- Whoa...the Derby on there surprises me. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 11:44 10
  - I live in Lousville, and I'm pretty sure I never want to go to the track for Derby. Crazy gross. Locals go to the Oaks . . . and the rest of them. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 14, 11:51 4
    - Heh, I grew up in the Ft. Knox area and went to about 8-9 Derbys. - Trish Jan 14, 12:03 2
      - Right. Derby is generally for the very rich and the very poor to get faced, one with another. Even infield tickets are gotten expensive now, though. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 14, 12:15 1
        
        -are+have. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 14, 12:15

      - I would want to go to the SB if the Ravens were in the game. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 14, 11:52
      - yeah, i love horse racing. i'd go to the breeder's cup or even the preakness or belmont, but never the derby...nm - x Jan 14, 11:50 1
        
        If you want to avoid a large crowd of drunks, avoid the Preakness as well. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 14, 11:56
Did anyone else look at Dawson's video and think "That is some chandelier!"? No? OK... -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 11:41 2

    - Yikes. *fingers crossed* -- nm - Don Homer Jan 14, 11:42
This is stupid, but can someone go to the URL within and tell me if you can get the video to play? Thanks. -- (link) - Mop Jan 14, 11:36 3

    - Toyota has the Highlander and Lexus models, in addition to the Prius. -- nm - psilotum Jan 14, 11:51 2
      - Lexus wouldn't be counted in those numbers, I don't think. Just Prius, Camry, and Highlander. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 11:52 1
        
        Perhaps not. I got that from this article. -- (link) - psilotum Jan 14, 12:11

LA Palooza. What say you STers? - con_carne Jan 14, 11:35 7
- Anytime! I suggested this place the other day. - CrankYanker Jan 14, 11:45 6
  - That seems very nice, but quite a hike for me. I'd need a ride -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 11:48 5
    - I could go if it's a Sunday -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 11:50 4
      - Sunday afternoons in the canyon are beautiful! -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 14, 11:51 3
        
        Did other TTers say anything? If not, maybe something more central would motivate folks. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 11:58 1
        
        Just let me know when and where!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 12:09
        
        I can see it now... :-) -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 11:52

repost: who needs Quark's? -- (link) - ty97 Jan 14, 11:34
I think if I were 10 years younger (or maybe even 5), I'd want to visit New Orleans for Mardi Gras. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 11:32 32
- I enjoyed strolling Beale St in Memphis on NYE, even though I was under 21 and couldn't go in anywhere. -- nm - psilotum Jan 14, 11:40 1
  - That IS fun as well. Memphis is a cool town. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 11:43
- I've been twice. It falls into the same category as Vegas for me. - ty97 Jan 14, 11:37 4
  - I think a lot of people "love" going to Vegas. But a few days later, they probably love leaving Vegas even more. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 11:44
  - I like vegas best from an anthropological standpoint or for what it does for me in terms of self-realization. vegas kind of centers me. - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 11:39 2
    - I love it socially, that it brings large groups of friends together for a few days -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 11:46
    - It's like Bones, but with gambling! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 11:45
- The best time to go to New Orleans, IMO, is on a football weekend when the Saints are in town. especially if they're playing a team close to them - Jim Jan 14, 11:37 1

    - it's so good. And I had alligator there. -- nm - Callisto Jan 14, 11:52 1
      - me too! -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 11:56
    - For me...this is one of the highlights of the trip. And not every great restaurant down there is real expensive. - Jim Jan 14, 11:42
- I've never (even in my younger days) had the slightest desire to visit New Orleans. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 11:35 8
  - I get the sense that NO might be too hip for me at the same time that I think it's too slow and easy for me. I don't think I would be happy there. -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 11:38 7
    - It always seemed more sleezy than anything else to me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 11:43 1
      - Well, you're not exactly wrong. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 11:45
    - I think you'd have a good time. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 11:39
    - nah, it's good. good food, we can play video poker, just walking around it great, go mock Anne Rice's house. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 11:39 3
      - do you remember how you and I played true confessions over video poker? jonathan somehow figured out that - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 11:43 1
        
        ah, video poker in our socks and pajama pants. good times, good times. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 11:58
      - I LOVE the Garden District. I can spend an afternoon wandering around in there, just looking at the houses and stuff. nm - Jim Jan 14, 11:40
- I've only been to the Big Island (3 times, though). I love it, but I'd also love to visit any of the others. -- nm - psilotum Jan 14, 11:35

  - [deleted] 2
    - I'm SO there, dude. NOLA 2010!!! -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 11:37 1
      - thank goodness i have a passport! (i think Nola is a good match for ST). -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 11:38
- I'd love to go there, but definitely not for Mardi Gras. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 14, 11:34 1
  - Jazzfest. -- nm - Inigo Jan 14, 11:35
- If I ever go, I wanna go the week prior to Mardi Gras. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:33 1
  - When I went, it was the week after. The place was trashed and everybody was pretty chill. Still a great time, though. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 14, 11:33
