Spoiled Forever

so seven of us got to go to the baseball game today and were treated to the crown seats, which i have to say, has spoiled me from sitting in regular seating. for starters, you go in a completely separate, special entrance into the stadium. and lunch is no ordinary hotdogs and peanuts. oh no. there is a huge buffet with everything from a huge salad bar, sushi, oysters, cheeses, crackers, spreads, peel-and-eat shrimp, fruit, egg rolls, burritos, chicken marsala, rice, roasted red potatoes, roast beef, pork tenderloin, rolls and butter, plus two tables of desserts. and then add in anything and everything you can drink--non-alcoholic or alcoholic. it's like paradise.

once lunch is over, we headed out to our seats, which were leather-covered and cushy, like movie theater seats, and even had cupholders. we were three rows from the field and right next to the royals dugout, which was amazing. i've never been that close at a sporting event.

if you think it doesn't get any better, you would be wrong. because we had a server that constantly came by to bring us whatever we wanted--drinks, crackerjax, popcorn, nachos, cookies, hotdogs, malts, bombpops, ice cream sandwiches, cheesebrats, peanuts, wings, etc. and then everything you can possibly think of to drink.

and so you just sit and enjoy. for once, the royals were on a hot streak, as they scored 15 runs and were fun to watch. the people-watching was fab, the hecklers hilarious (i have a slew of new sayings, thanks freaks behind us!), and my sun tan is looking awesome.

for sure, it would be cool if this was a weekly event--and sure, it would be tough, but i could get used to it. wonder if anyone will notice if i go tomorrow.
