The Breeders at McCarren Pool

Where else can you play dodge ball, relive your childhood cruising down a slip-n-slide and listen to live bands! McCarren Pool the greatest venue ever. Basically, it's a old pool that's filled with concert goers instead of water. Chad and I went for the Breeders but fell in love with Kim and Matt (a high energy Brooklyn band).

Cyclones Loose to the State College Spikes

On Saturday we were back at Keyspan Park! The Cyclones saluted Billy Joel, had motorcycles circling the diamond but could not pull out a win. Loosing to State College put a hurting on their standings.

Shea Stadium

Old/New Shea
The Yankees aren't the only ones getting a new stadium. The Mets are also gearing for a new ball field. The new structure lingers over the old one...it's kind of sad. The Mets beat San Fran! The famous home run apple did make a showing! It seems that apple might not make it into the new stadium. Complete tears if it doesn't.

Bolt Bus to Boston

Fenway
After our Chinatown bus trip to D.C. I figured I'd try a new bus company. The Bolt Bus promises internet and comfy seats. All was true at an incredible price of $35.00 round trip. Four hours on this bus was easy breezy. So off to Boston to meet Diane and Kristi from Detroit. We had a rockn' good time in Beantown. Took in a Salem witch trail day. Even caught a Red Sox's game at Fenway!!

Fourth of July

Dumbo
Chad took the train to a neighborhood in Brooklyn called Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Overpass). I was in Boston.

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest was filled with drama this year. Chestnut beat Koybayashi in overtime. Both men consumed 59 dogs and buns in ten minutes. The decision maker would be; the first to eat five dogs and buns. Chestnut won! This was the first time an OT occurred in the event's 93 years.
