  1. I found tickets on StubHub eeeeasiliy under $200 for game 4.  Not the best seats but you can get in the game and not be in nosebleeds for under $200/ticket.

    Was thinking about game time on Wednesday.  I'm all in that we play in prime time on Wednesday.  To me, this is the set up that, for TV, makes sense:

    Day game - Brewers at LA - 1:00 local, 4:00 eastern

    Evening game - Red Sox at Houston - 7:00 local, 8:00 eastern

    When do they announce the times for Games 3 & 4?  I just bought tickets to Game 3 and am hoping it's not a super early start... but with the NLCS in Los Angeles that night, I don't like the odds.

    Yeah, frustrating.  I want to buy tickets to take the family but WTF.

  3. Just got back from Mexico City.  Another great trip.  So much eating.

     

    A new tip... if you want to go buy mezcal to bring home, go here in Condesa: https://www.facebook.com/laoriundaroma/ - Rodrigo, the owner, is very cool and the selection will blow your mind.  While you are in the neighborhood, this is where you want to get your elote:

  4. BTW, was looking through Twitter... one thing to think about while in town is who is playing...

    Saw that the past few days, there are/were concerts by Johnny Marr (The Smiths), U2, Noel Gallagher, Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order), etc.  Great music scene.  My cousins saw Metallica play in the Zocalo last year.

    Tizoncito is a few blocks north of La Guera. That place is solid for a quick stop

    Super cheap (as are most places) and its a great option on Sunday nights when you can't get a reservation or find a restaurant you want past 6

    We've seen the first two episodes. LOL at the  crazy girl from Tijuana what a trip. Most of them actually come off as fairly likable which had me surprised looking at them. Tried to book a spur of the moment trip from DFW for this 3 day weekend, but got overrode for a one day Austin trip instead...bummer.

    Watching the show you tend to see quite a few familiar places.  Easy to spot Gin Gin's wall of skulls in the first episode - https://www.worldsbestbars.com/bar/mexico-city/cuauhtemoc-juarez/gin-gin/ 

  7. Anyone been watching "Made in Mexico"?   I'd say it puts Mexico City in a pretty good light (so far).

     

    BTW, you'll notice them go into the country to rancehs with beautiful pine trees, gorgeous countryside.  That's so close to Mexico City... if you go to Tepotzlan, you'll go right through it.  Feels more the mountains between San Diego and Palm Springs than Mexico City.  Really pretty.  Strongly suggest visiting https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/mexico/articles/11-reasons-why-the-parque-nacional-desierto-de-los-leones-should-be-on-your-bucket-list/ next time you're in CDMX and you'll see what I mean.

  8. Been looking at lodging in Athens for our trip next summer... have to say, AirBnB prices in Athens kick ass, especially considering what we used to play to stay at places like the Athens Gate hotel.  

    Pretty sure we'll go back to Karpathos.  If you haven't been...

    When we went there were very few Americans and, as we were told, none who didn't have a connection to the island (ex: family members who now lived in NJ).  Most of the tourists were Greek or Scandinavian.  People were super friendly and it was a great island to explore.
