Your “Beerguy’s Opening Night” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Evenin’ folks.

I’m not actually here tonight. (Some would argue I’m never actually “here” at all.) Tonight is the opening evening of baseball at my beloved Nat Bailey Stadium.

I think it’s my 27th season selling beer at that venue. Winewife is kinda tired of the whole deal, what with my advanced age & such. But it’s been an enjoyable summer pastime over the decades, and I think contributes to both my general pleasant demeanour

and willingness to go back into a classroom in September.

Besides, what’s not to love? The view is great,

I’ve been part of some promotions,

And get to hang out with my summer friends.

So, once again begins another summer of selling beers and getting jeers. The arguments are worth it.

Tonight’s sports:

  • REDBLACKS at Stampeders – 7:00PM | TSN
  • Blue Bombers at BC Lions – 10:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN
