to say yes, and I did know the best companion on such a clearly American adventure would be Alexa Chung. Let's just say it did not disappoint. There were bandanas, cowboy hats, chaps, oversized belt buckles, cowboy boots and the sing song twang that is so endearing with country folk. (A bonus: whoever DJs these things has an amazing sense of humor and an outrageously short attention span.) The rodeo had everything we loved, including adventure, physical pain caused upon others and the smell of urine. It was a wonderful day.
