I haven't been there in 30 years. I spent a few hot summer days there back in the day. Once, after a debauched all night gambling session, we went outside and it was snowing. I thought I was hallucinating.
It’s been about 10 years since the last time I went. My wife’s brother is a firefighter in Vegas and he works the strip. He has seen some shit.
I bet he has. I really think it's underrated as a weird place. I went there a lot when I lived in LA. Good stories, and a few not so good stories.
You lived in LA? I had no idea.
Yes. For four years in my early 20s. A long time ago.
Did you get out to any Dodgers games.
I have been to LA at least 10 times but I have never gone to Dodgers stadium. Definitely on my stadium bucket list. Just never seemed to line up when I was there. I have been to all the other California ballparks.
Oh yes. I was out there in 85, when the Mets were getting very good. Gooden in his prime. I went by myself to the first game of a Dodgers Mets series, and sat next to an old guy from NY. He had extra tickets to the next two games, but didn't have a car. He gave me the extra ticket in exchange for driving him to the games. We had a blast. I do recall the Mets took two of three. I already told you my Anaheim Angels game around that time and the Reggie Jackson incident.
That’s awesome. I keep telling my wife the next time we head out to LA we need to plan it around a Dodgers home stretch.
Truthfully besides the Dodgers game I have no desire to go to LA. I am much more fond of SoCal and San Diego than LA but my wife still has some extended family and friends in LA area she would like to visit.
That should be quite the show.
UFC is doing a show there in September.
Vegas in July should be fun. I went there once in the summer. I think it was 105 every day.
