I'm in Tallahassee this weekend working on my house here. I have no cable on the best tv race weekend of the year. Anyone know if any of the chain sports bars have F1 fans who gather to watch the race together? Looking for someplace to get my fix.

Likewise, I'm up in Seattle (5am race time). Tried to find any hotel with Speed with no luck. For qualy this morning, I used Justin.tv (and whatever it linked to after that) and I also have the F1 timing app for my android phone (free & awesome).

I'm currently trying to find a 24 hour restaurant with speed, but I'm running out of time. I may have my sister in switzerland point her skype camera at the swiss broadcast (but it would be in german) or just wing in online.

Also, this is my 1st time watching the BBC coverage. The coultard / brundle / jordan commentary is painful - they all sound like pompous a-holes. Speed's coverage is 10x better.

Yeah, missed the race, but I'm heading to a sports bar now that says they have one screen that stays on Speed no matter what, so I hope to catch the replay. Supposed to have a couple showing Indy also.

Speed is showing it tomorrow (Monday) 11:30 I think - I got glimpses of it online but totally it was hardly worth the effort (low quality). Note to self, dont close out a bar @ 2am and expect to wake up easily @ 4:45 :)
