Summer Outing to Arlington?
Yes, it is a ways off, but I was wondering if there is interest in a PA gathering some Sat or Sun this summer at Arlington? I was at the Spa last year for a few days and it was fun to hang around with others who are on PA. I am only envisioning a single day (versus the Spa week-plus). Not a particlarly formal event per se - we can look to snag a table or two just outside the grandstand.
It looks to me that there are a number of folks who are in the area (and anyone from outside would be welcome of course - Arlington is a very nice facility).
If you are interested, just reply here. We can organize, etc in April/May

CapperAl suggested this to me a few days ago...and I think it's a great idea.
Arlington is my home turf...and I would be more than happy to handle all the needed accommodations.
Meeting all you guys in person would be such a thrill to me, that I would beg you to allow me to treat you to dinner at the finest Greek restaurant in town.

In New York, we call them "diners".

Believe me...in Chicago they are different.
I may even be able to arrange for a couple of belly dancers...
Thaskalos' name is good all over Greektown... 
OPAAAAAA!!!!

Ahhh, yes....The Windy City :)
Would love to join you guys if I happened to be in my old home town at the time. Chances are very slim, though........
I did, however, just receive this tweet of the graded stakes schedule for Arlington Park this coming season. Thought it might be of use.......

Sounds like a fun day at the track!!!

Thaskalos -
You are 100% correct. I am originally from NY.....the Greek restaurants here are nothing like NY diners!!!
Very generous of you (though I'm happy to chip in for my portion). Is there a place near the track? Greektown would be a trek for folks I think.

I've heard good things of Yanni's on Algonquin in A.Heights. 
[Speaking of Yanni (the new age music nerd) I worked with him on some production music of yesteryear. What a wienie.]

pick a date, I'll be there.
I live within walking distance so the logistics of getting there are minimal.

He's anti-Semitic. I know he doesn't like you one iota.

Looking forward to AP opening!
