Through my job, I got a ticket for a luxury box at the Pirates game last night against the Red Sox. It was "turn back the clock night", a throwback to the last time the two teams had played, the 1903 World Series. They had all sorts of neat touches at the park, retro uniforms, old-timey music, etc., but the weather just didn't want to cooperate. We still crashed the luxbox and had a great time. That is a cushy setup they have there; you get your own room, your own covered (and heated) seats outside the box, your own bathroom, and all kinds of "free" food. I say "free" because it works like a hotel minibar; they know how much food and how many cans of beer they put in your box, count up after you leave, do the math, and charge you. My company's law firm was the one picking up the tab, so I didn't feel to bad about having 2 $5 cans of diet soda, or an $8 hot dog or whatever it cost. After getting tired of waiting for the game to start, my one coworker (who shall remain nameless) and I headed over to Club Elite. I got the sense that he _really_ wanted to go, and all the other guys who had expressed an interest had bailed, so I didn't want to leave him hanging. We were only there a short while, and then the SLF(Special Lady Friend) got out of work unexpectedly early and came and had a drink with us! It was a nice suprise, although I think it might have made nameless coworker a tad bit uncomfortable, but oh well.
