They have 50cent Friday. Would you guys be interested in Friday instead?

Fifty-Cent Nights! FREE Admission! Programs, Hot Dogs and Pepsi only Fifty Cents! Also, FREE Pony Rides, Petting Zoo, Face Painting and Clown for the kids!

If they have all of that I can bring my kids if I can't find a sitter....they like going there. The last time my brother took them my son & my nephew won big-time.

:wow :lol

Kori Ellis

08-09-2005, 03:45 PM

So do you want me to change this thread title to Friday?

Would you guys go this Friday?

KEDA

08-09-2005, 03:45 PM

I could do Friday

now if I can get someone else to go......

Kori Ellis

08-09-2005, 03:49 PM

I changed it to Friday. We'll probably go earlier in the day and bet on some of the simulcasts before the live racing starts. But people could come meet up anytime.

SWC Bonfire

08-09-2005, 03:49 PM

It would be harder to make it Friday, but since it starts later it's doable. How late do they race?

SpursWoman

08-09-2005, 03:49 PM

Yes, we'll be there.... :)

Kori Ellis

I think it's open until around 11pm or so.

We're actually going to hit a water park up there thursday. It reminds me a lot of Splashtown. All of Erica's family is going to be in town for her dad's 70th b-day. It actually should be pretty fun.

If anyone goes to Retama on Saturday night in August or Friday night in September and is a Time Warner customer then take your cable statement for free admission and discount food. I thought the commercial said free hot dogs but I may have heard wrong.

I don't know about this year but in years past .50 night was a zoo there with long lines for everything.

AlamoSpursFan

Put me down as a definite maybe. As usual...if I'm not working.

We've been out there this year for .50 cent Friday and it wasn't as bad as it has been but yeah, the lines can get long but you just have to time it right. I grab 2 beers and sometimes have the wife grab 2 even though she don't drink much.

It is a good time and I've even managed to win some money.

TheTruth

08-09-2005, 08:45 PM

If it's fun, and the concensus is to do it again, I'm in. I'm out of town this weekend, though. Have fun, and no one loan Duff any money!

Kori Ellis

08-11-2005, 11:01 AM

So who all is really coming?

Maybe since I'm going to be there early, I can get us a group of seats together.

MannyIsGod

08-11-2005, 11:11 AM

Depending on what time Jekka and I have our Friday Schananigans scheduled for, we may come out for a beer or 2 so that I can win it all and become rich. But we're doubtful.

Ginofan

08-11-2005, 02:27 PM

I'll most likely be there.

Kori Ellis

08-11-2005, 07:26 PM

If you guys tell us tomorrow by mid afternoon before we go, then I'll buy us a group of tickets together. And then you guys can just call me when you get there and I'll tell you where to meet up.

Anyone who needs my cell phone number, message me and I'll give it to you.

SpursWoman

08-11-2005, 07:28 PM

I'm in for 4 ... I already told them & they are excited. Can't turn back now or I will rot in bad-mommy hell. :)

Kori Ellis

08-11-2005, 07:49 PM

As far as I can tell, parking is $2.00. Admission is free because it's 50centFriday. And then Grandstand Box Seats are $2.00 per seat. If I have an idea how many people are coming, I'll just buy a group of box seats together for all of us and you guys can pay me when you get there.

So far I have confirmed:

Me and LJ (2)
SW, User and Kids (4)
KEDA and friend (2)
The Truth
Joe Chalupa (3?)
Bonfire
sa butta (2 plus 2 babies)
Manny and Jess
Greg
Ginofan

Maybe:

Spurschick
SequSpur
ASF

Who else?

so total 4.

I know you have a baby, so I don't think we need an official seat for her. How old is your friend's daughter?

Do you have my cell phone number to call when you get there?

sa_butta

Do you have my cell phone number to call when you get there?Her daughter is 2 but she looks much younger probably would not have to pay. Just PM me with your cell number and Ill call, she gets out of work at 7p so we will prolly show up about 8p.

Kori Ellis

08-12-2005, 12:31 PM

We are leaving at 2:00pm, so if anyone needs the cell number -- message SpursWoman or Manny after that and they can give it to you. But ask for my cell number, not LJ's -- he won't have his phone.

TheTruth

08-12-2005, 12:42 PM

I'm probably going to go with a fairly large group of friends that will probably just sit in the free seats. I'll definately go up to see you guys though, so save me a seat.

Cool. We'll see you there. I'm getting the $2 boxseats for our group only because since it's 50centFriday it's going to be packed - so that's the only way of guaranteeing sitting together.

I have reservations for 20 people.
