Brooklyn Cyclones vs. Aberdeen, KeySpan Park, Coney Island, Brooklyn, with Annie, Robert, Megan, Dana, Laura, Mika, Dagfinn, and Christina.



After an hour (insane) rain delay, after we're full of corndogs and ice cream and had a couple beers, and after we lose the seat-Nazi with his mysterious wad of dollar bills, it turns out to be a pretty nice night.



Same can't be said for the Cyclones. Aberdeen is up 4-1 and still scoring (Brooklyn petering out way back in the 5th) by the time we leave in the 8th. We wander over to Astroland for funnel cake and to ride the Polar Express before it kills again,







followed by one last ride on the Cyclone before the long(-ish) train ride home.





(and some of us still dizzy just from watching)

Raph tells Brian K. Vaughn that he didn't like the ending of Y: The Last Man.



It's all good though.

Happy birthday, Shan.
