Phillies Game

Monika scored field level seats to last night’s Phillies game complete with free VIP parking. And amazingly, I had the night off. We pregamed a little bit, grabbed our two friends to come along with us, and headed out.

We don’t watch baseball. I couldn’t even tell you more that two players on the Phillies, and even that would be a guess. I don’t know the starters, the manager, the coach. Shit, I don’t even know all the rules, official or not. But, I do know that watching baseball during the summer is a great time.

We scored our vegan cheese steaks from the stadium, Sam spilled her french fries, Monika nearly got me in a fight with some punks sitting behind us, I nearly caught a foul ball, and the Phillies ended up hitting a grand slam at the top of the 8th to win the game the next inning. It was an awesome time, and quite memorable (I also I took pictures).

Miley Cyrus – Wells Fargo Center – Philadelphia – August 2nd, 2014

I know it sounds ridiculous. I’m almost 40. I’m married, have a house, two cars and an amazing career. But no teenage kids. So I have no excuse to hide behind when I say… I like Miley Cyrus. Not all of it, mind you. Some of it’s throw away material. But hey, the last couple Radiohead albums weren’t exactly filled with timeless gems either. Actually most of her songs are pretty fucking catchy, and have skilled producers and programmers behind them, so it’s no wonder that they come across as great pop songs. And, like it or not, you must admit that she’s an amazing and very talented singer (check out the backyard sessions if you don’t believe me).

So, after a 3 month delay because of a “reaction to antibiotics,” we finally caught up with Miley in Philly last weekend. Here are the pics and videos.
