california: baseball and parties
Aug. 10th, 2003 01:41 amso I got up relatively early today (like 9:40ish?) to call ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shandrew to make plans for the Phillies-Giants baseball game. Whee! He and Linnea were finishing up an all-night puzzle hunt and then taking the bus from Palo Alto to the game, so I figured I'd just take the bus from Sunnyvale. I-Gene and I got up and went to SVGL to get cheap tokens, getting there just in time to get them... and there were already a billion people playing IIDX, geez. Orochi was on the machine when we got there, and I saw Corey/Ver2 and even said hi, and I saw DDRBot and his sister but didn't say hi, and there were several other people who looked familiar from B3 but it's not like I know who the heck they are. Anyway, we stayed there for about 10 mins and watched one game of IIDX and then hit the road so I'd get to the bus on time - we barely made it there. The bus ride itself was uneventful, there were very few people on the bus and I spent the whole time looking out the window being like "Wow, I'm in California."
( baseball! phillies win! whee! )I got sunburnt pretty badly because I was an idiot and didn't use sunscreen. My arms and face are really all that got it though.
Anyway, we cheered the Phillies a lot, which was kind of amusing to be the minority... and then after the game we took the Caltrain bus thingy back to Palo Alto, since that's where Andrew's car was. We talked about a bunch of random stuff on the long bus ride, and I felt a little bad for not letting them nap since they'd been up all night, but I mean, I've been friends with Andrew longer than almost anyone else I know (tenth grade I think? That's now 11-12 years ago), so it was good to talk to him. Eventually we got back to the stop and then I-Gene and Robin came to pick me up and we came back to San Jose... and I-Gene and I headed out toangelbob's party.
WHEEEE IT WAS S0 GOOD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT I LOVE SO MUCH! In no particular order I got to seejd5p, ts4z, msde, mj2q, bk2w, namshubwriter and his fiancee, sarahnade, and Matt Andrews, and Rem, and ANDY PRESBY!!, and various other people, like plymouth, and of course angelbob himself, and wossname Patrick (phantomdancer?), and whoever else, and if I've forgotten someone please don't kill me but it's late and I'm really tired.
( PARTY )
So tomorrow we're heading to SVGL from... I dunno, noon or 1pm, lunchtimeish, until who knows when. I kinda want to hit MGL too if there's time and the 3K2 machine in Union City... anyway, I WILL play IIDX 9th tomorrow. Yeah.
Goodnight.
