If you heard an ad on Q101 or WCKG with one of those "sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!" type voices, then it's at Hawthorne Race Course in Cicero this weekend. I think the place was like amazing buy.com or something like that, not buy.com. Buy.com is getting out of the entertainment biz(i.e. dvds) though. I called Hawthorne about an hour ago - free parking, $5 admission.

Hope this Helps

Buy.com has not confirmed that they are getting out of the entertainment media business, only that they will not continue to focus on it.

They aren't closing, they are just dropping the foreign sites.
