Wastin’ Away Again In East Troy

I thought now that 'fest was over I was going to get some much needed rest but no such luck. Since almost everyone had Monday off we did some pre-planning and bought some tickets to the Brewers v. Cubs on the day after the 4th. The game was fun and went as expected. We got drunk and watched the Brew crew beat the Cubs with a first inning Counsell homerun. What I didn't expect was buying tickets to the next two games on drunken whim. So I ended up going to the next two games as well. The games were not the drunken debauchery that one is used to but they were still too much fun to explain. Why can I not explain the games you may ask?

Thursday was finally a well deserved day of rest. Friday we headed back to Miller Park to see Brewers v. Reds.

We met Jocelyn's boss from the Sports Dock in a Wal-Mart parking lot outside of East Troy so we could park together at Alpine. Once at Alpine we set up camp and did tons of people watching. People watching is always half of the experience and this concert was no exception. To our right there was a passed out fifteen year old who had too many margaritas with his mom and now she was taking care of him. To our back there were some guys that had a weed whacker blender with a sombrero and hula skirt on the blender. Once we scoped out the lot we settled in and got to the eating and drinking. Jocelyn's boss and her husband were all kinds of fun. Besides those two there were two other guys who were friends of theirs. Gina's (Jocelyn's boss) husband is a cop and one of the other guys was a detective. They had some great stories. Gina's husband was also a…
