The Red Sox Winning The World Series Makes You A Zombie

I'm a zombie right now, but this past week has been unreal. There is definitely a different feeling from when the Red Sox won in 2004. That year we were living in Boston, I went to 15 home games and we were dancing on Boylston Street after the final out. This year was different but just as sweet in different ways.

Since blogging last I was in Oak Brook, IL for three days last week. I was up late in my hotel room Wednesday and Thursday watching the Sox play and up early each morning for the meeting I was at, so I wasn't getting much sleep. I was going nuts by myself when Papelbon picked off Holiday in the 8th inning Thursday night. Friday night I flew home and of course there were delays and I didn't get home until 12 midnight, probably didn't get to bed until 1AM. Saturday we got a lot done during the day and that night we just stayed in and watched the game, the longest 9 inning game in World Series history. And of course I was up late again last night after having 6 guys, all Redskins fans, over to watch the Patriots vs. Redskins game. It was a long, long day to say the least. I got an interesting perspective of what other fans think of the Patriots right now. They don't like us...but I don't really care. I hope the Patriots go undefeated, win the Superbowl and disrespect everyone along the way.

Tomorrow we are heading to see Jimmy Eat World at the 9:30 club, it is an early show so hopefully it won't be another late night. Jimmy Eat World has a new album out right now and they are one of those bands that I have wanted to see for a very long time now, seeing them at the 9:30 club is going to be nuts. The 9:30 club is DC's equivalent of Boston's Paradise Rock Club.

Enjoy the week, I'll hopefully be around. Leaving for Scotland on Sunday so I'll try to get a few posts in before then.
