Hhah I missed those last posts because I was busy ranting about the state of Upper Midwest racing.

Anyway,
I'm the guy on the left. The Jamiroquai guy (they're actually a group... everyone thinks it's just one guy) is on the right.

To put in it perspective of the 8 questions originally posted as the subject of the site-
I'm 25... white, been going to school on and off for years (hence my 6 years without a degree). Watched horse racing casually for most of my life, got seriously into and the betting in my teens when Canterbury re-opened in the mid 90s.

But since I'm single, and work a lot, it affords to me to go on trips to see my favorite bands and play in handicapping contests occassionally. When Jamiroquai came to the U.S. for the first time since 9/11... yes that 9/11. They were scheduled to play a show in NYC that night, and have a subsequent U.S. Tour afterwards. It all (the tour) got cancelled because of 9/11, and their plane got grounded for 2 weeks after, so they couldn't leave the country.

They hadn't come back to the U.S. since, because they didn't do a new album, and they've never been that popular here. I mean everyone knows them for "Virtual Insanity" and "Canned Heat" (the song that Napolean Dynamite does his famous Vote for Pedro dance to). But these guys are my favorite group by far. So when they came back to the U.S, I wasn't gonna miss 'em. I saw their 2 shows in NYC, and then their show a week later in Chicago.

I post on Jamiroquai fan sites... kinda like the equivalent to derbytrail for horse racing fans. So through a person I met off the site, the person got me on the guest list for an afterparty at Bed in NYC after the 2nd show. That's where I got my pic with JK (the lead singer or "Jamiroquai guy") and the rest of the band members. Thrill of a life time, and the most genuine smile I've ever had lol.

And yes... in hindsight... he does look a little K-Fed-ish" in the pic lol
