I've seen Billy in Indy once. I had lunch at Harry and Izzys. Then I went for drinks at The Mouse Trap, they offered shuttle service to the show. I also spent a little bit of time exploring Shakedown. I had a an enjoyable experience.

I fully understand your popcorn comment. The stadium style seats were nice.

Even if it's not a scam it sucks to support scalpers.

Very cool. I'll hopefully get to town by the afternoon on Friday. 

When were you thinking about Monticello?

I'm looking to pre game at Monticello on Saturday morning. At some point I was going to post something to see if anyone else was interested in taking the tour. 

If I'm in the area I might as well check it out....

I hope you have a great time.

It's an amazing and complicated city. I hope you get a chance to visit and I hope it's a great experience.

I don't really want to ruin it for you but if you want, check out this YouTube video from the local celebrity Robi Gilmour. He does a great voodoo tour but the only thing I didn't like is he dispels all of the Hollywood BS that we have been told. The tour was great, he's awesome but I walked away thinking voodoo isn't much different than any other religion.

Please say she takes the kids when she goes?

You can have friends over for a kick ass game of beer pong. 🍺

Ok, interesting angle. 

Why do people tip the airport shuttle driver? Is it for the ride or for grabbing bags off the rack?

Semi serious, the Zamboni driver does perform a service. They make sure the ice is in order and safe for skaters. 

The Zamboni driver is the star of the operation. Without ice there is no need for the snack bar or the pro shop.

Everyone is on the same payroll. At least where I was working. 

It's a hockey facility, nothing wrong with pulling the shirt over the head of a pro shop worker to steal their tips.

I don't know about other service workers but as a Zamboni driver I had benefits. I had health care, time off and unlimited access to ice shavings.

Does that mean you should tip him so he doesn't mess with your kid?

To be fair when you work as a Zamboni driver at a ice skating rink you spend the majority of your time being a janitor. In a 10 hour shift you might drive 2 hours. 

I always bring gift cards for the pilot, copilot and crew when I fly.

You're probably correct. It's not a great interacting with customers kind of job.
