Yankees and Gaga

I have been slacking on writing about last weekends adventures. Russell, Natasha, Chelseanne and I went to the Yankees game. It was the first of the season for me and the first time in the new stadium. It had been raining on and off and we were hoping that the skies would hold the rain for a few hours. We entered the 110 subway stopped when it was pouring and when we arrived in the Bronx it was all clear. The stadium rocked! We were sitting in the bleacher seats and they were awesome! You can't beat $12 tickets!!! The Yankees rocked the first inning and went up 4-0. It was great until the 6th inning when it started raining and the Angels when up 6-4 and then in the 7th up 9-4! To say the least, we were not excited. Then Chelseannes prayer was answered -- the Yankees started their comeback in the 8th inning! It was 9-7 or 8, (can't remember) in the bottom of the 9th and then Cano got up with the bases loaded, yes, bases loaded and no outs! Cano singled and the Yankees ended up winning 10-9, AMAZING!!!!

One would think that the Yankees comeback game would be enough for a while but Lady Gaga was in town and Russell and I had tickets to her show. Love Lady Gaga and her show was awesome. We went to Terminal 5 for the show which is located on 12th Ave and 56th street. We met up with two other girls from our ward and we enjoyed "people watching". Liatards and make-up were all the rage. One of my favourite quotes from the night "girl, if I weren't a homosexual I would make out with you, and you, and you -- You are all FABULOUS!" We got prime seats in the venue and enjoyed the three warm up bands, one of which had a lead singer (a he) who wore high heels and fish net stalkings -- welcome to NEW YORK CITY! Lady Gaga was an awesome entertainer. Her get-ups and props were awesome. Her her "storm trooper boustier" made us laugh throughout the show. Here she is in her bubble dress, which at first we thought she might be in the nude but she had a skin tone liatard underneath. The weekend was great and I look forward to the next few weekends here as I cross things off my list and as friends come into town to visit.
