115 thousand for an exhibition game?

Erinn and I just got back from the Dodgers - Red Sox game at the LA Coliseum. They were expecting up to 115 thousand in attendance. I don't think it got that high, but it felt like it at times.

They encouraged people to park for free at Dodgers Stadium and they'd have shuttles to take people to the Coliseum. When we got there it was the biggest clusterfunk ever. Lines for miles, shuttles that held 15 people, it was a disaster. If we had gotten in line, we'd still be at Dodger Stadium. There was no one in charge. No police presence. No one guiding people around. Just one gigantic snake of humanity. We left and drove ourselves down to USC and parked in their garage for $20. Worth every penny.

We finally got there. Our tickets were General Admission - Standing Room Only, with an obstructed view of course. That meant we'd have to sneak in elsewhere...

We finally found some empty seats. They just happened to be the seats furthest from home plate. Once vertigo set in, it was time to leave.

Dollar Days at Santa Anita

Man, it's been forever since we've posted. Things are starting to get a little hectic as baby day rapidly approaches. Fortunately Wells and Leslie came into town this weekend so we were able to take a break from all that.

Behold, the $2 feast. Repeat as necessary.

We went into the infield long enough to take this picture and decide that it was too hot.

I probably bet on the blue horse.

While checking out the horses in the paddock, I noticed the handlers spraying Pam on the horse's hooves. This can mean only one thing: They're going to saute the horse if it loses.

We made Drudge!

The fuzz must not have heard me watching the Nebraska game on Tuesday. When you hear me describe South Pas as a small town, this is just one of the reasons. So close to LA, yet so far away.

New Glider

I can't tell if Erinn is mimicking Callie or if it's the other way around. We picked up our glider the other day and it has a strong resemblance to Chairry from Pee Wee's Playhouse, which makes it even more awesome.

Also, it's March 2nd, so...

Happy Texas Independence Day!
