Lowrider Convention

The hotel we are staying at here in Greensboro has turned into a Lowrider car show. 

The Cinco de Mayo Lowrider Convention Car Show is today from 10:00-5:00 PM at the Greensboro Coliseum, which is actually only 4-5 miles up the road from our hotel. 

The parking lot has essentially turned into a 24-hour tailgate.  When we got back to the hotel last night at 11:00 PM, the parking lot was jammed full of people hanging out by their cars. 

I never thought that people were so into their lowriders.  There are actually lowrider groups that are displaying their flags on the hotel balconys.

Today is the series finale.  I believe there is a chance of rain today.  The last thing anybody wants is a delay.

Jedidiah Stephen won the friendly pool for the Kentucky Derby yesterday.  Although he had a long-shot, Bird That Mine pulled it out for Stephen.  Basically, 19 players participated and each had a horse. 

The hotel is letting us check out at 1:00 PM today, which is fantastic!  Today is a “Show and Go” day.  No batting practice or infield/outfield. 

Until next time, Go Shorebirds!
