[over the mountain]

pretty cool last 30 mins sorts-wise. talked with the guy who hooked up out tickets for tonights nats game. he is head of concessions and getting investors to invest in stadium leases etc.

he said a dunkin donuts is coming to the stadium soon, donuts will be 2 bucks each and they expect the avg rev from a dunkin donuts of 175k to be tripled at the stadium.

he said that he has gotten alot of complaints and requests for bars and whatnot outside the stadium. he said they are working on it and when the economy kicks up they will have investors ready to start up bars/restaurants immediately around the stadium.

part of the problem of not having bars/rest is that he said all of M street and the surrounding area is controlled by the govt and they are going to make it a governmental area. i assume govt buildings and depts with rest/bars on street level.

he said that adam dunn is on his way out, thats why he hasnt resigned. that the team views him as an unpleasant guy that the team cant market around him. and his glove work at 1st is pissing execs off.

real real nice guy. he couldnt get us behind home plate or 3rd base like he hoped but he did get us the 1st row in the outfield.

should be a good game. was hpoing to have close enough seats to home plate to hear the smack of teh catchers glove as stras throws the heat but i guess ill try this weekend when the nats come to balmore.

tis weekend is going to be a f=great weekend to catch a game at camde. os v nats. i believe fri and sun are bobblehead giveaways with the sat 4:30 game being a 40th anniversary celebration of mvp brooks robinson and the Os 1970 WS champions.

how many world series have the nats won?

how many playoff games have the nats won?

answer: the same as OTM! ha

edit - also tlaked with the nephew of teh ref who blew the us slovenia game. my brother asked how much has your uncle given you yet? he said no money, his uncle is in a financial institution and doesnt need money. with his african accent its kinda hard to understand him. the guy works in my building, were friendly on the elevator and what not.
