Well i got shut out.. I didn't get tickets though the team, so now i am starting to look in other directions..
I have a feeling i will be at home celebrating alone with some pizza and beer... just the way i want to spend my world series..
I know i am being a "sour grapes" but i am really upset. I was really hoping against hope that i would come away with one ticket to one game. But i am guessing that i won't be seeing the boys in purple playing the end of the season out.
This sucks and i am very sad. This will take some time for me to get over.
:(
Go Rockies, still!!!

The new word
Rockies World Series Ticket Onsale
This morning the Rockies' ticketing provider Paciolan experienced a system wide outage that is impacting all of their North American customers. They are working hard to resume service as soon as possible and apologize to their customers and all fans for this impact.
WOW!!! good job guys...
http://www.paciolan.com click the "contact us" link and let'er rip..
seriously???? comm'on...
SUSPENDED?????? are you kidding me...
OK, so WTF????
of course the servers failed...
I wish they would have talked to a music company or a national touring band on how to sell thousands of tickets on line and see how to see them without the servers failing.. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! i have seen more than 18,000 tickets on sale and gone in less than 20 minutes, why can't they sell them the same way though MLB??? and yeah only 18,000 tickets to be had by fans in a baseball stadium that holds roughly 60,000 people. Well they say that over 32,000 tickets are going to season ticket holders, players and sponsors. Boy i wish i knew a player now...:)
So, they have just announced that tickets are not being sold right now. That only a few hundred were able to be sold today and they will let us know when they are going to resume ticket sales.
I wonder how many people waisted their work day hitting refresh like i have :)
GO ROCKIES!!!!
I will update...

Cows on Film
Just a little ditty to see if i could put a video up. Well it took me all day, but i figured it out.
I do hope you enjoy my 'Cows on Film".
Birtha never ever talked too much, Had those television eyes
Sorry for the doubling up on the Rebirtha lyrics, but i just got an email from friend and apparently we freaks that can't get enough Widespread Panic aren't the only ones.
So last night the Indians and the Red Sox went at it again for the 6th game to see who will play the HOT ROCKIES in the World Series.
There must have been some major Panic fans working the music at the game because this is what went down at the inning breaks...
So last night the Indians and the Red Sox went at it again for the 6th game to see who will play the HOT ROCKIES in the World Series.
There must have been some major Panic fans working the music at the game because this is what went down at the inning breaks...
Surprise Valley - 1st inning break (this song has been a blog title for me "spirit move in all things")
Disco - 3rd inning break (this is an all instrumental otherwise I would have used anything from this wonderful song!!)
Action Man - end of the 5th inning (one of my favorites to see live and we did get in this past weekend " Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time.... Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, man-of-war"
Surprise Valley - 6th inning game summary (again, they must really like it)
Thin Air – 7th inning break.(very appropriate seeing someone will be coming to the thin air, i guess after tonight's game...")
So keep your ears out, i am sure there will be more panic played tonight..
Well something else special happened today. I woke up a little early and Watson, my dog, wanted out. I let him out the back only to be greeted by falling snow. When i looked out it was only falling but nothing was sticking, but when i got up about 30 minute later to let him back in the grass was all white.
i don't expect it to stick around like last year as we are going to get back into the 70's next week, it is pretty to see and hopfully enough to scare those sox into loosing to the Indians.
Since it is snowing i got the fixins to make a slow cooker chili this afternoon and i also got a few pumpkins to carve while sipping beers and watching baseball.. LOVE THE POST SEASON!!!!
I also have some plans to put up some great pictures i took from my parent's visit a few weeks ago. There are some great pics i snapped that i would like to share. And one more goal for the day is to figure out the video on this thing so i can share some great stuff i have in that department too. Who knows you might be able to watch Panic playing Surprise Valley as i shot that song in Vegas this time last year...
Off form morning rituals :) and then my day can start..

She said, "I know a town where real life's a game
Baseball's all that's real
At night all the faces light up
As the HEROES take the field"
This is my mantra for the next three days until tickets go on sale. I am going to try for one ticket to the second game in Denver, so that would be the fourth game played. Might be the night The Rockies will will the World Series. Right now in this town, Baseball is what is really real. No one is talking about the Broncos that will be playing the Steelers this weekend. No one is even mentioning that the Nuggets start soon (that's our NBA team) and i have not heard word one about the Aves yet...
this is a BASEBALL town..
So, last week they changed the rules for buying tickets. There was, at first, going to be a lottery line that fans could get in and then see if they get a number close to the one called that will start the line. A lot like what they started doing for Phish tickets toward the end. But now they say that everyone has to go online to get the tickets. So, at 10am 50,000 fans will be swarming that site to get their hands on either a very great investment or a chance of a lifetime to see a World Series game played in out back yard.
(hopefully not once in a life time if we can hang on to the line-up over the off season- but you know what I mean).
I am not sure what i am going to do. I had some sudden expenses that have come up that might keep me from being able to afford one ticket. So we will have to see on monday what i can do.
I started to relax the last several days and even was able to sleep a little the last few nights, but that will all be gone sunday night again.
HOW FREAKING EXCITING!!!!

