FanFest, Part I

OK, already late for work, so you'll have to just content yourselves with these pictures.

And yes, I broke down and started a Flickr account.

 

All-Star Weekend

Hey, kids.

Remember when I mentioned that I had volunteered to work the All-Star FanFest? Well, it turns out that I passed my FBI background check (no jokes, please), and I'll be working two shifts.

I'll be one of the first people you see on Friday, since I'm working the box office lines on the first morning of the event (that would be tomorrow at 9 a.m.). I'll be there until 1 p.m. in case any of you were thinking about coming down to Moscone West and harrassing me.

I'll also be closing the whole thing down on Tuesday, working the noon-to-5 p.m. shift. As if to rectify some great karmic injustice that's been done to me, I'll be working the Legends table that day, assisting former MLB greats as they sign autographs for legions of adoring fans.

Who am I kidding? This is going to be karmic retribution. I'm sure I'll be running crowd control on the weird fanboys and socially-inept baseball obsessives who've come to stalk some famous old people. I'm fully expecting to have to hip check at least a couple Jeff Albertsons. Hopefully, I'll at least be able to get a couple autographs.

In any case, I will be wielding a camera both days, so hopefully, I'll have some cool pictures to post over the next few days. And who knows, if you come down, maybe I can prove to your boss that you were ditching work and not just calling out sick. Muah ha ha ha ha ha ha...
