Last weekend was pretty tame. I FINALLY got some of the much needed rest that I needed. Friday J and I went to the Brewers game after work. We were going to tailgate but of course Mother Nature had her way and it was cold and rainy so we just had a couple beers in the car and listened to the tunes. The game was fun mostly in part to us sitting in the Beer Pen area. If anyone wants a good deal hit up the Beer Pen on Brewers Friday night home games. It’s $10 for a ticket and sweet throwback Brewers t-shirt. You have to request the Beer Pen when you buy the tickets. They rope off the right field loge level and make it into a private bar area, it’s pretty sweet. There was the roaming inflatable Miller bottle that J got her picture with. Besides that the only other thing that is worth mentioning was that I ate 6 hot dogs because they were only a $1 for spring madness. The Crew won and we headed home. I was beat so I called it a Friday night.
Saturday was equally uneventful. J and I met up with Todd and Stephanie and we hit Joey Buona’s. We got the family style sit down dinner and we ate until we were comatose. I did run in to an old acquaintance from my Primate Center days. If you’re reading this, hi Monique. Since I could barely walk after dinner, going out was out of the question. We headed home and I got a good 10 hours of sleep.
Sunday we decided to hit the Crew game again. Since it was spring madness tickets were only $2.50 so why not hit up the game. This one we met Erica, Ostrenga, Delahunt, Stephanie, and Stephanie’s cousin in the parking lot for a little tailgate action. Erica had some leftover wop from her Mifflin St. party so we had a warm Sunday morning (Erica was a little warmer than the rest.) The game was a lot of fun. We snuck behind home plate about 25 rows back. Todd and I had a hot dog eating contest. I was only able to down 10 (disappointing by personal standards) but Todd only ate 8 so I was the victor. I actually ran into my Aunt and Uncle who were up from Florida watching Craig so I talked to them a bit. The Crew ended up losing but we were really there for the dogs and cheap tickets. It was the most fun I’ve had on Sunday for a while. Overall a very satisfying weekend. I managed to intertwine sobriety, fun and 20+ hours of sleep.
