Been there, done that, got the T-shirt 11 Mar 2001
By Joanna Daneman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Everyone I know who has seen it says the Pushkar Camel Fair in Rajastan is an event not to miss. Author David Freeman includes that event and the Iditarod Sled Race, the World Cow Chip Throwing Championship in Beaver, Oklahoma, and the Carnival in Rio and New Orleans. He picked some of my dream events, and probably some of yours,too.

Of course, some of these events might considerably shorten the time between seeing them and expiring, as in the title; we were in Pamploma the week before the running of the bulls; those walls are NARROW, those cobblestones look mighty hard. Take part in a stampede ahead of irritated bovines? You do get to wear a snazzy white outfit with a red sash. They assure me that only a few people get gored every year (mostly the danger is from being trampled by the other enthusiastic participants.) We passed.

If you decide,however, that you absolutely MUST, once in your life, be chased by bulls and a few thousand of your closest friends, the book provides details on how to get there, restaurants and lodging, and website URL's. This is a very funny book, so even if you are an armchair adventurer, you'll have a blast.

Not For the Faint of Heart... 27 April 2004
By K. A. Stevenson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"100 Things to do Before You Die: Travel Events You Just Can't Miss" by Dave Freeman and Neil Teplica is a travel book for those who like adventure, "living on the edge," and somewhat of an avante garde approach to life. It is NOT for the "faint of heart" or most senior citizens (although it depends on the seniors).

100 Things provides information on such festivals and events as: Academy Awards Ceremony (which is REALLY difficult to get into); World Campionship Punkin' Chunkin' , North American Rainbow Gathering, Mardi Gras, Custer's Last Stand Reenactment, Testicle Festival, Roswell UFO Encounter, etc. As you can tell these events CAN be pretty bizarre (but never dull).

The book's events are divided by both country and, in the back, by month, which is helpful.

Unfortunately, the book only lists their own "whatsgoingon.com" website as internet info on the events. This would have been great, but it hasn't been in service lately. This glitch may be temporary, or the website may no longer cease to exist - but I would make sure that the website was up and running before I purchased the book.

2 down, 98 more to go! 16 May 2000
By LAO - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Love this book! Very interesting and funny...and it makes me realize how much there is to see and do that isn't for the traditional tourist or found in the traditional guidebook. I recommend this to anyone who's a fan of the unique and off-beat. I've also become addicted to their website, whatsgoingon.com, for a daily dose of this stuff.
