The look on Mrs. TJs face is Morton's bone-in ribeye in a peppercorn congnac reduction sauce.

I get that look a lot. Hey, what's Jeff Samardzija doing on the roof (behind the woman in the Cubs jersey and headphones)?

The even better look is Morpheus up at the top.  He's got his morts on, rife with jealousy that he's not involved in this man-kissing action, all the while trying to stifle the erection that's going to obviously be showing soon due to the tightness of said morts.

How bout the appearance of Karry Ling back there with Headphones woman?

And Slaky needs a haircut.

I think it's the first time Karry and I have ever appeared in a photo together.  And yes, I'm practicing for a Captain Morgan commercial.

In all likelihood he is talking about the extremely bored chick in the light blue shirt--looking quite "gangsta" with a chain and backwards hat on--who seems to find Earl and Shark's conversation more interesting than anything else.

I'm riveted by their conversation.

What are they talking about?

In all likelihood... haircare tips.

Are the hogans of the chick in teal worth mentioning?

Stage right of Bears Shirt?  That's not teal!

Are you splitting hairs, Wheeze, or would you care to tell us the color?

Light blue, sky blue, baby blue, pale blue, cyan, azure, cerulean blue... blue.

Just not teal.

I'd say plain old "powder blue."  No teal.


D'ur... How could I have missed a hue so simultaneously obvious and awesome?



I might also add: columbia blue and maya blue.

And (to get really specific), after a bit of color correction, my Photoshop eyedropper pegs it as in the neighborhood of Pantone 2905. Coated, natch.

Still not teal in any event...

The people on the rooftop above us sure look like they're having a great time.

I just wanted to go back and give this observation the propers it deserves.  It was a beautiful night, great setting, a ballgame in front of them, and those people look like cows headed to slaughter.

But they are silent and still, which seems to be important to the proprietors.

I like the old Blue Jays hats, too, although I liked the old road hats better:



(Don't ask me why).

I also like the button-down version of that uni, in which the logo is slightly to the right. If they did it in powder blue, it would have been steak sauce on a non-acousticophobic roof.

But I digress. The unis remind me of the 1985-era Blue Jays, who would have destroyed the Tards in the World Series if they didn't choke.

I have to say that our group seemed to be having a great time. Lots of conversation and laughing all night. Everybody giving each other shit and general drunken tomfoolery.  
The rest of the crowd were a bunch of stiffs.

To go along with the other complaints about the management and their spectacular customer relation skills, what the fuck was with last call in the 7th inning?
I realize the ballpark has cutoffs to try to keep a lid on fan rowdiness and in order to comply with neighborhood requests. But a rooftop?
No one is going to run onto the field from a rooftop.
You can't throw garbage on the field from the other side of Waveland.
The bars don't have to stop serving.
So why does a rooftop? Probably because it was a package deal and the earlier they stopped the better for them.
When I mentioned to one of the bartenders that I wish I knew they were going to stop serving, she replied that she announced last call 3 times. Which would have been fine except that she was in another part of the building from WHERE THE DRINKING WAS GOING ON.
As I gestured towards our group even my most desperate plea of "Not even one more? You don't understand, how else am I going to put up with these people?" wouldn't sway her.
It was all probably for the best as I nearly killed myself twice falling UP the stairs on the bleachers.

I would attend another of these in a heartbeat.

Well, even better was the ingenuity of the guys who ordered 25 beers at last call and had them lined up on the last row of the bleachers the final 3 innings. You just needed to know where to look, flannj. (Of course one of the brownshirts came up and demanded we get rid of the beer with 1 out in the 9th. We happily obliged.)

I was distracted by the constant hugging I was receiving from Kerm.

That's part of the deal the rooftops agreed to with the city when they were officially licensed.  I was actually surprised that the cut-off wasnt the time cut-off the park uses for night games.  Very forward thinking, however, of TJ's group to get the extra beers in time (I was one of the people who 'helped' TJ get rid of the extras).

While I'd love to claim that action, I think that Thrill and Pre were the main architects of stashing the beers. Brilliant!

I'm sure that's the reason even though it's retarded because the bars a couple hundred feet away are all open.