The Waiting is the hardest part..
OK, i know i used that line before, but GEEZ!! waiting for the World Series is taking all my patients. To be honest i don't care who we play. Have you seen what we have done to the last two teams that have worn red in our Stadium??? and one team we swept TWICE!!!!
But my dad would love for the Indians to be in the games. I will watch tonight to see if they are going to clinch it tonight or if we have to continue waiting.
So, they are making the tickets really hard to get by selling them online, only. I am soo afraid that hackers are going to get in and scoop up all the tickets, then the fans are forced to pay upwards of $500 just for the crappy seats, when they are actually on sale for only about $65. That sucks!!!!
Saw some of the guys practicing last night on the news.
Other than that, i am just working and worrying about cash flow, but that is life huh???
More on snack time later, i am still waiting for my lunch!

Start wearing Purple, wearing purple
Time to jump on the bandwagon, why not everyone else is, but the Rockies are on FIRE!!!! did you see that hit my Toryalba last night, are you kidding me. That's our catcher!
So, i will be up at the top of the stadium tonight, but at least i will be there. I was offered a Face-value ticket last week and took it with no hesitation. And tonight will prove to be an exciting one, that is for sure.
Our team still looks strong. We are ready to take it all the way tonight.
So, here is the low down from the great weekend that was. The Great American Beer Fest was all what i expected. We had some wonderful beers like Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Green Flash West Coast IPA and New Galarus. They are all good. We did find new great IPA from Steelhead. It is the Double Play IPA. Great beer!!!!
So the best part of thursday was drinking Bell's beer while watching the Rockies in October.. that was great. Then friday and Saturday we saw WIDESPREAD PANIC. Jimmy Herring is the man, Jojo is getting balder, JB is still FUCKING HOT!! Schools is a house, Suny doesn't ever stop smiling and Todd was, well Tedd.. They set lists were good, but Saturday was a better show overall. And i got a Jack. i love that song. But it was strange leaving a little early Friday to look for some TV sets around the stadium to check the game. I can't believe we won by a walk. Panic is big into baseball too, so the next night they played Walk On in the first set. I know it was for the game winning walk..
Yesterday my boyfriend and I drove up to the mountains to eat some crab legs at one of the casinos. We watched it snow the whole time. so cold.
And the Rockies are one win away from sweeping the Diamondbacks. Last night they played in the cold and rain... and most media outlets are playing off the "And it was Foggy last night" because our pitcher that did a great job starting was Fogg. so heehe, very obvious, but there you go.
SO, i will report tomorrow that we will be going to the world series...
Wear your PURPLE!!!!
GO ROCKIES!!!!!

Spirit moves in all things, the spirit moves in all things
Hey all,
well the weekend is upon us and I am so excited to see the Panic boys back in CO. The only problem is that i know there will be no tv there tonight. Last night was great, because the coors booth had two flat screen tvs that we watched the Rockies win on. that was great. Drinking Bells beer in Denver, while watching the Rockies in October, is great!!!
OK, i am calling it a short day and going home. I need a nap before the festivities begin tonight...
GO ROCKIES!!!!
have a great weekend...

I know it may sound funny but how dare you show up on time...
OH my Oh my oH my!!!
one hour until i am leaving work and heading home.. Tonight is going to be a crazy one. We want to get to the Great American Beer Fest before the doors so we can get our badges (we don't need to stinkin' badges) and get inside to take some photos of the start of the GABF. Then it is run to New Galarus, and then to Bells and then to the Dog Fish Head booth to get a few 120's. Then to find Green Flash and have a few of them.
My only MAJOR concern about all of this is that the ROCKIES are playing and i don't know that there will be a TV in the convention center to have it playing.. That means that after a few beers it is off to a near by bar, check the score and then back to the GABF for a few more rounds.
I might be a little late coming into work tomorrow, so don't wait up.
GO ROCKIES!!!
snack time was Nutty Butty kind of ice cream cones... I said no thanks. I didn't want to run an additional three miles just to work it off, i will be drinking enough beer to more than make up for that.
GABF=Liquid love, one once at a time...

