think blue.

los doyers.

don't know what it is about them, but i love live sporting events. ever since i was a child i used to go to dodger games a lot with the family. i used to love the atmosphere, the food, the smells, everything about dodger stadium. my dad used to get tickets through work, and i just remember being so excited for 'free duffel bag night' or 'fireworks night'. i really think my favorite was 'free pin night' because yes, i had my own pin collection back in the day. finally after neglecting the stadium for years (literally years, but not on purpose) i found myself there again tonight with my uncle bob (blob). he usually takes me once a season, and that's about all i need for my dodger fix. i still got that same giddy feeling tonight as we walked up to the entrance and found our seats. while i still loved every minute of it... the stadium has really changed since the way i remembered it as a kid. when i was young, there were pretty much two choices for food: dodger dogs and carl's jr - and at that time, carl's jr was really the popular choice. things have completely changed. it's almost impossible to buy food without some sort of dodger insignia on it or some food that comes from a chain restaurant - everything from carnation malts, to water bottles, to the napkins, it's all about the marketing. while the dodgers took a mean beating against the padres, my fun was still had and i could easily go for round two!

just as i remember as a kid

i was really trying to focus on matt kemp.. not the vendor, i swear

uncle b(l)ob & i

just FYI - i had a dodger dog & garlic fries tonight - the dodger dog was exactly as i remembered them (delicious), and while the garlic fries were heavenly, i'm pretty sure i'll be smelling like garlic 3 weeks from now. awesome.
