I'll have a more detailed article up later about the amazing Tailgaters who are outside gate 10 at Churchill Downs, but first I wanted to say they're quite literally the friendliest people I've met at HullabaLOU. Don't get me wrong - this isn't the crazy aggressive cheek to jowl crowds of Derby. People are honestly happy to be here. Everyone I've spoken to so far is eager to meet strangers and in a mood to party.
