FriarFest 2008

by sdgaucho on Jan 26, 2008 5:13 PM PST

Went to FriarFest today and had a fun time. We went on the clubhouse tour and saw some neat stuff, then got to run the bases. This was my first time on the field with the bases installed, and it was very cool. I always envied the kids for getting to run the bases during the season, so it was fun finally getting to do it. Although we didn't meet up with jbox at third base, we ran into him and Jon at a later point.

I also scored a Padres banner at the Padres Foundation Garage Sale. They could have washed them, but it was only ten bucks, so I'm not complaining.

This was my first FriarFest and I had a really good time. My only complaint is the fact that the ticket machines at the main gate couldn't scan the print-at-home tickets. What's up with that? You'd think they had plenty of time to get it straight, but I guess not.

See my pictures at the following link. alohabing will be posting hers later, look for a shot of me sliding into second. By the way, pay special attention to the last shot of my set. You'll see a certain group of rabid fans on the jumbotron.

Enjoy.

awesome pictures.

i always love all your pictures. i espcially love the last picture. i'm laughing a lot.

i was going to get a banner but they were so dirty that i didn't want to look through them. i bought justin hampson's & germano's locker nameplate and i also bought justin germano's BP hat. i wanted a jersey but they didn't have any that i wanted. they had a lot of hensley jerseys though.

Dudes

Can you buy tickets at the door?

You must defeat my dragon punch to stand a chance.

i think so...

I saw people walking up to the ticket windows near the Park at the Park gate buying tickets for today. Should still be available for tomorrow, I would think.

Awesome pix

Thanks for sharing.

And if I'm not mistaken, you've managed to capture a photo of the GLB Holy Grail here - the photographic image of one who shall not be named.

That's hilarious...

I finally know what he looks like! I caught your first comment before the slideshow got Stalinized.
...I guess he wasn't lying about his hair; if I had a sexy mane like that I wouldn't ever wear a hat either.
