Ooookaaaay...
The Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants are playing a regular season NFL game today...in Wembley Stadium. O_O The mother tells me that they made special arrangements to play a game in London because they had over 500,000 requests. Of course, only 90,000 could actually get tickets and attend but there they are, in the rain! Wow. That is so weird, to think of a football game being played in London that's actually got an oblong pigskin and big guys in tight pants, shoulder pads and helmets instead of a black and white ball being kicked around by guys in shorts and knee-highs!
And in case anyone else was curious, the Bridge School Benefit concerts are this weekend, and Metallica's set last night was composed largely of a fascinatingly diverse collection of covers. For just the setlist, go here. For the setlist with a review, go here. I can't wait to listen to this! Makes me wish I actually had Green Day's appearance there. I've heard bits of it but don't have it; all I remember is that Hitchin' a Ride sounded peculiar done acoustically. :D
ETA: I do believe that's the first time I've ever seen a team-specific ad for the World Series on TV, too. Hee! Yay Red Sox!
