weak in the tweak: PACKLERS

i went to my first packers game yesterday. this was the first NFL game that i have been to, it was just a pre-season game though. ZEEKERS picked up about 8 tickets for $20 a piece and it was time to reunite with the wicso football crew. the bus ride down to the stadium was a little painful because there was a little thing called hempfest happening in seattle today. traffic was messed and there were ripping high teenagers running in and out of traffic. ugghhh, hippies and ravers, my two favorite scenes. the bus driver honked a lot and almost lost it a few times. at one point he disembarked the bus near pike place to go to a tully's coffee shop. i got off early, wished the driver luck with the rest of his route, and footed it to the bar our posse was gonna meet at.

there was a pretty good mix of packer and hawks fans wandering around downtown. some of the hawks fans were kinda d-bags, but overall there seemed to be a pretty good 'my team is superior to your team but we don't need to fight about it' vibe going on. preseason, c'mon. the bar we met at had free peanuts! ZEEKERS had a backpack of green n gold stuff to wear, so we geared up. after a few beers i filled my hat with peanuts and we hiked to the stadium.

on the way to the stadium, GMOZ (aka Donald Driver) scalped some extra tickets. RDRR! after that i put my peanut filled hat on and we proceeded through security. security man made me take off my hat and several peanuts fell to the ground. security man thought it was funny. apparently you are allowed to bring your own food into the stadium. i guess i didn't know.

peanut hat

i left a mess of peanut dust on this dudes fancy hawks jacket. "HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?"

beers in the stadium cost $8.50. they stopped serving after halftime. wtf? saved me some money i suppose.

go pack!

nice view

there was a large group of japanese kids sitting behind us and at one point one of the ladies asked to wear GMOZ's cheese hat for a photo shoot. one of the japanese dudes got a little bent out of shape about it because they were rooting for the hawks. rdrr.

peace!
