it's always game time...

we got free tickets to the blue jays. these tickets are good for the best available 100 level seats that day. we redeemed these wonderful, magical tickets on friday. joe carter was signing autographs, so we left ridiculously early for the game (4:45pm - the game started at 7pm) and lined up at the gate that we were told to line up at for the autograph. it was really long with a lot of crazy people in it - i wondered if only mentally unstable people like the blue jays since there were many in abundance...then i wondered what that said about us...oops, digressing. anyway, i've never gone for the autographs at the jays' game before, but now i know that you can go through ANY gate, but 6A is the closest to where the autographs are signed. however, it is not the best option if there are already about a hundred people at said gate. so we waited in line, got in the building, and realized there was another, much LONGER line with HUNDREDS of people - those people entered another, less busy gate and just walked a bit further to get to the autograph place. hmph.

i insisted on waiting in line juuust in case, but of course, we didn't get to the front before joe had to leave. i did take some pictures (i'll post later - i've become very lazy about uploading photos to the computer), and managed to get a picture of me standing in front of joe...this was taken right after a lady shoved my head out of the way so she could take a picture. a simple "excuse me" would have been more appreciated and effective, but apparently those words aren't in the vocabulary of crazy people...
