Potential Die-Hard Football Fan?
Went to my first ever live football game!I My girlfriend's boyfriend is one of the coaches for a local high school team and so I went to keep her company.
I saw some cheerleaders do flips and other tricks over hard surfaces, which was pretty cool! I even heard a marching band but they didn't come out onto the field. Now what is the point in a marching band if they don't march? I was informed that the North East typically is not big on the whole marching band thing. I guess only a couple schools up here, if even that many, do marching. I think it is sad that we stuff our football bands under the bleachers instead of showcasing them. This seems to be a trend in the way in which we treat many art forms in our school systems!
Although my girlfriend's team lost, they were playing against my town's team, which won, so I won either way because I was for both teams ;) Afterward, we splurged on some home-cooked southern food at a local eatery in Davis Sq. Loved it!
The only thing I'm really bummed about is that Boston music stations are not supporting my eclectic musical interests. I like ALL music types, but there is only so much rock and pop music that a girl can take before she gets sick of it. Last summer when I moved home from the West Coast I discovered that Boston had just gotten a new R&B/Soul/Gospel radio station, which I loved! But it was only temporary I guess because it is gone now and has been replaced by a HARD rock station. I like hard rock, but I just don't think that Boston needs more variations on rock, we have that already!
The other programming I loved when I first arrived was "Rockers", a reggae block on the college student produced WERS. "Rockers" was on from 4pm-7pm, right when I drove home in the evening from work. 97.7, the R&B station, eased me into my day and "Rockers" made me feel all right on the way home in 2hrs of rush hour traffic. Now "Rockers" has been bumped up to a later block, which is not convenient for me at all, and 97.7 has become anything but relaxing, so I am feeling deprived of my soul/ R&B + reggae music. I suppose I could listen to my CDs, but I don't have a CD player in my car. Sad. There really are no other radio stations that play these types of music and that frustrates me.
This having been said, if radio programming is my largest problem right now, I think I'm doin O.K. So I really have very little to complain about and much to celebrate, like a super football game experience, yummy drinks and good food in my tummy.
Have a good night!
