On Friday, September 28, we all headed back to Bay Meadows to celebrate Evelyn and Louie’s Birthday. The evening started out with a buffet dinner in the Turf Club. The club is located in a glass enclosed grandstand area with dinner tables set up on different tiers so all can have a view of the track.

Each table also has a small television monitor so you won’t miss any part of the action. The club was sold out for the night as every table was booked. It gave us a glimpse of how it must have felt during the track’s hey day back in the ’30s when Seabiscuit raced here 4 times.

I liked the buffet, but i was really hungry so I wasn’t in a critical mood. Elaine really liked the green pasta. She went back several times for it and even dedicated an entire plate for just the pasta. She ate so much of it she was looking to borrow a thick jacket to cover her full stomach. The drink orders kept getting screwed up, and after several wrong deliveries, I got what I ordered and it wasn’t watered down, so that was okay.

Ethel couldn’t wait to bet and during dinner had a feeling on 3 horses who she thought would finish at the top. She placed her standard Trifecta Box bet and as usual…her horses came in 1, 2 and 3. She won again, although not her normally huge payout, apparently others had the same feeling, I guess.

We then moved downstairs to check out the horses and the racing up close. Once there we hooked up with Justin who was doing fine. His camera has gotten alot smaller and it is attached to a strap on his back pack so he can be hat free now. He got us up to speed with what’s going on at the site.

He also told me his national television appearance on “Morning’s with Mike and Juliet” (KTVU FOX 2, 9am, Mon thru Fri) was taped and will be shown sometime this week. He was in New York and supposed to appear on the show last Tuesday but was bumped when the show ran long with Battered Teens and Cheating Husbands. He also said that beginning Oct. 1st (today) his site was opening up to anyone who wanted to broadcast live. All you need is a camera and a computer and you can start your own Justin.tv. However, if you want to be a true lifecaster you have to be mobile and you’ll have to find the equiptment to do that. But it’s not hard, if you need advice on equipment or want to know where to lease them contact jacob@justin.tv.

Champcast Waves, Week 4
Although our opponent still has some points coming his way from tonight’s NFL matchup, only a miracle from New England’s Defense can pull the Winky Dinky Dawgs over the Waves who are on their way to being 2-2 for the season. With 140 points, the Waves were the top scoring team in the league this week. General Manager, Gabe, dumped Drew Brees, and pulled a rabbit out of his hat and picked up Marshall University alum, Chad Pennington from the New York Jets, who produced 22 points for the Waves this week. But the game ball has to go to Wide Receiver Dwayne Bowe of the Kansas City Chiefs who scored an amazing 45 points. Bowe, a rookie, caught 8 passes for 164 yards, including a 51 yard touchdown pass! Go Waves!