Put me in Coach, I'm realdy to play!!!!
Sorry if you are not a baseball fan, you are screwed reading my blog for at least another run.
So i got a call from a friend, and you know who you are, that they had a line on 'at-cost" tickets for monday's game.. So, of course the sucker that i am for my Rockies, I just shelled out $70 for upper level seats to the game monday.
OK, here is my reasoning. If you know me then you would know that about this time of year, I would start making plans to see String Cheese where ever they were playing New Years, or even Halloween. Since they are no longer touring, i am not buying tickets, air fair, hotel stays, rental cars, etc. Therefore i have to have some cash that i can spend on the rockies... right???
And I can wear my new shirt to the game and my wild card hat!!! love getting decked out in Rockies gear...
So, This weekend just got longer and extended into next week. They BETTER have a TV at the Grreat American Beer Fest tomorrow night.
On another note. did you all see Mark Cuban dance on Monday.. What do you mean NO?????
well then i wont thank you for helping him stay in the game by voting... But as of last night's results show, he is still dancing.
OK, lunch time and i am starving..

Doctor, Doctor, give me the news....
OK, so i went back to the doc today. she gave me my report from my blood draw that the lady hurt me on. And i am healthy as a horse, what ever that means. She says that all my levels are Fantastic!!! Sounds great to me. That's what i wanted to hear.
Sounds great to me..
Well, this week, i am anticipating it going very slowly because there is a TON of stuff going on this weekend that i am super excited about. This is in order of activity, not necessarily in order of my excitement level for that particualr event, although all are going to be great!!!
First, Thursday is the Great American Beer Fest. And this is a massive event at the convention center. We are excited because this is the first year we are able to ride the Lite Rail to the event and not have to worry about cabs and driving... perfect! This event is big in the beer world because it is the only fest that awards their awards by blind tastings. Meaning that the judges don't know the brand of beer they are drinking when judging. All beers are judged on how they fit to the exact specifications of that particular type. For example lets say we have three Porters (dark, black heavy beers) and lets say that beers one and two are brewed with a slightly different taste than what a perfect porter is supposed to taste like and the third one is on the money. Maybe beers one and two are a crowd favorite, but they didn't have the specifics, then three will win.. SO, it doesn't matter, except for crowd favorite award. So, some breweries really like it and some don't but it is the truest, non biased tasting there is...
But for us, plain old festival goers,. we can see what we are drinking and pick for ourselves... WEE go on Thursday but the event goes all weekend.
Then Friday and Saturday is WIDESPREAD PANIC BABY!!!!! Can't wait to see the boys again and hear some head bending tunes with Jimmy Herring.. SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!
Then starting Sunday, the baseball boys are back in town to hopefully clinch the league series.. we will see. I am thinking i am going to be soo worn out by Sunday i won't be able to get off the sofa, but i would like to think that i would go try to get a ticket downtown. If i don't go on Sunday, i will most likely try for Monday's game.. I will go alone, but i am OK with that...
So, that is the deal, oh snack time, string cheese and mini éclairs. I have been walking at the gym every night and i think i am going to stay away from both. Good habits come from good decisions. right???
Sounds great to me..

Monday monday....
Today is a slow one for me. We have had two very busy weekends with parent visits. They were all great, but just lot of activity all weekend. So it will be nice to rest tonight and have no obligations.
I am going to hit the gym and then have an easy night.
Rockies start the next run on Thursday. Which isn't that great of timing for me. We are going to be at the Great American Beer Festival. That is one of the best events of the year. I sure hope they have a large screen TV to watch.
Then Friday and Saturday is WIDESPREAD PANIC!!!!!
Hell yeah!!!
so, pardon the short update today. I am tired...
oh- Animal crackers for snack..
have a good monday night and watch Dancing with the Stars and vote for Mark Cuban....
he needs our help!!!

Always look on the bright side of life..
Hey, Great news. A Friend of mine that i used to see a ton of baseball games with is in town for the game tonight and he had an extra!!!! Yup, you read correctly!!! he had (i guess technically, still has) an extra for tonights game.
ok here's how it went, so earlier yesterday a different friend told me about this ticket give away on the Rockies website, so i entered. Long shot, but what the hey.. i'll try, I REALLY want to go to this game. So they say they will call you if you win sometime after noon yesterday. So I never answer my cell phone unless i recognize the number- side bar. So it was about 3:30. I am totally preoccupied with how i am going to get a ticket to even try to work, that my phone rings. It is a 303- number, meaning it is coming from Colorado. I don't know it, but maybe I won.. so this is the conversation.
Me- hello????
Voice- so, you really want to go to the game tomorrow night?
me- yeah.?.?....
Voice - well you are in luck, i have a ticket for you...
the i recognize the voice as my friend in Portland. and he tells me that his brother in law is coming to denver for business and was going to go with him, but he wasn't landing until about 8:30 saturday night, the game starts at 7:30 and the airport is at least an hour or two away when you consider getting luggage etc.
So he wont be able to make it and my friend had an extra!!!!
SO, I am in!!!!! and the best part, they are great seat!!!! section 107 in the right field above the small "out of town games" score board!!! I am PSYCHED!
GO ROCKIES!!!!

