Friday The 13th 8/13/2004

My dad had a 1 in 100 chance to win a car from KCJJ at Hawkeye Downs.

My dad.  (Known to KCJJ listeners as "Gene Gene The Joke Machine".)

PJ from Checkers Tavern wishes dad luck.

Dad with the other 99 qualifiers, waiting for the last heat race to end.

One of the first 15 people starts the car and wins.  My dad didn't even get to try his key, but it was worth it to hear him bust out, "I haven't been here since before I met your mother."  Back then, the Modifieds were still "Regulars", the Late Models were on-time, and the Super-Stocks were just "pretty okay". *rimshot*

For some reason, after the races Dad didn't want to join me at 3rd Street Live for the post-Slipknot/Slayer/God Forbid concert party.  So I ventured on without him...

Anderson.	Diane and JagerOzzy, servin' up the Jagermeister.	Anderson, Jaymz Larson and Shannon Appleby.	Shannon and Jaymz check out the front door.
V.I.P. pass?  Check. Beer?  Check. Cigarette? Check.	Shannon gets roughed up.	Me and...this guy.	JagerOzzy is getting weary.
Anderson is working angles.	An aerial shot of Jaymz.	Anderson continues to work.	Now THAT'S cold Jager!
Beer.	Jaymz, Jerry Seigel, and Anderson.	Me with hat issues.
