Just an FYI that Jason and I will be going to the Preakness in Baltimore on Saturday. Probably stay overnight at the Inner Harbor and hit the ESPNZone on Saturday night.

Just a shoutout if any of my NFFC brothers are going, we could toss a few brews together. Thanks.

Gekko,

Would love to meet up with you and Jason, but I have too much work to do with school, around the house, etc. this weekend.

If you guys go up there quite often, let me know, as although my summer is busy, I may be able to squeeze it in.

I actually was in B-More 2 weeks ago, and had a great time! That boxing game at ESPN is awesome, and is one hell of a workout!

GG, I am going to the Preakness as well. Are you and Jason heading for the infield or the grandstand? My group will be in the backstretch in the infield and we go into the infield via the backstretch entrance.

Rick, you better watch out or these guys will convince you to return to Las Vegas in September. Don't worry about GG, he hasn't changed at all. Just look for the John Deere T-shirt (which actually would go well at a horse race) and he will be inside!

Come join us in the backstretch, GG, as that is where all of the gamblers are. Don't worry as there will be plenty of sights to see and beer to drink. Coolers with beer in cans is acceptable. Sorry but the Corona bottles won't get in. They have plenty of betting windows in the infield and you haven't lived until you've been there. I will wear my Pentagon sweatshirt and my Texas A&M ball cap. Are you coming down Friday night or Saturday morning?

i was planning on coming down saturday morning and staying overnight at the inner harbor. what about you? where are you staying? PM me with your cell phone number.

No, the infield ticket is what you need, but after we go in we rope off a spot in the backstretch. Do you already have your tickets? I am flying to Baltimore tomorrow and staying with my sister until Sunday morning. I'll email her to see if it's ok for you and Jason to crash there Friday night so you can get the full Preakness experience. Just bring a couple of chairs. Then, all you'll need to do is get hotel reservations for Saturday night as the Inner Harbor is definitely the place to be.

Billy, if you want to join us just holler as I'm sure you can crash at sister's house too. I'll call brother-in-law to pick you up a ticket as I think they were $25. Comparable to Mardi Gras in atmosphere but not in magnitude, thank God.
