Sporting Events and Jessica

I'm going to a DC United game tonight with Eric and some buddies. I'm not exactly a Sports freak but it's always fun to go to professional sporting events, if for no other reason, it's fun to tail gate! And it's a good excuse to drink beer in the middle of the day, morning, or work week!

These are the professional sporting events I've been to:

The San Antonio Spurs
The Baltimore Orioles
The Washington Redskins
The Washington Nationals
The Washington Capitols (twice)
DC United (three times)

I think my favorite was the Redskins game although I got so drunk that I don't remember too much except how green the grass was and how much better it was to watch it live! I also learned that beer costs $6 at Fed Ex field and when you start drinking them in the morning you will be shit-faced and broke by the end of the day!

Years ago I went to a DC United game and experienced my first tail gate party. It was complete with boys, burgers and beers! I was kind of tipsy by the time the game started and we weren't seated in a shaded part of the stadium. It was summer. It was HOT. I continued drinking and got so hot and drunk that when the first half was over, and my group and I started walking the ubber steep stairs to the vendor area, I started to feel all wobbly and light headed. I started leaning back, about to fall down a gazillion concrete stairs to my death, when a friend of mine lightly put his hand on my back and held me up. He saved my life. Lesson learned there too I guess...drink water on hot days, not beer.

Tonight I'm going to take it easy on the beer and it's a night game so I won't have to worry about the sun baking me in to a roasted fan. I'll update you tomorrow with any life lessons that come up....
