Fenway Park

Finally got the chance to cross of one of my bucket list items. We had tickets on Monday night to the Red Sox game, but we were delayed all day getting out of Texas due to bad weather. We finally arrived in Boston during the 8th inning of the game. Nothing like wasting $400 on Red Sox tickets. But, we got come back and try it Wednesday. There were thunderstorms everywhere in the New England area so we thought we weren’t going to make it. We even bought the throw away ponchos at the game. But… we lucked out. No rain. We got to see the game. It was pretty much as good as advertised (especially for a Cubs fan). Here is a panoramic pic I took of the stadium from our seat. Click on the pic for the larger version.

I spent the day with [b]ecker yesertday in Mission Viejo and had a good day. It always seems to be rainy when I come to Southern Californina for some reason. Today I’m headed up to Santa Barbara with becker for a get together at DJ’s tonight.

Right place…Right time

Our hotel is at 5th Ave & 40th St. There is a McDonald’s on the corner of 40th and Madison that we decided to go to before the game so we could eat quick. We got to the corner and were asked to stop by a guy with a head set and walkie-talkie. They also had traffic stopped and we were told they were filming a scene for a major motion picture. The guy wouldn’t give any information but I got the camera ready. Here in a minute a bunch of police cars and motorcycles came racing down Madison Ave. They had to be going 70 mph on a street that is normally pretty crowded. It was really neat to see a car chase scene being filmed live. They went back around and set up again so we got to see 2 takes of it. When we were leaving we found a guy that told us the movie was called “The Taking of Pelham 123″ and stars Denzel Washington and John Travolta. I found it on IMDB and it looks like it will be release in July of 2009. I don’t get star struck too much but this was really awesome experience. Here’s a pic where you can see an NYPD car geared up with a camera and the white truck has a full camera crew in the back..

New York Day 2

The weather is great right now in New York! The city is great. It’s one of those places that’s great to visit but I wouldn’t want to live here. There’s so much to do and see… Here are some of the highlights from the first day and a half…

Today we went to the Yankees’ game… I’m not a Yankees fan, but seeing a game here was definitely on my short list of places to visit. Check that one off….(click on images for the larger version)

Eating a bag of peanuts is serious business..

We got to the game a little early so we had to pass the time somehow…

I think Alex Rodriguez may go down as one of top 5 players of all time if not #1. Our seats were pretty high so this is the best I could do…

Radio City Music Hall…

The view looking north from the top of Rockefeller Center. It was a pretty clear day so you can see central park really good. You can see Yankee Stadium in the distance just above the right side of the lake…

There are some buildings that just really grab your attention. The empire state building is cool, but for some reason I really love the Chrysler building. More pics to come over the next few days…
