Mr. B and I attended this shin-dig today...and quite free I might add. 2 thumbs up to the lady at will call. Even though someone made a boo-boo on our tickets, she happily gave us two passes for the day. (Will Call Lady you are a superstar!)
I have to say that I was quite impressed with the event that WM put on; being there in person makes watching it on television seem unreal. I couldn't believe how many people were actually there. Though quite rowdy in several areas, the event was well organized. For the MOST part, the Pro Em workers were courteous and friendly.
Parking was free and they had nice buses to transport to and from the course. WM had plenty of concession stands spread out throughout the course. I can only imagine how much money was made on beer and water alone. I paid $4 for a bottle of water; thats an entire 24pack from Sam's thank you very much! To think if only 1/4 of the attendees purchased ONLY water. The only downside was the main grub station (where all the main food vendors were). It appeared as though there were 5k sardines packed into a corner; it was absolutely absurd.
It is quite the event to people watch; wasn't surprised at the spectacle that people made of themselves. We'll be back though. Mr. B and I could ALWAYS use a good laugh.
