derby day

so yesterday was one of the most fun days in a long time. pictures to follow as i ddint' take any, a move i regret, but others did. soooo. yesterday i went to the santa anita derby, the premier west coast horse race before the kentucky derby. I went with 100 people dressed in orange prison jump suits in 2 huge greyhoud ish busses. My friend pete puts this party on every year. at 10:30am 100 people were at his house wearing orange prison suits he provided, drinking mint juleps and eating mini donuts that a woman was making fresh in his backyard and the entire house was wapped in yellow police line do not cross tape. He was dressed as the warden, and he asked myseld and 3 friends to be sexy prison guards, a role i took very seriosuly in my sargeant sexy outfit. He praised me as did the other about my ability to stay in character the entire time even though while chasing some of the prisoners around the horse track, i aquired some gnarly bruises. anyway, we all get on the busses head up to the track, and scare the shit out of the many people who were there to enjoy the horse races. on woman came up to my friends in the prison outfits and asked if it was okay that children were around. some people didn't know what was going on and just stared, some didnt' even notice 100 people in orange jumpsuits, others were afraid, it was pretty priceless. imagine going some where and seeing that. anyway, on the bus up, they had a soundtrack of prison songs like jailhouse rock, etc. pete thought of every detail. we get to the track, head over to the picnic area and started drinking and eating and gambling, such a great day, no rain and the track is beautiful. The valaquez family was having a private party near where our tables were and there was no line at that bar in there so i got my beers there and made a request with the Dj for son of a preacher man. Oh, it's so fun being drunk and thinking you're funny. I lost all my money on the ponies, although i only be on one race and didn't pick the favorite horse, i'm always trying to be different. On the bus ride home we all passed out. the whole day was genius and none of the "prisoners" got out of line, thanks to me, sargeant sexy. next up, i'll have to tell you later about my attendance at Paul reiser's 50th birthday party where a few celebs were in the house. that was last night too. oh one quick note, ran into one of the ex's friends at the derby party, and she told me he's started dating someone else. always a tough pill to swallow.
