Miles from Fenway: The Red Sox Bring People Together

What an amazing weekend. I started it off not having any plans. I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend in the apartment. Instead the weekend was filled with the following:

1. Hanging out with the Twin on Friday night at Boston 212 with my roommate and her boyfriend
2. Attending the 17-1 Red Sox / Yankees blowout on Saturday afternoon
3. Passing out cards for Boston 212 after the game and meeting a group of Rhode Islanders who eventually met us at the bar that night
4. Hanging out at Boston 212 for MANY hours, schooling a few friends at beer pong, meeting some great fellow Sox fans including two Jersey residents, a Philly resident and a Commander in the Navy from NH
5. Commander Biz taking 6 of us on a private tour of the JFK aircraft carrier Sunday morning which included access to non-public tour places such as the bridge of the ship (and of course skipping the three hour line)
6. Going out to lunch with Biz, a friend of mine, one of the owners of 212, and the NJ and PA Sox fan friends we had met the night before
7. Meeting everyone that night for the game.
8. Seeing Goldie Lookin' Chain last night. White Welsh rappers, just the funniest thing to see ever.

99% of this weekend was Red Sox related. It was fantastic. And to watch them demolish the Yanks from 20 rows behind homeplate was amazing. I plan on writing posts about various specifics from the weekend over the next few days, but I just had to get that out of my system.

The GLC are certainly funny. Did you know that there are Rappers who 'rap' in Welsh?
