Penn State Football Weekend:
Cousin Frankie put together a hell of a weekend by organizing a little jaunt out to State College to watch big time college football. Frankie's son, Eric, is a Sophomore, and neck deep into the frat scene. Joining us were a bunch of other cousins and we all headed out to the Super 8 to spend 2 nights doing it up in College Town USA.
Get in Friday night, check in and head downtown to Beaver Street, aptly named, I might add. Hit a college nightspot, Zenos, saw a kick ass band,(dont know name). Played everything from Blondie to the Mighty Bosstones.
Spent a late night drinking, smoking a stogie or two and hanging out with a bunch of folks, I rarely get to see, my cuzins. My main man, Cuz Chris, couldnt make it due to a case of the bronchial stuff. Missed him.
Saturday was cool starting off with a tailgate at 1oam, beers, burgers and sausages in a muddy field with a slight mist in the air and occassional rain burst. Not too cold, not too wet, so it wasnt all that bad.
The game was against Mich St. PS wooped em hard in the second half and the place went nuts. Much better than if they got blown out like they had several times this season.
Game over, happy fans, back to the Tailgate, more beers, more barbecue sausage, chicken and what ever was left. Hanging with pledges from Eric's house.
Nice to be back at college atleast for a night or two. Still can party with the best of em, I gotta say.
