Lost photos, DQ'd cinches, and bad beat stories are a dima dozen in this game. Occasionally one is worth repeating.
My dear friend, horse racing enthusiast, music junkee, and all around wonder-girl Kes is in New York while on military leave. She's busy going to every indie concert she can at night, and spending a few of her days at the track. On one of these she nailed an impossible pick 3. With a small ticket she singled a horse at 17-1 that resulted in a payoff well into four digits.
She knew immediately what to do with the windfall. A band, She & Him, Kes's been touting to me since long before their first album came out in March were playing a small venue. She blew her mutuel take to be within panty flinging distance from the performers.
The show is tonight. Was tonight. It's postponed due to illness, but she has been assured her tickets will be honored at a later date. Chances are she'll be back in Iraq by then.
