May 16


Stuart, Dave, Amy Smith and Ben Reichenau enjoy the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Amy lives in Chicago and is a nurse. Ben also lives in Chi-town and works for KPMG Consulting. He's also a recent graduate of the Owen School of Management at Vanderbilt.


Stuart and our new friend Alice, usher at section 107. This is Alice's first season as an usher at Wrigley. She likes it, but is ready for the weather and the Cubs to get better.


Dave and Amy Smith enjoy a brat and hot dog. Our ratings for Wrigley concessions (on a scale of ten):

Hot Dogs: 6
Bratwurst: 7
Pretzels: 4 (not too good!)

As you may have noticed, it was Budweiser Floppy Hat Day at Wrigley. Unfortunately, Barry didn't get a free floppy hat because he was playing basketball at Northwestern with his friend, and ex-Princeton star, Sean Jackson. Too bad Barry, you missed out on a great time and a spiffy hat.


That's Harry Carey (sp?) leading us in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch. Now this is baseball! So what if you can't really see him.


Daa Cubs Win. Cubs Win. Cubs Win!
Cubbies, 16 - Padres, 5
