Another weekend post
I went to the Lions vs. Broncos game Friday night at Ford field in Detroit. We bought the tickets on eBay so we only paid $10 a piece including parking, pretty good for $62 seats (upper deck).
The Lions, of course, looked pretty terrible. Even Kitna was struggling. Actually, the only decent quarterback I saw was Cutler. He looked pretty amazing; I’d expect him to be vying for a starting position next year.
We planned to tailgate before the game, but didn’t have time because we got caught it traffic. That’s mostly because the cops did a horrible job directing traffic. They wouldn’t let us turn right when we needed to so we were driving around for like at extra half an hour. Anyway, after the game, we didn’t feel like fighting traffic again so we decided to do the tailgating afterwards. This cop comes by and starts absolutely chewing us out for drinking in public. He was furious, threatening to slap us with a $500 fine. I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be getting one of those since I wasn’t drinking, but as retarded as he was being, I wouldn’t have been surprised. The cop told us that drinking in public was illegal everywhere besides Las Vegas and New Orleans, but I’m also pretty sure we were on private property since we were in a paid parking lot. I guess that means all tailgating, everywhere but those two places is illegal. Who knew?
Yesterday I went over to Windsor in Canada. I figured I was this close; I might as well go see it. It wasn’t particularly exciting, but it was still a pretty cool time. Windsor has a more than average amount of adult entertainment. It wasn’t so much that it was gross, but I definitely noticed it. It was enough for me to go ahead and deem it the Tijuana of Canada.
