I discovered yet another reason to be excited about being in Beloit in the summer: Snappers games! For those of you who may have ever doubted about how much fun a minor league baseball game might really be, prepared to be amazed. For one thing, the price is pretty much unbeatable: on Tuesdays (College Night) it's a dollar admission with a student ID, and a dollar for EVERYTHING after that...as in, dollar beers (with ID of course), dollar hotdogs, dollar candy bars, dollar etc. GENIUS. I had a serious flashback to the high school days of night baseball games, sitting on those hard metal bleachers and shoving handfuls of David sunflower seeds into my cheek like a hamster. A bunch of Beloit students ended up going, so we sat in the nosebleed section (not really nosebleed, since Telfer Park is pretty cozy) and hung out and chatted and made a valiant effort to actually concentrate on the game! Since I've been getting a lot of questions about town/college relationships, going to these games seems like a great way to get off campus and spend some time among Beloit residents.
In other news, I'm taking Friday afternoon off and jaunting around Iowa and Wisconsin for Friday and Saturday! I have to go home to replace a lost license (lost physically, not like taken away by the cops) and then Jim and I are spending Saturday in Madison with my parents (yeah, I know, sickening) bumming around and sitting on the Monona Terrace and eating ice cream! Should be a fun, quick trip!
