Last Blast
After the Giants game Burton asked me what I felt like doing, I figured I’d throw out one practical and one fun suggestion so I found myself saying “bowling or grocery shopping“.
He was less than thrilled with my suggestions saying that this is one of my last chances to go out and have fun before becoming a father. Now granted had I known this would come up I would have been better prepared both in terms of ideas as well as clothing and supplies. But given the limitations of the spontaneous nature of our adventure we decided on TheatreSports.
However the next show was over an hour away so we slowly headed towards our destination. Along the way Burton had the idea of going to the Planetarium. I said I doubted it would be open in the traditional sense but if we were lucky we may catch a laser show that is NOT Pink Floyd. Upon arrival we discover a bunch of stoners buying tickets.
Something about becoming a father makes me share Cartman’s views on hippies.
Turns out, yes, it is indeed laser Floyd. This has been running regularly for over a decade now, don’t they ever get tired of it?
Burton suggests we follow the most clean looking couple leaving the building. I think this a very bad idea but decide to go along with it. Turns out they were heading to an observatory where between 8pm and midnight you can use the telescope to look at nearby celestial objects. We got a pretty good look at both Saturn and the moon. We got so caught up in it we totally forgot about TheatreSports.
It was cool, I highly recommend it - just remember to go on a clear night.
