YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!! Thanks to everyone who responded with their watch party information. I think we have most of the world covered. From Seattle to Afghanistan to Beijing, Cats fans will be gathering for the Final Four game against Wisconsin. I have 60+ listed here now, but that only includes three that were sent to me from Lexington. I’d say there will be 60 in Lexington alone. Let’s get to the list, it’s a long one.

Randy emails and says:
“There are no bars in Beijing that will open in the morning for a few Cats fans. My wife and I graduated in 2000, and 2001, and have been in China for 7 years, still not sure why. We have a met a few Cats fans over here, and we get together from time to time. We are ready for this thing to be over, cause getting up at 2 and 4 am to drink is taking a toll on our health. I understand if you can’t post about someones house, but all are invited… If you post it, leave my email for RSVP.”
Randy’s email is randy.hoffacker@me.com. Anybody else want to hop on a flight with me to Beijing and watch with Randy? Woah, not everyone at once.
Go Cats! And go to a watch party near you!
