whiski_sourMade my last trip to Wrigley Field yesterday. Yes, I'm a little sadfaced that the season is ending even though it's been a disappointing one. Despite that, baseball and the Cubs have been my happy place for the last couple of years. I hate to see another season end.
I do have the Cubs Convention to look forward to.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luchalibrarian and I are going to rock Chicago for my birthday.
This was the first time I drove up to Wrigley on my own. I made it without killing anyone, though I did curse everyone on 90/94 to hell. That happens when I drive in Chicago.
I did the park and ride deal, which is so nice, but after the game, they have to cram 750 people on it. So I found out that hard way that I'm not exactly skilled at strap hanging on a packed bus driven by someone who trained in the demolition derby. But I did meet some very nice Brewers fans while trying not to fall on them.
For a solo trip, it was a pretty good time. Now that I know I can do it without my road rage killing anyone (I was banned from driving in Chicago by my friends because of it), I'll try to do it more often next season, money permitting.
Next season's schedule is out and I've already got three games picked out. I want to go to the Easter game during opening week; I want to hit the series against the Twins at Target Field; and I want to hit one of the games during the last homestand. There is also talk that we'll go up to Miller Park for a girl's outing (neutral game since a Cubs, White Sox, and Cardinals fan will be going). Everything else is up for grabs.
Money permitting.
Stupid money. I need to start making some.
But that's another post.
