Leave your hat on for SLC's Kentucky Derby parties
Folks in Salt Lake are dusting off the fancy hats and ironing their pastels for Saturday's Kentucky Derby.
Reality check: We can't bet. But we can dress, and we can drink (sort of).
How it works:"Post time" — when the horses are supposed to be at their gates — is at 4:57pm.
Coverage begins at 12:30pm on NBC.
The parties: The big bash at La Caille is sold out — but you can join a waitlist.
Don't worry — there are lots of options.
🚵 Ride along with Journalism, Sovereignty and Sandman — with the advantage of wheels — at the Derby-themed Tour de Brewtah. Decorate yourself or your bike for prizes, snap a pic with a horseshoe of roses and pick a "race course" of breweries to visit.
Be mindful: You can get a DUI on a bike under Utah law. (A horse, by contrast, is not a "device" for DUI purposes, per the Utah Supreme Court.)
When: Starts at 10am
Tickets: $30
🍹 The Derby Day party at Lake Effect includes a buffet, hat contest, photo ops, specialty cocktails, DJ'd music, a multi-screen race experience and the highest honor that winter-sportsy Utah could bestow on the state of Kentucky: a Woodford Reserve ice luge.
🍃 Grand America 's Derby Day fundraiser brings live music, treats and tipples to the lawn, with race-watching and commentary on the terrace — plus best-dressed prizes.

In Small-Town Germany, a Reporter Sees the Bigger Picture
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. As a reporter on the Obituaries desk at The New York Times, I write about the lives of famous — and not so famous — people who have left their mark on history. I also speak German, which is why I found myself spending the month of May in Berlin, filling in for a colleague. Before I left, I worked with a tutor to polish my conversational skills. I asked her if she had any fun ideas for articles I could pursue. 'Well, you know,' she said, 'the city of Bielefeld? Everyone says it doesn't exist.' About 300,000 people live in Bielefeld, but I'll admit that I was only vaguely aware it existed. To Germans, Bielefeld is the equivalent of, say, Scranton or Cedar Rapids — cities where the best you can say about them may be that you can't think of anything bad to say. For much the same reason that Scranton was the setting for 'The Office,' Bielefeld had become the butt of a joke. Like many jokes these days, it started online, though this one began back in 1993. It came in the form of a goofy conspiracy theory: that the existence of Bielefeld is a sham, and anyone who says otherwise is in on the plot. Over time, the town became a byword for boring. Songs were written about its utter blandness, including one performed by a talking slice of bread named Bernd — this is Germany, after all. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
