3rd Annual Henkel Phillies Road Trip!

The most excellent model showing off this years shirt!

On the scene at Riot Printing with the road trip shirts on the press!

TIME TO HIT THE ROAD

Dad, Donna, Mary and I left for Pittsburgh on Thursday around 4:20. I took over driving after dinner and ended up getting a ticket on 19 only 30 miles from our hotel. The officer cut me a break but still gave me a ticket.

Our hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. Right next to PNC park too! The hotel was beautiful and the rooms were awesome. Those divided style rooms with a couch and a large LCD TV.

Awesome seats in the club level

Had a great day! Ate at The Bus's (Jerome Bettis) restaurant along the river and got a little sun. It is a beautiful area and honestly I expected it to run down and dirty. PNC park is beautiful! The game went into extra innings and things got a little crazy. We had 20+ people with us, all in Phillies gear and just about everyone in the shirt I made. There were some Pirates fans that were getting a little lippy. We all know why, the Phillies have regained their top tier status as a team while the Pirates are still horrible and can't seem to put together a winning season. Well to protect those involved someone in our group got tired of hearing it and got in the face of "the lumberjack" as I called him, due to his tan Pirates hat and tan shirt. Well he still didn't let up and Mr. lumberjack got an open hand across his face. He was out matched and retaliated by throwing his beer. Well both were thrown out. A Pirates fan in front of my actually turned around and told me he had it coming, talking about the lumberjack. So this cause tension in our section. A local turned around to the lumberjacks friend and started yelling at him due to excessive cussing, he was removed. Then...a lady in front of us starting antagonizing another member of our group. They had thrown a few drinks back earlier so it went start to shouting back and forth. This member of our group was removed also.


12th inning...Pirates walk off.
