yes, yes it did. I couldn't resist it. Still not sure exactly what it was it just gave me a headrush for a little while. as far as the hotel goes, I honestly don't remember how I heard this, but apparently that Holiday Inn has now become an upscale rental property, catering to the moneyed Saratoga race crowd. It was absolutely perfect though - leave the hotel and then go for a Summer's hike. 30 Min later you pop out of the woods and BANG you're at the entrance of SPAC. Awesome experience, awesome shows, IMO. The "southern BBQ" was awesome also, for being in upstate NY!
