And guess when I heard that, when I was back, home"
Three and a half days in Boston and I made the most of them.
A while ago, Jessie told me about Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour and that's what got this trip home started. She deserves a huge thank you because we all know I don't come home enough.
Wednesday
- I landed at Logan and took the T to Government Center. I miss taking the train, so taking the T was both welcomed and relaxing. The T is so much better than LA traffic and $4/gallon gas prices. I walked from Govt Center to my brother's work and seeing everyone out with their Celtics (and Red Sox) gear on was awesome. There was a sports buzz in the Boston air that can't be matching by anything in LA; not even Laker playoff "buzz."
I went to game 5 of the Celtics/Cavs series. Jay-z was there cheering on his boy Lebron but it didn't matter: my brother and I were there. Vince had his "Paul Pierce throw your 3's up foam fingers" that he made and I had my Celtics gear on. Those 3 foam fingers are the greatest thing I've seen in a while and V is a genius for making them. C's won by seven.
Thursday
Kelly's Lobsta Roll
Kickass Cupcakes
Kanye West. Possibly/probably the best live performance I have ever seen in my life.
Seriously, I can't say enough about how amazing his performance was. If you still have a chance to see him live, go see him live. You can thank me later. Even if you think he's an arrogant douche, go see him. He was that great. 90 straight minutes of Kanye West. 90 straight minutes of Kanye giving it his all...he was on his game like a perfect game. The only person there who didn't love it was the dude sitting next to Jessie. He slept for Kanye's entire performance. No Joke. He was slouched in his chair and asleep for Ye's whole set. I have no idea what his deal was.
Friday
More family & friends
Pizzeria ReginaLulu's cupcakes
I went to my friend's brand new condo. It was awesome; I loved it. It rekindled my desire to buy my own place. I hate renting...
Saturday
Henrietta's Table - Mother's Day Breakfast with the fam.
Bodega - they didn't have my size in this shirt but everyone loved my Roscoe's shirt.
Red Sox Day game. I love the Red Sox and I love Fenway park. Enough said. (But not really; I could write pages and pages on this.) Sox beat the Brewers 5-3 with Ortiz homering, Dice-K improving to 7-0 and me eating three Fenway Franks. So good. So good. After the game I saw a few more buddies that I hadn't seen in a while...good times.
Every time I go home, it's never for enough time. Three days makes me want to spend three weeks there and I know that three weeks would make me want to spend three months at home...
