Red Sox Nation sent out a dispatch last week about a first-come, first-served contest for tickets to watch Game 2 of the ALDS at Fenway.  This was an away game, so the party was being held in the State Street Pavilion, which are some of the more expensive seats in the park.  I replied right away, as did roryk , and we both got on the guest list.  coco_b   ( Read more... )

She had already gotten me Rock Band earlier in the month, which we've been playing the hell out of. She also threw me a killer birthday party, where a bunch of people joined us for a bit of the game as well as the final "Greatest Action Movie ( Read more... )

I have been an asshole for nearly 31 years now, but I'm finally feeling like coming to these meetings is starting to help. For instance, today I came home to find a FedEx envelope addressed to some stranger at my address. I opened this envelope, sent by StubHub, to find two ( Read more... )
