Take Me Out With the Crowd

Nana and Pa went to visit the bambino a couple weeks ago. Auntie C was the designated airport shuttler and cat caretaker while they were away. As a thank you, they took me to the ballpark yesterday. My not-so-secret crush was on the bench



as was Cuddy, but Justin and Danny were both playing, so that made me happy.





We had amazing seats



not that there's a bad seat in the house, really, but these seats were particularly sweet. :)

We lost, but what else is new? It was at least an interesting game and - funnily enough - right at the top of the 5th Nana said "Ok fellas, hit a home run now, let's get something going here." And then Hughes and Repko hit back-to-back homers to start the inning!

In a pleasant surprise, my friend Erik sang the national anthem for us



(dude, I thought you were moving out of the state. . .does this mean I'm going to see you at InVocation rehearsal this week?)


And, for the second time this season my old debate coach and I were at the same game and didn't know it until we were both posting about it on facebook after the fact. One of these days, Sunne, we'll figure these things out ahead of time so we can catch up in person at the game!

Next Tuesday there is a FREE event at the Bell Museum you might be interested in... How it All Began - TWINS. "A screening of two documentaries from the early days of the Minnesota Twins accompanied by a panel discussion with filmmaker Martin “Jim” Bovey Jr. (Wayzata) and journalist and author Doug Grow (Minneapolis)."

I was checking out the events calendar because I plan on going to The Dark Side of the Universe, which you could walk down to after the Twins movies...It's also FREE (with refreshments..it's a physics lecture so you might notice that they avoid stirring the coffee because they don't want to increase the entropy of the universe).

If you show up at 2:30 you could hear some music. You're so lucky...you could bike from Luther to the U of M St. Paul campus and take the Campus Connector and avoid paying for parking.
