Baseball Last week

Last thrusday, my friend JJ called me up and invited me to a Twins baseball game at the new stadium. Four or five phone calls later michael and I were in the car and headed to Minneapolis to pick up JJ for the game.

We parked about four blocks from the stadium for $5 and made the walk. Even though we lost, the game was awesome. I don't think there's a bad seat in the entire joint. And the seats JJ got us were AMAZING. About 8 rows up, after the reserved seats, behind home plate.

His work has season tickets and I guess they had no one to use them for this game. Worked out great.

JJ, Me, and Michael.

JJ even brought a couple dunnys in, since we picked him up at Robot Love.

ALSO:

Michael found an iPhone 4 when we were walking out of the stadium. On the sidewalk... He picked it up and looked confused for a second, I said, "FO FUKKA KEEP WALKIN!" I wasn't about to let him start flashing around an iphone and saying, "Anyone lose an iphone?"

After some long talks and turning down JJ for all the offers he was making to buy the phone from Michael. I talked him into letting me try to contact the guy who it belonged to.

The phone was password protected so there was nothing we could do right off the bat. Later I found out that you can still access the contacts page without the password but it never came to that. Michael didn't want to wait around for the guy to call so I figured I'd take the responsibility and I took the phone to my place. The next morning the guy called the phone and actually tracked it with his iPad... I told michael the night before that people can do that, so he shouldn't try to sell it or mess with it too much.

But after that the guy came by and to pick it up. He was really excited that I had it and was waiting for him to come pick it up. He was so happy that he offered me all the money he had on him... $25 American and $5 Canadian. I told him I don't need anything but the friend of mine who found it would probably appreciate something. So he gave me the $25 and said he'd give me $100 if he had it on him. Then he said, "I also got $5 Canadian but you probably don't want that." So I explained to him that my friend who found it, Michael, is actually a huge fan of Canada. So he gave it all to me and talked to me for a bit through my screen door, told me how drunk they all were and how his buddy is in jail, then he took off. (When leaving the game we saw a guy with tears down his face, handcuffed, sitting on the ground against a Police car. He looked like he just got maced... I guess that was his friend.)

When I gave the money to Michael later that day, he was SO happy that the guy gave us $5 Canadian. He said it was completely worth it just for that.

So it all worked out. :)
