Nationals Game and a Third Eye Blind Concert?!

Hi everyone,

Last night, I went to my last Nationals game before the end of the season. They played the New York Mets and lost pretty badly, but it was still a great game to see and the fans were louder than usual. Seeing the stadium practically full (when there are around 40,000 seats) is pretty neat... especially because we were up in the nosebleed section 417. We were directly above home plate though so we did have a nice look down to the game.

The highlight of the game though was the post-game concert. Every month or so, they host a concert after the game in Nationals Park so you just go down to the closest seats and rock out to some fun music. This post-game concert was amazing mostly because Third Eye Blind was playing... and for those who don't know them... they were a prime-time band back when I was in middle school. Songs like "Never Let You Go" and "Semi-Charmed Life" play in commercials now, they were that popular.

A huge number of people stayed behind for the concert which was amazing and even surprised the band! Here is a video someone took last night and posted to youtube- not the best quality but gives you an idea of the fun :)

Happy Sunday,
Marisa

Sports in the City

Hey Y'all

As a tour guide I often get the question "What does the typical GW kid do on the weekends?"

But with a school of about 10,000 undergrads and a city like Washington DC at our finger tips it's difficult to pinpoint what it is we do with our free time because so many of us are doing many different things. 

Below are the examples of the sporting events available to us as residents of our nation's capitals. We have the Washington Redskins of the NFL, the Washington Nationals of the MLB, DC United of the MLS, the Washington Capitals of the NFL, and finally the Washington Wizards of the NBA. Most of those teams have college discount nights which are also great ways to meet kids from other area schools (GU, AU, GMU, HU).
