I a m thinking i need to bring a cane so we can get handicapped parking again! (knocking on wood now! :luck: )

It sounds like fun to go to the brewery etc. I only hope I can wing it on down there. Don't forget I go to the World Cup in Vegas on the 15th! :clap: I cannot believe no one is joining me! :tantrum:

Got to get back to work before I leave to go see Bodie at the clinic! :luck: :lonely:

Vegas - in my dreams. *sigh*

As long as the cane is for LOOKS only. Please don't anyone injure themselves for that close up parking.

Don't flame me for saying this... but why would people want to go watch Rolex after all the carnage last year? I would be too scared to go.

Not to sound glib, but there's SOME kind of carnage EVERY year. It's a high risk sport. I consider it no less than horse racing, steeplechasing or Rodeo! There's ALWAYS something that could go wrong, BUT seeing it done correctly TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY! :) There are FAR more that go clear and have minimal problems than have catastrophic accidents.

I also go to meet up with the lovely TOCers! We did manage to have a GREAT time despite the accidents.

Of course we aren't going to flame you Gringa, you must be thinking of some other BB somewhere :innocent:

I actually really did think about that because last year was very sad at times.

But as Jilli said, we had so much fun as a group doing lots of stuff, dinner out, happy hour, shopping, driving around in Jilli and Gunnar's big van , going out to the liquor shop yet again, out for breakfast, more shopping, another happy hour, great restaurants....

It's just hard to say no to that. But I will be worried watching the cross country for sure. And if the weather isn't perfect that day I may just do something else.

Ya, and do bring the cane Steph. We can build a cast for someone each morning :yes:

Hotel info: MICROTEL in Georgetown is FILLING UP and has a few rooms left. I guaranteed my room which is a single, non smoking (queen bed) for 69.95 per night (23-26). Pretty much the same thing I had last year which I LOVED!

The number is 502-868-8000 and I talked to VICTORIA.

If you want a room ACT NOW! She said they are filling up FAST. She also said that when we get there, if we ask they will take an ADDITIONAL 10% off. :)

That I totally understand, and I apologize for the negativity... it just still sticks in my mind so much.. since it was such a bad year at Rolex with injuries etc last year. Hopefully this year will be incident free!

I hope you guys have an awesome time... I would like to watch. I am a little gunshy still after last year.. but maybe I will get braver.

For sure, I would love to go to the World Cup in Vegas... now that I would surely love.

:clap:

Victoria really does rock!!! :cheer:

it will be great to see Janet again too. :hug: You guys driving again? I'd like to try and get seats next you guys for dressage. I wonder how we do that? They apparently have re-done the stadium this year.

I got a room! Guess that means I am coming! <3 :cheer:

La gringa I am with you on that front. I come from eventing world now and it even makes me nervous to watch Rosie and Mr G do novice! :lonely: But I love the company and the horses! :cloud9: Watching the jog on Sunday was fascinating and worth the crowd! :bigwhoop: I do not plan on standing near any thing big and bad. I may just seat myself near a monitor and watch from afar, maybe next to a less evil jump or two! :luck:

On with my plans! :cheer:
