well, we made it!

due to that storm i just showed you, it took me 4 hours to get to the mets game last night, all for some quality melton hang time with joel's better third, melissa. here's how i did it:

NJ to QNS:

one car ride, one NJT bus ride, one NJT train ride, one PATH train ride, two MTA subway rides, three laps around queensboro plaza leading to one failed attempt at an MTA bus ride, one more long local subway ride, walk to stadium. 

 it took melissa like 2 hours to get there from about 5 miles away.

but we made it!

of course, the first stop was shake shack, to eat those stressful tornado feelings. melissa went off to get us a couple stiff light beers.

made it to our seats with beers and burgers in hand in time to catch the last 3 innings!

the place was totally packed despite the severe weather. jk, it wasn't.

OH! and jicyww, melissa and i caused a us open-style fight when we tried to sit in our correct seats. this woman said she needed them for her children. there were easily 4 empty seats on either side of her, and my favorite part was when melissa said "well, how many more seats to do you need?" then this drunk dude tried to stand up for us by yelling at the woman, to which she replied in a delightful queens accent "and who tha fuck do you think you aaahhhh?!?!" then she went and got security and tried to get him thrown out while her husband nicely asked him not to call his wife "a fucking bitch". i did yell out "get it on youtube" but unfortunately, i didn't actually get it on youtube...

as melissa said, it was so horrible it was fun! next time, we'll stick with the yankees! go vols!
