    WHAT UP



    In the lotto for Missoula; looking forward to Glacier National Park this August (barring some bullshit wildfires).

    Powder blues to be worn on Thursday day games this year. I like it.

    Phillies tickets go on sale Thursday.  Gonna pick up tickets for all three Yanks games off the bat.

    But they're away jerseys, doesn't make sense. I always thought the idea of replacing the gray in their regular away unis with  powder blue for away day games would look pretty sweet.

    Tell that to the Sixers who wear blue almost every game. I can't stand that stuff. Home should be white.


    On a related note---the one negative about the Eagles winning the super bowl is that the kelly green dream, might be over? I know other teams have switched after they won (Broncos and Rams come to mind)--but the midnight green thing is a color the Eagles basically invented after Lurie bought the team. I think it's an ego thing with him to not go back. Hope I'm wrong.

    You're probably right. If there are two uniforms that SCREAM mid-to-late 90's uniforms it's New England's and the Birds (and Carolina's). If the Pats can switch up for the sometimes-used hiking Patriot throwbacks, then hopefully the Kelly Green can come back.

    Also, I believe the color scheme and logo were a creation of Lurie's ex-wife and rumor has it it's the only thing(other than the millions and millions of dollars) that Christine Lurie still has somewhat control over. 

    But I saw a shit ton of Kelly Green at the parade, plus there were all the he players wearing throwbacks.

    But, yeah, I think we're stuck with this garbage.

    Yup. I just hate seeing all the official SB Champs gear in black. Franchise has been around for 80 some years and only the last 20+ have featured black.....plus nobody seems to get midnight green correct. It either looks teal or some really dark version.

    You're telling me. I dropped $150 on shit on the Eagles website and I'm pretty sure none of it is in kelly or midnight green.

    Semi-related - got my notice of getting GA tix for the Montana show. Super pumped.

    Wowwww. Good for you. Was thinking about Seattle as well, but that much traveling with an 11 month old doesn't sound too appealing, and I think the wife would divorce me once we were home.

    Looking forward to getting to Montana for more than just the show as well, looks absolutely beautiful.

    Yeah the kids do put a kink in some wild plans.  Luckily that part of summer we can stash the 13 and 3 year old boys with their grandparents and they will have a ball.  Other is Labor Day and our In Laws are usually at our house all weekend anyway.  They can stay and we can go to the show and come back on Labor Day in time for pool and bbq.

    Soooo. Love Park.  Closed for 18 months...a shit load of tax money and it looks like all they did is fill in the fountain.  I pass by it every day and can't figure out what they hell they did to it.  Maybe areas of grass...sort of...

    Didn't it have to do with the structure - it wasn't sound or something? Isn't there a parking garage under it?

    There is a parking garage. That was always there, right? Maybe it did have to do with the structure. I just rememeber all the PR about how they’re renovating it and it looks basically the same

    I don't know. I never got the appeal of that dumb sign in the first place.

    Anyone know about the XPN Fest? Want to see War on Drugs and I see they are headlining the Saturday show but I don't see anything lined up for Sunday yet? Is there a chance they also do Sunday? Pumpkins are coming here that same Saturday and I want to see them for the 90's nostalgia. Saw Zwan but never the Pumpkins. And I don't care that Corgan is a crazy conspiracy theorist anymore. His music back in the day was the shit. 


    Anyone know about XPN Sunday?

    Yeah, I don't know. It's not even a Philly thing either, right?  Like I know New York has one too.

    All over - Portugal, Italy, Indianapolis, New York. Yeah.

    As for Juggs - no idea. You can do the creep move I've pulled in the past and sign up as a member at a level where you get free tickets and then immediately cancel said membership once you have your tickets.

    Danny Garcia fight night.

    Another Philly dude on the undercard too. Nothing wrong with two Philly fighters on the same card in Vegas
