The 2011 baseball season is now one-quarter complete. I took this photo from the nosebleed seats in section 535 at Citifield. The Mets beat the Dodgers 6-3, Friday May 2nd, 2011. We got the tickets from Dodgers fans. When we got inside the stadium I bet them $5 each that the Dodgers couldn't beat the Mets by more than 2 runs. The Mets went ahead and beat the Dodgers, so the over-under didn't matter. It was a good day to catch a game, the wind blew out and the ball carried easily. The Mets connected for 2 homers and the Dodgers managed to put one out as well. Despite the victory, the Mets really suck this year. Just last...

Cook & Gates, the collaboration behind these awesome totes, are opening their art installation OCEAN this weekend. The duo created a fabric ocean with a sand beach. I have no idea what it's going to look like but I feel sure it's going to be awesome. The band Open Ocean is fittingly playing the opening and its also going to be accompanied by a sound piece by HOLLYWGD, of Glazz.tv. Should be super fun. Stay posted for the Tee Pop I'm planning with C&G for the closing party which will feature boys tees and beach towels.
