The Milwaukee Brewers were in town, so we had to hit up a few of the games! We left as soon as I got home from clinic on Friday and headed for the lightrail. For $7.00 round trip, it sure beats dealing with traffic and paying for parking downtown. We made it to our seats (in the nose-bleed section) just in time for the game to start. It was a good game, but unfortunately, Brewer's lost. Coors Field is a nice ball park though. All the seats are angled towards home plate and the Rockie's fans are civil! Of course the random "Brewer's suck!" comments are expected, but that was the extent of the hassling we got from the home team fans.
Sweet hat some girl we met at Swanky's made.
On Saturday, we went back for more! Another night game, and another ride on the lightrail. This time the Brewer's walked away with a WIN! Ready to celebrate, we headed to Swanky's! Swanky's is a sweet Packer bar just down the road from Coors Field. There was Packer paraphernalia everywhere, and it was packed with Brewer fans after the game, AND some Brewer's themselves. None of them were familiar to me though (in other words, they were not the hot shots). We had a fantastic waitress who served me what might be the greatest drink ever... a dreamsicle. So delish, and they were on special... so I had several! Probably the most awesome part of Swanky's is their "No Brett Favre" rule. They took down all things Brett Favre related from their wall and no Brett Favre jerseys are allowed. HA! There was actually a guy there who was wearing a Favre jersey, and they made him turn it inside out in order to enter. What do you think? Best rule ever? I think so too!
We won! Go Brewers!
Finally, on Sunday, I did nothing (with the exception of driving to T-Bell for some greasy awesomeness), and it was wonderful! The Brew-Crew did have one more afternoon game, but we are too poor to do 3 in a row I guess.
The "don't walk" sign we saw on the way to/from the game
(I know... inappropriate... but also kinda funny)
Anyone else do something fun this weekend?
