CMMA had their Spring 2010 President's Dinner at Eddie Dean's in downtown Dallas, which was very fun. They had calf roping (it was a mechanical one), armadillo racing, and bull riding. I didn't think I'd get on the bull until Dan persisted, but I have to admit it was pretty fun. I was thinking "you know, you only live once" which helped me sign the waver and my life away.
