SF Giants!!

Many people in the art world aren't fans of sports. When I was looking at colleges for my undergrad I remember visiting Drew University. When I took the tour I was obviously taken to various art departments, buildings, galleries, and hangouts due to the fact that my major was going to be fine art. When I asked the question "Where is the pool?" And the head of the swim coach's office, I was stared at blankly. Then she said, "Oh, we don't go to the gym." Like I had to pick one or the other, art or sports.

Now don't get me wrong I'm definitely not the biggest sports fanatic, far from it actually. I am definite more of the artist but I do like sports and participate in them. Especially when it comes to the comradey of it all. So when A serious game like tonight is on, I'm not just an artist I am a sports fan too.

When I asked my fellow art students if they wanted to come down to the local bar in the heart of downtown San Francisco and enjoy having a beer and burger while watching the game, they all declined. They didn't even understand the meaning and reason to why this game is even important. Being around other fans and enjoying the heat, sweat, anxiety, and love for their team is what makes being a fan all about.

Now don't get me wrong I understand it's still midterms and I'm still trying to recover before Mexico but God dammit you have to live and enjoy life and the world around you. San Francisco has one of the best fan bases I have ever seen in America at least and I want to revel in it. So even though I'm a New Yorker and I will always be a Yankees fan. Right now I'm bleeding orange and black.
