Dave Blaha..



Who else attending??

I believe I will be there.

Bigs and Co. will probably be just Bigs, which leaves 7 empty in my box.

Although it will be a momentous occasion, I will not be taking my girls out of school for it.

ohhh want to go.. do not know if i want to take a day off work.. i'll think about it.

WEAK!!!

I'm weak? My kids have been to the track more often than would be deemed "normal" for their age.

That must mean I'll be picking you up at the airport on Tuesday morning, right? Surely you're not as weak as I am and will be there in full Scavs effect.

Oh wow.....I sense a challenge.....

Bigs!

How cool is this..? You WILL have a kid to take to the track after all! :D

I laughed.

Just sign his field trip permission slip...

no guarantees yet, I never got a Xmas gift this year nor a birthday so I might play that card....

He'll never show..

WTF? I showed up at Toga didn't I?

hooves may show up...only fitting for the dt win photo :D though scavs my mush the whole deal..:eek:

Hee, hee, hee .... :D

I am going to try to get over from the east coast. Just will need to reschedule a couple of things.

I should have 2-3 peoples with me.

Southwest from McArthur $99

Jet Blue JFK $104

Busy as sh*t at work, but makes a guy think...

That is one way right? That is a sick price if it is roundtrip....

Well hell... I might be sick on Tuesday. :D

*Cough*

Yep, my throat hurts.

Each way. Still pretty good...

For sure, that is what it is out of O'Hare

To my and many others' utter disbelief.

Why? I am surprised to hear this.....

i checked on tix, but i really think there's no way. which sucks.

maybe next time. i'll be watching from home.

If anyone is on the fence, maybe the weather forecast for Tuesday will help make your decision.

From weather.com:

Tue
Jan 29 Partly Cloudy
Hi 77°/63° Low 10% of rain

I belive Tuesday January 29th is ""Take your Daughters to work day"" ! :D

it's gonna cost me $300+ if I go. The thing is I have to get back to the airport around 5pm. How late do you think the races go?
KnS runs in the 2nd again instead of the last race I will probably do it

The draw is tomorrow. I don't believe it will be one of the last two races. There are races with larger purses that will probably be run late. Last Tuesday was a 10 race card with the last race scheduled to go off at 4:34.

I'll wait until after the draw to buy tickets. They won't go up too much more.. I hope.

I bet you it is the 2nd or 3rd leg of the late P4, which ****s alot of people because that is around 4ish, thus SOL with getting to see that race and then party afterwards, because the return flight to Chi would be at like 5:30.....hopefully it is early

The flight I am looking at leaves Tampa @ 7pm. I just figured I had to be there 2 hours before

I'm on the fence even if she draws in. I'll wait until after the draw to decide. it may cost me a little more.

Airport is 15 minutes from the track....max.

Don't they make you get there real early to do the security thing?

is it safe to walk from the airport to the track? I'm really cheap
that and I'll probably be tapped out after a long day at Tampa Bay Downs
:o

Yeah, you need to be there early, but not necessarily 2hrs early. Way too far to walk....

"Enjoy it.....we do...."

I'm probably in.

If for no other reason - I'll be there to preach the gosphel of the Randy Moss.

got my ticket
it's going to be a long day

will not be there, flights too much. will send it in instead on expressbet, san diego has better weather anyway!
