Preakness

Post by **The Steward** » 16 years ago

Hey all,

I have an extra ticket for the Preakness with all the other SIMsters. It cost me $100 but I'm trying to get rid of it for $75. Is anyone going that doesn't have a ticket already?

Much sadness! I was actually considering going if my little sis still had crash space for me.

I want to.. just don't know how I'll scrape together $100 to make it. Trying hard to! Especially now I can trust where Parker is.

I can't make the Preakness itself because I have to go to a wedding that day (POOEY), but I'll be down there staying with some of the greatest SIMsters ever for the two days prior! Yay!

I've been told that I should make my plans known, so here we go...

I will be at the Preakness Stakes. I will not, unfortunately, be able to make the Friday night dinner thingy.

But we're driving up (leaving the Blue Ridge Mountain area of NC 3am Saturday) to make the races, see people, hang out, then crash violently, having been up for about a hundred consecutive hours.

Tickets are pending (I have a few questions about whether getting infield seats is similar to requesting to be spit on repeatedly by people mainlining cough syrup or whatever Maryland people drink.)

But I'll be there.

Scott, spend the $75 per head and just buy real seats. The infield is an experience, but if you're driving all the way up from Nowhere, America, then you might as well actually have some seats.

By the way, if you did leave that early, you'll probably miss out on a "good" infield seat anyway.

I went ahead and got top of the stretch tickets. I figured if I was going to invest a six hour drive, I should go ahead and get the seats I wanted.

These will be different, sayeth the Pimlico people, because the chairs will have backs! Isnt that nice.

But I'm really looking forward to it now.

Scotty, TOTS tickets are great for a couple reasons. One, you'll have a great view of - as the ticket type would indicate - the top of the stretch. The second thing to remember is that you are also technically in the infield with those seats, so you shold have a good view of the general spectacle happening at Old Hilltop. Enjoy!

My ticket for Black-Eyed Susan day was waiting for me in the mail, so now I'm officially excited. I'll be there three days from now - I can hardly believe it!
