I actually did wonder if that was maybe the case. It doesn’t entirely surprise me considering how unbelievably packed the place was.

Back in Seattle. I do love it here, but Los Angeles, warts and all, kind of got its hooks in me again this past week. Damn, it was so good.

I was at Chappell Roan last night and the opening act, Hemlocke Springs, stopped in the middle of a song because something distracted her in the crowd and then realized that there was a fight. Didn’t expect fighting at Chappell Roan.

What would be the wildest concert for a fight to break out at?

Just went through a TSA checkpoint and there is a video running on repeat from Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the shutdown and delays at airports. Someone very obviously put a chair in front of the TV playing it to block it from view. I was only able to get bits and pieces of it.

Meanwhile, I may never leave The Rose Bowl parking lot. Haven’t moved an inch in half an hour or more.

Here’s where I was sometime near the 15th inning

Every game I have been able to watch over the last couple weeks has been a loss. I’m too superstitious for this shit.

Brandon Sparks @dubseasparks.bsky.social · 1d

There towers were maxed out at the Rose Bowl tonight and I had basically no service for the M’s game. Finally got service when I got to the parking lot and saw the final. I don’t think I am allowed to watch anymore games this season.

I will be at Chappell Roan in Pasadena tonight and won’t be able to watch the Mariners, which, given my track record this season, bodes well for the M’s.

I hate a Frappuccino from Starbucks but I really fuck with an Ice Blended from Coffee Bean & Tes Leaf. Pebble ice makes all the difference. And these motherfucker laid me off from a good job one time but I still give them my love.

I sure thought that looked like the fattest pitch you could throw, and sure enough…

Peter Labuza @labuzamovies.com · 3d

wilson: did you throw the pitch to baez, who chases outside the zone more than any other player in the league, just like i said?

bazardo: sure did boss, made it right down the dick like you said

wilson: what?

I just literally laid my head down on the bar and the bartender was like, “game 5 bro…you’ll get em”

…I read while sitting in Downtown Disney waiting for my twilight ticket to become valid at 4:00

Brandon Sparks @dubseasparks.bsky.social · 3d

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Brandon Sparks @dubseasparks.bsky.social · 3d

Sorry!

Sitting in Downtown Disney watching this game, the first one I’ve really been able to watch. We can all see how it is going. This is on me, again.

Has Psalm 23 printed on his elbow guard

Kerry Carpenter has the most openly Christian worship walk up song I have ever heard: “This Is My Song” by North Pointe Worship. He was announced and then the Mets had a mound visit so we had straight up worship music for a long time.

Brandon Sparks @dubseasparks.bsky.social · 3d

100% true.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Dammit, I love Southern California

Brandon Sparks @dubseasparks.bsky.social · 5d

I watched Gonzaga/North Carolina basketball from those seats. At least, I think that’s what was going on way down there.

Brandon Sparks @dubseasparks.bsky.social · 6d

My mentions from that time period beg to differ.
