It's been five years since we attended the Belmont Stakes in 2002. Since then Triple Crown season has been the unofficial start of the summer. In 2003 we attended our first Preakness, making this year my historic fifth Preakness. Looking back, the Preakness has always been the Champagne of Races. This is mostly due to the fact that we have only been to one Kentucky Derby and the Belmont has become like a dolphin's butt in the last few years, watertight (Seriously you can't even water in with you let alone a cooler.) The Preakness has been home to the Sandy Chang sighting, Ostrowe's sun burn, and the Sweet Murph Teriyaki. Unfortunately however, the last few years have been disappointing in the way that life has interfered, like it has a tendency of doing. Between real jobs, graduations, and responsibilities we haven't all been able to be at the Preakness every year. BUT finally, we will all come back to Pimlico. And we have quite the crew this year:
New Members
Moro: Beep Bop Boop Bip. (Translation: Underestimates the magnitude of the Preakness)
Anfron: Give us our best chance to talk to people other than us. (Read: Actually having conversations instead of saying smart ass comments to people)
Brock Singleton: Part-time Professional Wrestler. Once had a feud with Big Lenny
Returning Members
Ostrowe: Once passed out while chanting Big Lenny. After a one-year absence, Ostrowe comes back to Pimlico looking to prove to everyone why he was voted the most entertaining Preakness attendee at last year's race.
Vodka/Cranberry: Ostrowe's sidekick. Six liters of it.
Mar: He will most assuredly be winded.
Dmo: Also returning after a one-year absence. It is guaranteed he will steal something by the time the day is over. He is also putting his Korean Rummy Championship on the line.
Rick: Is hoping to win the Designated Driver Award this year. He got hosed the last three years. It is comforting to know that there are that many designated drivers hanging out in the infield though.
Stay Tuned.
