Hey Rice

You still in NYC? The wife and I may be up there the week of the 14th. Is it easy to come up with giants tickets since they are so bad this year or should I buy on stub hub now?

Ya I still live there but not so sure about the tickets. I would say just go ahead and grab them on stubhub. I have been to 2 games there ever and once had an extra ticket and saw a black guy asking for tickets and told him I have one...you would have thought I have a kilo of ccocaine the way he wanted to walk away from the cops and get away from people to get it. Apparently getting tickets around the stadium there is a big deal if you get caught. Also it's a nice little trip going to the stadium. You have to go to penn station and get on a train to I think Hoboken then you have to get off that train and on one to the stadium. It's a nice little commute on a crowded train usually. The way back is what really blows and if you can head out of the stadium a little early or you'll be waiting on that train back to the city for about 45 minutes just to get on it. I stayed after a game once for about 20 minutes to talk to an old team mate and ended up at the back of the line.

My wife found out about the time getting out there and nipped that in the bud. Guess we are doing the normal touristy Christmas stuff.
