This is probably more entertaining if sung to the tune of "El Paso".

Down near the southwestern town of Las Vegas,
There was a gath'ring of Talk dot Bizarre.
Huge and Outdoorsy, this Outrageous Blowout
Drew in the cave newts from near and from far.

We got to HOTT.BOB at nearly eleven,
People were waving and shouting our names.
I spent the evening just talking and laughing,
Drinking tequila and playing weird games.

  JJ awoke us at seven o'clock
  To go on the bicycle riiiiiiiiiiiiide
  Exhausted and muddy, and just a bit bloody,
  We rode into Taos around dinnertime.

Jade wedded Crisper at two in the morning
I toasted the couple and stumbled to bed.
(The wedding continued until nearly daybreak
I thought it better to get sleep instead.)

8 am breakfast burritos were yummy,                      [1]
Grabbed ropes and harness to go climb a wall
Cave newts are known for their soft sticky toe pads
But still use belay gear in case of a fall.

  Then we had chili and then it was time
  To do A Midsummer Night's Dreeeeeeeeeeeam
  Gooley was Bottom, and laughs, he sure got 'em         [2]
  We all oohed and aahed at the fireworks display.

Hilary, Pete and I went to the hot spring                [3]
Hispanic drunkards brought cultural flair.               [4]
Back at the campfire folks made some strange music
When we came back I just pulled up a chair.

Went to bed late, and I woke up too early
What did I care, I was still feeling high.
Helped with the clean-up and hugged lots of people,
One final kiss -- and -- then -- HOTT.BOB -- good-bye.

[1] Or was that the pancake day?  I don't remember now.
[2] If you think this rhyme is terrible, don't listen to the original song.
    "I picked a good one, it looked like he could run"?  Jeez.
[3] Brett came too but I couldn't fit his name into the verse.
[4] "Yo soy el rey de la sangre de la tierra."
