    Friend in pittsburgh just texted me that phils and flyers are both out there the weekend of april 7th.

    This kid has me off my game. A few years ago I would have had this trip planned already

    That's funny dude. Think I will actually be in San Fran the week after that when the Phillies are there.

    Fuck me, my 2 week bender just caught up to me.

    one of these days I will get out to that park in SF.

    I hear you about the holidays. I have been off for almost 2 weeks. I'm excited to get back into the swing of things tomorrow

    Yeah, I was out in January of this year and it looks great. Looking forward to it. Think me and the woman are going to do a couple days in San Fran and a couple days in Napa. Can't wait to see that park, it looks awesome. Has to be one of the best looking parks in baseball, if not the best.

    I have no interest in going to work tomorrow and it's going to be a busy day. Fuck, I am getting a headache just thinking about it, and I like my job.

    My national sales meeting was in San Diego a few years ago. We stayed at the Hard Rock which is a block from Petco. Looked awesome. Sucks it was January. SD and SF are the two parks I'd love to get to. One of these years the phils will have a road trip where they hit those cities and I will make that trip.

    Sounds gay, but I'd love to do Napa one time too. My wife will be out there in March for a bachelorette party, which I find pretty hilarious. That's the last place a group of guys would pick for a bach party.

    I really need to get this bach party planned for March - May.

    That's pretty sweet. I have heard really good things about that stadium too. Would love to get there. That would definitely be a good trip.

    Yeah, man. I am looking forward to it. I hear its a beautiful area and nothing wrong with eating and drinking well for a few days. That is pretty funny about her party, definitely the last place for dudes. Yeah, man, that's tough. Is it looking like AC with people being a pain in the ass?

    I've already been shot down on Puerto Rico and Montreal. People are saying key west or clearwater (phils spring training). neither of those would be my first choice. there are a handful of us that will go somewhere if it ends up being lame AC. We did that crap when we were 24. Lame

  • SF ballpark is really beautiful and fun, but I thought the SD ballpark was kind of ugly. But it's still San Diego, can't go wrong. Make sure you have a jacket for night games at either of those, even in July. I froze my ass off in San Diego. We saw the oddest interleague matchup there: Royals vs. Padres. And about 9 home runs in the ultimate pitchers' park in that game.

    Wife and I went to Sonoma one time (7 years ago I think :!: ) on the CA ballpark trip. It was totally awesome. But yea, not the place for a bachelor party. I hear Napa is a joke and we avoided it. Wine is the best. 8-)

    Yeah, I heard the SF ballpark is really chilly pretty much all season. Should be fun though. Have to work out the logistics still, Yanks and Knicks schedules are kind of screwing things up, but may not have much of a choice in the matter.

    Pretty funny about the PAdres, 2 shitty teams hitting that many home runs in a huge park.

    We could certainly do Sonoma, I did about 2 seconds of research on Napa and am not married to it at all. What did you hear is a joke about Napa? I also heard recently there are a lot of great brewery tours around SF as well and just outside of the city. May have to check that out.

    That blows. Montreal is a good time. Would imagine PR would be great too. AC blows.

    Kind of like Napa has become the Disney World of wine. I kind of just like to chill out and maybe talk to the people who make the wine, as opposed to being in a wine theme park. I haven't been though; I'm sure some places are good. I also don't like Napa wine itself all that much; I don't get the hype.

    If you do Sonoma I'll PM you with some places to go that were cool. There's a town called Healdsburg we had lunch in that seemed awesome, and i think it has some good breweries/brewpubs too.

    Yeah, that makes sense. Probably why that is the first place I thought of. I am far from an expert on wine but would certainly dig the more laid back place a bit more. Any information would be great and most appreciated.

    Priced out a trip to New Orleans for first weekend of NCAA tourney. and St Pats day is that saturday. Only 750 bucks a dude for round trip, non stop flights, 3 nights in hotel on bourbon (one room has balcony overlooking the street).

    If this gets shot down I'm done. AC will be weak if we end up doing that.

    Booked our flights for New Orleans. Leaving Friday before St Pattys Day, coming back that monday. It's also the first weekend of the NCAA tourney. And spring break.

    Oh boy, this is gonna be awesome.

    New Orleans is a wise choice. Plenty of prostitutes.

    I don't understand the big deal about the schools. Who cares?

    My high school could close tomorrow. I would spend a second thinking about it. Wouldn't care at all.
