i know … santa anita is beautiful, but hollywood park smells like home. plus, it’s a shitload closer to the west side. say it ain’t so …

Shit, I’ll miss Hollywood Park. Santa Anita is definitely the superior track, but Hollywood Park always had the right ratio of scumbags. I’ll never forget the Heatseeker race. One of my happiest moments at the track. I knew that fucking horse was gonna win for at least the last 3rd of the race – an unbeatable feeling.

i did indeed see a man self-induce-projectile-vomit on a card table in the intended direction of an opposing player . it was one of the most astonishing things i’ve ever seen and shortly thereafter it made me reconsider how much time i was spending in the casino.

based on what you’ve told me about the scene at commerce, hollywood park must be real, real, real, real bad. if i recall correctly, one night at commerce you witnessed a grown man intentionally vomit on a card table, did you not? shit, if that goes on at commerce, somebody’s probably taken a shit on a table at hollywood park. ‘here, i’ll see your cum rag, ass hole, and i’ll raise you two turds …’

yeah, notice that i said i like the “idea” of being able to play cards there, as opposed to “i like playing hold em at hollywood park.” if someplace is too fucked up for me to play hold em at, then that place is really fucked up. i always had the sense that i might get mugged at the table. possibly by the dealer.

i remember one time christian and i were heading over to the casino after a day at the track, and he was all concerned with being ‘underdressed.’ i was like, ‘man, this place is a total shit hole. don’t worry about it. look at the cars in the valet lot, for fuck’s sake. that’s a 1994 sentra.’ we took two step inside the place and he goes, ‘jesus. let’s get the fuck out of here.’

although i personally like santa anita better, it would still be a sad day to see hollywood park gone. i like the idea that you can go to the races and then play 1-2 dollar hold em next door.
