Roger Neubauer, myself, and others will be at the bar at Magnum\'s Prime Steakhouse, 1701 West Golf Road in Rolling Meadows (a couple of miles from the track) an hour after the last race Friday, and will be there for at least a couple of hours. Anyone with a set of Thoro-Graph gets a drink on me. The phone number there is 1-847-952-8555.
I know what most of the TG gang looks like & I need to know if there\'s any added incentive(besides the great conversation & free drinks) to hustle there from the airport. And if she is going to be there, I assume no one would mind if my non-sheets reading brother, aka Babe Magnet, tags along. BTW, my reasons for asking these questions are very different than what some of you might be thinking & if things work out as I plan all will become clear in a week or so.
Mall,
What do you mean one of the others?
Actually I am afraid that I will not be able to make it, after the race we are going back into Chicago to have dinner at the Four Seasons.
I am sorry that I will not be able to meet you all but I thank you Jerry for the invite.
I would also like to wish everyone the very best of luck. Jerry, we will be sitting in the Marquee Village Level 1 Section A Row G Seats 7-10. If your seats are any where near there please stop by to say hello we will have access to the paddock and the first floor.
Please excuse my misunderstanding regarding Friday. I misunderstood and thought that you meant Sat. I apologize and would love to be there but we do not get in until 8:00 or so Friday night.
The \"others\" I was referring to are those attending with Jerry & Roger. The races end about 5pm. Per JB\'s post they will get there at 6pm & stay for at least a couple of hrs, which I think we can both assume means 3-4 hrs unless racing officials have figured out a way to limit the quantity of medication handicappers take the night before a big race day. I get in about the same time you do, but the place in question is only 11 miles from O\'Hare, & I was willing to make an extra effort to get there if I knew you & your husband were going. Keep in mind that I already know how a few of these races are going to turn out, so that attending may very well be the most important decision you make this weekend.
Hello Mall,
Really it\'s only 11 miles from Ohare?! Then perhaps we will be able to make it after all. I would like very much to meet you and \"the others\".
Thank you so very much for the information.
Hopefully I will see you tonight.
Michelle
