Derby pics
A few weeks ago, I told you about my adventures at the Kentucky Derby. Here are the pictures (in pop-up windows):
Updated June 1 with more hi-res pictures
One, the paddock, where you can see the horses and the jockeys before the race.
Two, a horse being taken through the paddock.
Three, Mike Rosenberg (left) and I smoke cigars on the infield and discuss business plans for a cross-platform video game console.
Four, more of Mike and me in the infield.
Five, Mike enjoys a hotdog.
Six, young men like to drink and stand on the edge of balconies.
Seven, more rich southerners in the stands.
Eight, me pondering the bottom of yet another Mint Julep [that I’m holding for someone else]. Could it really be gone already?
Nine, two rich fat white guys, a powerful southern image. (see Mike’s future site, WorldRising.com)
Ten, a guy with a box on his head. You can’t see it, but on the other side of the box are kiss-shaped lipstick smears.
Eleven, me smoking a cigarette. Note the way I hold it. I obviously don’t have a smoking habit.

Curious as to how the juleps went for you.
Derby day was my first, and I was a little disappointed; I was expecting more “mojito” taste and less “flat diet coke” taste.
After three I became much less disciminating, though.

I’m a big fan of the mint juleps–but I’ve never had them before. After two mint juleps, even the crappy Coors Light beer was palatable.

I concur with Bryan Droz, comments on you being fruity.
