last friday, mari and i went to the del mar race track for the first time. we went with some friends from work and met at my co-worker anthony's apartment, which is just up the hill from the race track. we got to anthony's around 230 and first post wasnt until 4, so we pregamed it a little bit at his pad, then walked down in time for the 4th race.

Beers were super expensive at the track so we just bought sodas and mixed em with alcohol that we snuck in (cheap!). But this would all be for nothing since the del mar racetrack became san diego's largest hotbox that evening. Friday's at the track meant 4 o'clock Fridays, and there was always a concert, and the performers for the evening were the wailers! as in, bob marley and the wailers. bob marley himself didnt make it, i think he was sick or something...but the concert was dope nonetheless. the wailers pretty much played all of his songs, along with some of their original songs. as soon as they started playing, 90% of the crowd started smoking cigarettes, but it was weird because it didnt smell like cigarettes, i dont know, but i left there feeling reallllly good.

before the wailers (note the presence of children...c'mon!)

wailers on stage, everyone getting their cigarettes outwhat it looked like after breathing in said cigarette smoke

we're goin back to del mar this friday if anyone wants to go. its a lot of fun, i promise...hit me up.

ps. i didnt win anything from betting on the horses, but mari won some dough....$7.50. ballin!
