The problem with Edmonton in the spring, when all of the snow melts and the city becomes... brown again, is that everyone is just far too overeager. The city pretends to be super fun and exciting as soon as it can possibly get away with saying it's spring, and this goes all the way until the very last drop of summer heat, because it just never seems like we get enough of those seasons. Kind of like a girl who barely ever gets laid (and really wants to get laid all of the time), so when she finally finds a dude who can stand to bone her for a little while, she wants to make his time spent seem like the best EVER. So she starts throwing parties every night, gets drunk constantly, becomes really giddy and stupid, and starts to dress super slutty all of a sudden.

Yeah, that's Springtime Edmonton for you. Drunk, desperate, and slutty. But at least we have good beef!
