The good and the bad of Blacksburg this past weekend.
The good: PK's. What a wonderful place. Popped in there for about 45 seconds to say "hi" to a couple friends. 4 carbombs and a beer = $36.
The other good: Hung out with Hurley02 and his family Friday night. That was a good time. I really am lucky to have a family that is so close and doesn't all hate each other.
The bad: Lane Stadium section 230. I bought 4 tickets over the summer during some 4pk deal that ticket office promoted. I thought getting into the stadium sucked, section 230 was no better. It was a bleeping madhouse. Students overran that place. Never made it to the seats. Standing in the tunnel and slowly inching forward and people started coming back down "Don't bother, there's nowhere to sit." No ushers anywhere to do anything about it. Spent the game standing in the walkway, against the wall in the South Endzone. Looking up at the stands, there was a usher/neon vest at every tunnel except for Section 230. It's like they just gave up on that one.
The even more good: Seriously, 4 carbombs and a beer for 36 bucks. That might get you the Guinness and a peak at the bottle of Jameson up in Northern Virginia.

Devil's advocate, some of this happens at all sport/concert events.

Haha. If I had 4 carbombs in a day, let alone an hour, I'd be dead. **
