USA 2010: gaga concert vs baseball game?

when trip planning, we looked into ticketmaster to see what's on broadway this season. new york is AWESOME like that. and i found out that lady gaga was in town just for ONE day!! *cue "poker face" music & windshield waving moves". im so so crazy about her and her videos its almost uncool.

at the same time, daniel was hyperventilating because he found out some baseball tickets - yankees playing against the seattle mariners. the last time he watched a ball game, he was five and its one of his favorite sports. so it was two happy people bouncing in one very small space. until we found out that the only day we can make either of the events is in fact the exact same day. *sigh*

so we tossed a coin, twisted some arms and bickered incessantly all the way from asia to usa. guess who won?

let there not be any talk in our household who wears the pants!


"GO YANKEES!!!" 


we took fellow yankees fan, alex, with us for the ball game. it was his first time too!!

and enjoyed EXCELLENT seats with an amazing view right next to the pits (this is daniel trying to make it up BIG TIME!!). i was really hoping someone would catch me a ball.. and like good ballgame cheerios, we had chinese noodles! and beer in souvenier cups, hotdogs chips the full works! it was insane!!! 

my favorite bits were the fun games in between, the cheering and the fun games they threw in!! i LOVE the pitch cleaners dancing to YMCA and jiggled a little from where i was! and i loved singing the american anthem, i think its such a pretty tune. there was not a quiet moment the entire evening! i loved it! i also caught up on baseball history big time with the two boys teaching me everything there is to know. i saw jorge posada, alex rodrigeuz, derek jeter from yankees and ichiro suzuki from mariners. all super cute in person but all i remember now is their dating history. sorry, my brain is just not made for baseball stats! but ya. ichiro suzuki. still super cute.


classic baseball shot from our kickass seats!! 

unfortunately, yankees lost that evening but it was great fun overall. i spent the whole train ride home cheering "let's go, yankees!" and just sayin', if say we were to live in NYC, i'd be happy to watch every single game with the mister. another big plus to get a job here in the big apple, dude! *hint hint*
