So this hectic March I described several posts ago is living up to its potential. I spent all of last week in Anaheim for the World Baseball Classic where team USA was grossly outplayed. On Monday (USA v. Korea) Shannon and I had seats right behind home plate. After re-watching the game I was happy to not embarrass myself, as I was on TV most of the night. That night we saw Carson Daly at the game. Much to my surprise he chatted me up for a quick line while I was ordering some drinks in the Diamond Club. Him and his friends even commented on the disappointment of Chase Utley's two errors that day. He earned some street cred in my book.
At Wednesdays game (Korea v. Japan) I was interviewed by Ellyn Pak of the Orange County Register (OC Register). She was doing a story on Korean fan support and the rivalry between Korea and Japan. Here is a link to that story, and my quote: http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/local/article_1053661.php
On Thursday (USA v. Mexico) I took my friend Brianne to the game and had some mondo great front row seats. On this day Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were at the game. The were chilling in a Diamond Club box, and of course were the last couple on the "Kiss Cam." I can not give any street cred to Cruise though, as recent reports have him using his 'clout' to pull re-runs of South Park's "Trapped in the Closet" which attacks Scientology and Cruise.
Last night I took Shannon to Universal City to see David Gray at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Absolutely brilliant show. This was a rescheduled event due to his sickness last year, and he more than made up for it. The acoustics at the Gibson are awesome, and David Gray was able to take full advantage. His voice sounded great, the music was great.
I'm off to the Troubadour tonight to see Snow Patrol. Opening for them is Gemma Hayes, who when checking my iTunes, I actually have one of her albums. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to Snow Patrol, and of course the Troubadour itself. To keep my pace up this week I'll be heading over to the El Rey on Thursday to see Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Then maybe I'll take a breather.
take a breather.
