Gwinnett Braves Game
On Friday night we went with Jason Lucas and Bobby to the Gwinnett Braves game! Jason had gotten some tickets from a vendor that he works with and asked us if we would like to go with him to the game Friday night. We definitely said yes and we all headed out to Duluth to see them play.
I had never been to the stadium and I have to say I was VERY impressed. The stadium is brand new and the people could not be any nicer there. Everyone welcomes you in and is so willing to help. They escort you to your seats do everything possible to make sure that you have a great time! Our seats were right behind home plate and only three rows back! They were perfect! In addition to great seats it was full service! A lady comes by and asks what you would like to drink and brings it to you. During the game I had a bunch of time to play with the camera and really learn quite a bit about shooting in low light situations. I took a crap ton of pictures (only posted a small handful on the photo gallery site) which really gave me a chance to understand a number of different settings. The only downfall to this is that i quickly found out that I need to spend some money on some more expensive lenses. As you can see in some the bad and or ball is blurred. This is because I could not choose a shutter speed that would let enough light into the frame and still freeze action happening that fast.
Bat Breaking at Contact
The game was a blast especially with Bobby heckling all of the opposing players. It was hilarious. Go check out a game sometime. There were about 7,000 great fans there and it was a hell of a time. Plus tickets are CHEAP!
Sign Above the Toilets
While at the game Alisha noticed that there was a sign about the water in the toilets. Who the HELL would use ANY toilet water for drinking water??! LOL
After the game we all headed to Taco Mac out at Mall of Georgia. We had a few beers there and had a great time. One of those beers was a one time brew from Terrapin called 30 Strong Ale. This is brewed ONLY for Taco Mac for their 30th anniversary. It was delicious! It is a strong ale brewed with 30 different ingredients and a very smooth taste. As you know, I love Terrapin and this was a must have for me.
If you have never had a Terrapin beer, I strongly recommend you have one. They have great beers from their lighter blonde ale (Terrapin Golden Ale) to darker beers like their India Brown Ale (a wildly hopped brown ale). They are most known by beer lovers for their special one time and seasonal brews.
Jason – thanks for inviting us. We had a great time man!!!
