the clippers game

decided to take a few gc guys to the clippers game last night. my boss has been telling its fun and cheap, so i said what the hay, lets go. drove down to the grove, picked up the twins and texas and headed to huntington park. this place was unreal, i agree with the critics, it might be the best ballpark is all of pro baseball right now. $6 for standing room tickets is great, you are only 17 rows up from the field; this is far better than sitting in the nose bleed at great american for $5. the concession prices were reasonable, and thank god they serve pepsi. oh, and the clippers won.

highlights:
-we got there early, so there was a pre-game concert, the leader singer, a lady, was terrible, we laughed at her (too loud probably)
-watched some guy get drilled in the eye by a foul ball, the system for needing ems when someone is injured is quite simple, just wave your hat in a circular motion
-found some girl from gc whose dad paid $100 for four tickets for first row seats, it was her younger brother's bday and they were sold out, so daddy bought the kid $25/person tickets
-made fun of pawtucket fans and players all night
-after the 6th inning for first row seats (a section over from our friend and her family) for free
-dropped my sunglasses on the field
-watched some cameraman have a heartattack (this what the drunk guys next to us told us) and the game got delayed for 20 minutes
-asked the left outfielder for a ball for three staight innings (never got one)
-watched two old men get hammered and look like fools
-oh and the clippers won.

moral of the story, GO!

crazy week

this week may have been one of the more crazier weeks i have had in quite some time, whats more crazy is that for some people this would have been a slow week.

wednesday at club was the most discombobulated young life event i have been at in eight years, or since my introduction to the ministry. i'm out some money, someone lit off a stink bomb, no planing was done; it was awesome.

got to go back out to VA this weekend. we, dylan and i, accomplished our goal of finding the memorial tunnel (now my life is complete). but, as soon as you cross over the river into wv, you come into ravenswood. ravenswood has a town slogan: where character counts. this might be the most embrassing thing i have ever seen a town display, this town wants to be remembered by their citizens' character, strange.
