soft confirmation!

Saturday, April 21st, Lora and I will be at our FIRST BASEBALL GAME OF THE SEASON!

Angels v Orioles

the promotional give away is a sweet Angels baseball cap!

Then June 2nd we'll be going to the Angels v Rangers game.

the promotional give away that game is a Angels Cowboy hat! hahaha

but I just realized that we might not be able to go to that game...unless Lora's able to get all her work done for end of month book close (she's an accountant)

but yay! Baseball! and I got a good deal. the seats aren't super high up and they're $20!

I've never been to a baseball game... It's not very popular over here. I'd love to go sometime though :) Hope you have lots of fun! :)

I'm not an avid fan, but I love going out and being around people having a good time, and some of the players are rather cute.

If you ever come to the US between April and September, you should try to go to a game. the only thing I don't like is that at live games you don't hear the play by plays that the announcers do on the radio or tv

Yay baseball! Apparently the Dodgers had some kind of viewer's party thing to see the Dodgers opener for free today, but it'd be too hard for me to get there for it.

I wanted to go to the Angels opener, but the seats I wanted were $40 and that's more than I can afford right now.

Ouch! Figures that Opening Day, all the cheap seats would be sold out. Or were those seats the only ones you looked into?

the section where I looked was in 103 or 104 - it was on the Home side. there were cheaper ones in the 400s and 500s but this season, I want to avoid going that high if possible - I hate walking up the ramps and a lot of times the escalators are packed

But it's Opening Day!!! I think, if anything, that day deserves an exception. At least you'll be there!!!

I don't have one and Lora keeps forgetting hers lol

I'll probably remind her like Thursday or Friday before our Saturday game to look for it...or I'll buy a cheap one.

not that worth it lol I'd have to pay like $85 with fees from stubhub and that's damn near my entire paycheck. I wouldn't have any money for snacks - snacks are necessary at baseball games!

Oh haha

Yeah that'd be good. They're not very expensive anymore. Or maybe you'll luck out and someone close to you will have one!

That's insane. Is there anyone else you could buy from?

Did you see this? I found it on Craiglist. You wouldn't be able to get Opening Day, but they have some good ones I think.

oh wow! I hadn't seen that nor have I sat on that side of the field!

but I've never bought anything from craigslist so I'm a bit weary

It's not as bad as you might think. Most people really do want to do legit business. Might as well go for it, right?

I have it bookmarked and on Saturday I'll go over it with Lora to pick some games that aren't sold out (and hopefully won't be sold out by then).

there's tix available for the April 21st game that are $10 more than what I was going to pay so now it's down to do we want to be in section 103 (near Angels dugout) or the field pavilion. decisions decisions lol
