Weekend Wrapup
This was a pretty fun weekend. There was so much to do. I had choice among some of my favorites: Cards vs Cubs, Air Show, a MU Football game, Blues game, Schlafly Beer fest, and an old neighbor leaving for Cali. Fortunately, I got to knock a lot of these out.
Friday was the Cubs vs Cards game. I knew a bunch of groups going so I decided to get First Pitch tickets so I woke up late and went and got my ticket voucher before work. The line was longer that I expected and it went pretty slow so I was 45 mins early and waited another 45 mins after the window opened. I bet I was probably #75 in line and I really doubt they went through all the tickets by noon so I bet these tickets are available almost every day till close to game time. Needless to say, my friend had to work late but we still got in with standing room tickets. All in all, I paid $5.50 for a standing room tix instead of the $30 through the conventional ways. The game itself was pretty awesome. My boy Matt Holliday hit a walk off homerun to win the game. We then went to Paddyo’s for a while then Lucas Park then the Wash Ave diner.
What seemed like hours later, I woke up to friends coming over for some pre Air Show drinks and some college Gameday. We then went to the Scott Air Force base air show. It was pretty awesome. You can find all the picture here. My favorite part was Tora! Tora! Tora! which is a depiction of the Pearl Harbor bombing. I liked it because they blew up a lot of stuff. I unfortunately got really sun burnt but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. We then went to Show-me’s for dinner and watched the end of some good foosball games then went to Paddyo’s to celebrate another Cards walkoff hit to win the game. I was super close to not going to Paddyos and calling it a day but I love that place and immediately woke up as soon as I got there. I stayed there for a pretty long time then went back to my place to get ready to meet up with the Wash U folks at Bar Louie. It was a good time. It seems like I committed to Chicago for Halloween so I guess I need a costume. I rounded out the night with some Pepper Lounge.
Sunday was boring. I slept some but then watched football along with enjoyed the start of the new Fall lineup. I was not impressed with Bored to Death. I can’t wait for Dexter and Californication next week!
