Happy Summer!! Last night we went to the ballpark for an evening of opera and a picnic on the outfield. Luckily it was a warm evening and we live just across the street. Unfortunately for us, it was poorly organized and we were herded into the stadium like cattle. Everyone was hot and grumpy by the time we got through the gates. We had to find our way down to the field by wandering around in different directions and even climbing over a b*tchy old lady that didn’t want to get up for us to get through her row. Once we got inside, we found a nice spot on the field and got crackin’ on our picnic.

It ended up being quite pleasant on the field and the evening stayed pretty warm and comfortable. We watched a live simulcast of Lucia di Lammermore that was playing at the SF Opera House and it was pretty good.

The jumbotron was really clear and we got an upclose view of the performers along with subtitles. The only annoying part of the whole experience was a couple who thought it would be a good idea to have the most retarded conversation that was totally unrelated to the opera throughout the entire show. As Jesse was saying as we left the stadium, it may be worth it for us to pay for tickets to the actual show next time just to avoid the crowds and annoying conversation. All in all, it was still fun…and FREE!
