THEM Open

I got to go to the US Open today! I've never been before because I am not made of money and I don't own an appropriate hat. Of course the US Open is a jam-packed celebrity-fueled free-for-all (and other hyphenated words), so getting tickets is almost impossible - as you can see in this pic taken from the very top row of Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Everyone's out buying crepes!

We actually had pretty good seats a few rows from the court (thank you, friend with a connection to an unnamed sporting goods company!). I rubbed elbows with all sorts of drunk, open-collared Arab men, babies dressed in designer duds, and elderly ladies upset they were not going to get to see "Roderick." It was tough to fit in, but at one point my cellphone rang and I rushed out of the stadium screaming, "I said sell, you bastard! Sell!" so I don't think anyone suspected for a second that often eat frozen burritos for breakfast.

So many appropriate hats!
