He Plays Guitar AND Throws a Mean Fastball

5:10 PM Ben: wanna go see santana on saturday afternoon?  i have a ticket

  seat’s not great

  but it’s free [I frantically search Pollstar and Santana’s web site, wondering why I don’t know about a Santana concert happening on a Saturday afternoon in or around New York City. I am baffled.] 

5:12 PM me: where at?

 Ben: upper tier i believe

  row q to sell it even more

  the far reaches of shea. [Shea?! Santana is PLAYING AT SHEA?! Oh my god. This is a momentous occasion! Can you imagine what kind of special guests he’s going to bring out! He’s going to pull out the stops for this one! Why didn’t I hear about this sooner? Why can’t I find out any details about this?! Oh. Wait. The Mets are in town this weekend. Johan Santana is scheduled to start for them on Saturday afternoon.] 

5:13 PM me: ah

  sure

  i always enjoy a trip to shea

    ha you must be from connecticut or something then.
    and it doesn’t matter where you’re from, it’s the fact that you act like an nyu grad student. LAME.

    Jessica: Oh! I must’ve forgotten that Connecticut is the only other place in the entire country where Red Sox fans exist.

    I’m amused by how much you seem to hate NYU grad students. You know who I hate? Assholes like you who turn New York into a us-against-them town, where nobody is welcome except “real New Yorkers,” ignoring this city’s past as a melting pot that accepted people from all backgrounds. That’s LAME.

    as i said, i don’t care where you’re from, i care that you and your friends are stupid and annoying and wait on line for brunch cause you are too great for somewhere else and wear stupid bostony clothes and hang out with girls with fake blonde hair and too much makeup and love “the entertainment this great city ahs to offer”.

    a melting pot of flavor, not bland facebook/buttondown/cargo shorts east village idiots.

    you’re a great guy, but go away you animals.

    Jessica: I’m amused that you think I fall in with that crowd. I don’t wait for brunch, I don’t know what “Bostony” clothes are (but if jeans and a t-shirt are “Bostony,” I don’t want to wear “New Yorky” clothes), I hate those Sex in the City types with a burning passion, and my idea of “entertainment” involves free concerts in the park, not nights out at $40-cover nightclubs.

    If you read around a little more, you’d already know that about me.

    I was at this game, too. Rode my bicycle with a nice group from Prospect Park to Shea. Free valet bike parking and all. Did you stay for the second game?
