I suspect a lot of you got this email but for those that didn't - this might be an easy way to keep up to date on what is going on.

This is going to be my chance to make lemonade out of lemons.

I recieved my seating assignment and I'm at one of the fold up tables in the race book in the 2nd row. Not the best seat. Looks like there will be power in the area.

Truth be known .... I'm just glad to be here. :)

That's the spirit Ed. Red Rock does the best it can but some folks have to draw the short straw. l need a passport to get to Sally's seat and so what. The complainers should go ask all the great players who didn't get in Wednesday if they would take a seat in the boondocks. Guarantee me a qually in 2011 and I'll sit in the toilet.

[Donnie]

Agree with y'all! First rodeo the wife got seated next to the sandwich bar at Ballys. This time...2nd row from the front, one seat off the isle. If I gotta fly fast, it won't be far! But better to be here than not at all!

[Donnie]

Met up with a lot of HTR players at the opening reception....Henry (and his wife Paulette), SPIKE and his brother George, Daven, Paul Parker, The Goodalls, The Wagners, the Mayos, TJ Taylor <Valupicks>, and probably a few I've forgotten.....

Tipped back a few 'ritas, and as Daven said, I'm now in the mood to do some horsey work!!

We even have pictures of the perps.....

From left to right....Paul, Daven (rear), SPIKE (front),Suze, me....

Glad you got your hat Donnie - have to fight anyone for it?

[HBee]

Go Get 'um, Team HTR!!

[Sheets Guy]

My guess is that some HTR players would have had that 68-1 shot at LRL ranked 4th on HTR rating dropping in class. I hope so...:D

[OPM]

Hey Sheet Guy, if you didn't have the pizza in your hand, you would have had it too:D