The weekend's here and the time is right, for dancing in the streets
So happy friday to all who stumble on this blog and for the few unfortunate regulars. Weekends are the best part of the week and this one is no exception. I feel very fortunate to be living in the mile high city this weekend. Tell me where else are you going to see the Wild Card winners clinch the National League Division Finals??? huh??? where else??? well no where else, because it is going to happen here in Denver tomorrow night. GO ROCKIES!!! and if you have a line on a ticket, i am still looking.
So, this sunday is kinda of a cool, unique things also. How many other major cities can you do a sport tripple header with three of the top performing teams in professional sports. Some die hards, I am sure, are going to try to pull this off. On Sunday, only in the city of Denver can you wake up early and run a marathon for Breast Cancer, ("run for a cure", brings over 100,000 people alone into the city) then at 2pm catch the Broncos at Mile High Stadium, at 5pm, dash over to the Pepsi Center to watch the Avalanche play one of the first games of the season, then at 8, if need be, the Rockies will try for the National League Champs if they didn't do it on Saturday night.
Now that is a good day/night in Denver...if you like sports.
My boyfriends parents are coming into town this weekend, well should be here now, i guess. Tonight we are doing an art walk in Denver, then Sunday the Art Museum, so a weekend full of culture and expanding my brain. then next weekend is a weekend for killing some brain cells as PANIC will be back in town for the weekend.
My doc called and all my levels are good from my blood draw yesterday, so i am as healthy as one can get, according to my blood. so that is good.
So have a great weekend all, and don't forget to CHEER FOR THE ROCKIES!!!!
(and the indians for my dad).
(PS- snack time was trail mix- nothing exciting, but good for you)

On Sunday, only in the city of Denver can you wake up early and run a marathon for Breast Cancer, ("run for a cure", brings over 100,000 people alone into the city) then at 2pm catch the Broncos at Mile High Stadium, at 5pm, dash over to the Pepsi Center to watch the Avalanche play one of the first games of the season, then at 8, if need be, the Rockies will try for the National League Champs if they didn't do it on Saturday night.
Now that is a good day/night in Denver...if you like sports.
My boyfriends parents are coming into town this weekend, well should be here now, i guess. Tonight we are doing an art walk in Denver, then Sunday the Art Museum, so a weekend full of culture and expanding my brain. then next weekend is a weekend for killing some brain cells as PANIC will be back in town for the weekend.
My doc called and all my levels are good from my blood draw yesterday, so i am as healthy as one can get, according to my blood. so that is good.
So have a great weekend all, and don't forget to CHEER FOR THE ROCKIES!!!!
(and the indians for my dad).
(PS- snack time was trail mix- nothing exciting, but good for you)

walk like an Egyptian
So, today i am back to wearing my pedometer. I am at 2718 after my afternoon walk. i think i will go around the building a few times at snack time to get the count up a bit.
Yesterday snack was check mix baggies. I took one but brought it home instead of eating it. that way it is less for me if Jeff eats it.
that's all, just thought i would share my pedometer number

Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the Ball....
Ok a little Homer Simpson lyrics for you, but OMG!!! did you all see the game last night?? The ROCKIES WIN to clinch the Wild Card slot for the NLD!!! that is AMAZING. I didn't get tickets to that game so i watched with bated breath while the game went to extra innings tied at 6/6. Until the Padres guy hit a home run bringing in a runner on second at the same time. They were leading by 2 though the whole half of the 13th inning until Troy Tulawitski got up to bat after Matzui got to second. He hit a double bringing in Matzui. Now we are only down by one when Matt Holiday takes to the plate. He swings at the first pitch to hit it on to the outfield wall and bounce it back it. The race was on to the plate after Troy ran in the tieing run. Holliday came accross and the Ump called him safe at home plate. The game is over and ROCKIES WIN!!!!
OI quickly went onto the Rockies website and got a Wild Card Rockies hat that all the ball players got at the end..
So, now we are in the post season and i am still trying to find a ticket to Saturdays game against the Phillies at Colorado!!
The town is on cloud nine!!!!
