Just in case I’m singing a different (and more marvin-esque song by the first pitch (or the bottom of the 9th)…

I love baseball, I really do ✨

If you weren't actually meaning to open a convo on the all star game feel free to ignore this!

But I think it just has a lot to do with how the all star weekend involves a ton of media so even if they enjoy the game/events themselves there's a lot of strings attached. Like all your coworkers are posting vacation photos, and you may have even been on vacation with them, but you had to cut yours short to work. Sure the office is also throwing a party but it just isn't quite the same as having those days off.

lol!!! Well its not really a discussion on my part because i will just never be able to understand the player's perspective, but i find it fascinating to hear explanations of why the players dont like it - partially because i wonder if the league was a little more "hip", if it could be salvaged.

For one thing, for some of us salary challenged people 'vacation' is not really a thing - i always used my time off to go home and visit my grandparents. Though quite honestly i'd rather hang out with grandma for five days doing nothing but puzzles than sit on a beach doing nothing for five days. When i lived and worked on the east coast i spent most of the year missing my grandparents and the pacific northwest and wishing i was there, so naturally it was always the first place i went to when i got a chance. Im weird. And boring. I realize this.

Secondly, when i did work in education there was this yearly conference and pretty soon after i became in charge of the art department we started bringing the whole team to these conferences. It was the highlight of my year - im not even kidding, im that much of a nerd. I thought my team were the greatest people ever - a sort of found family if you will - and getting to be stuck for an entire weekend with them in some of the most boring cities the united states has to offer never failed to entertain. You know how when you're with people you love everything just feels more exciting? Even dumb shit like getting lost on the DC subway because the foodie of your group wants to try a very specific japanese restaurant thats in a far corner of the city on the opposite end of where the hotel is located. Or getting lost in Atlanta because we had to walk all over the old olympi*c grounds just to see some old stadium so the sports fans in our group could take a photo. Actually now that i think about it most of our outings involved getting lost while walking places. Im not even going to go into detail about the more boring cities because im embarrassed to admit that i found even the most mundane events Really Exciting with these guys. I had a blast, this was the highlight of my LIFE, i dont have very many friends or get out much, lol. I miss those days. I see some of the team individually, like when i last visited pittsburgh, but its not the same as being trapped in a random city and having to entertain yourselves during the off hours when you're not giving presentations. These conferences were also the only time i ever experienced Popularity. Being able to sit in a hotel lobby and have people come up to me, because they recognized me (or my team) was a blast. This is the ideal scenario for a shy person who loves talking to people but cant start a conversation to save my life. I did not care that most of these fans were educators over 40, they all had interesting stories and hearing them talk about using our program helped me come up with new things to implement next so it was a win-win. I also shamelessly used this time to do research on the history of our team. The group peaked in the 90s/2000s and it was really easy to get the older members to start talking about those days. i could probably write a book with everything i learned over the years. except not because even education nerds have scandal. the thing i always found is that if a person seems boring its just cause you haven't asked them the right questions yet.

There was one instance of a guy my age who came up to me and turned out to know the sculpting program i used, and was canadian so we had the whole pacific northwest thing in common, so after the con was over for the day the two of us went out on the town alone. And stayed out till like 2am, not doing anything wild (we visitd tourist sites! We bought smoothies!) i believe we ended up hanging out on an empty playground and talking philosophy, but im pretty sure that was the closest i will ever get to having a one night hookup. The hookup part did not happen because i was too shy to invite him back to my hotel room, and he was staying in a buddhist temple because it was the cheapest housing available and he was a broke grad student studying machine learning and art. I still remember that night, that was the Best night, partially because it was so unexpected and a random happenstance meeting of two strangers who would normally never come together.

Aaaaaall that said, i do realize we are talking about hockey players here who i imagine are maybe not the best conversationalists, and maybe would much rather be sleeping on a beach somewhere. And most of them are probably not the creative type to make exploring a city new or interesting no matter how many times you've been there. (with the exception of sid*ney cro*sby who as we all know is excellent at scavenger hunts). So all right, yeah, maybe i too wouldn't relish the idea of being stuck in a city with a whole bunch of hockey bros.

I also imagine its very different asking someone like sid if he enjoys the all*star game versus asking some player who isnt the best in the league and maybe just got there because of a voting fluke or the rest of his team is just shitty, and is maybe fairly new to the league and this is his first time going, and holy shit he's sitting next to sid at breakfast. Cmon theres got to be at least one guy having that experience even if they would never admit it because its uncool to fangirl.

i saw you were supposed to see elast on wednesday.......howd it go for you?

anon... where do i even fucking begin?

so first of all i was so excited for that show. i STUDIED hardcore. like only listened to them for four days straight (i didn't realize i'd be so down bad for them).

we get there at 5:30, "doors" at 6 or whatever. then at 6... someone comes out and says we have "enough time to get food and go to the bathroom" and we were like... okay. so we do.

wait another 30 minutes... then a black van almost hits us cause we were standing in the parking lot and FUCKING E'LAST GET OUT OF IT AND GO THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR???

and then the SECOND van comes and it's the rest of them. apparently they were LOST??? and then we FINALLYYY get inside and i was sketched out about this location and entire show being a scam because i'm an atlanta native. i know every venue in this city. THAT building?? it's a wedding venue. prom. graduation party. whatever. it's 30 minutes outside of the city... in the middle of nowhere.

so at 8pm... two hours after it should've started... we all get in and sit down. keep in mind NOBODY HAS SCANNED TICKETS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SECURITY. just a bunch of staff that are like early 20s... not security.

and this girl comes on stage and is like... show cancelled. lol

apparently the stage was too small. the venue was trash. they would not let them preform. and then everyone FREAKED out. how could they not have known the stage was too small??? people had been there since 7am... they KNEW.

the boys came out crying... poor baekgyeul had to step away and get a tissue. and nobody knows what's going on...

we wait around again... the girl promises us ??? our tickets worth of merch? (there were only albums and cups) which we ended up NOT GETTING. and they promised us selfies w the members without even talking to them about it first. like they were just pimping them out so they could scan our tickets and make sure nobody got a refund...

a staff member argued with my friend.

so then for HOURS... the boys are just standing in the corner and we're all sitting in this big room together?

and i had made them bracelets so at this point it's like 10pm and i'm like can someone just give them these? i don't see how this is going to work bc people were saying the venue closes at 10:30 and they were not even done w vip yet.

then... finally... FINALLY... we get in line for these stupid selfies... and i am so delusional but... choi in... was absolutely in love with me.

we get our selfies and my friend and i leave, getting in the car at 11:30.

so. it was definitely a time.
