US Open

USOPEN_1.jpg

My boy took me to the US Open for my birthday this year. I'm not a big tennis fan, but I have to admit that it was alot of fun. We had Ground’s Passes which means you can walk around the grounds, and have access to everything except Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is out in Queens, across from Shea. All of this excitement happened a while ago, and Fedder won, of course, so BFD.

A bunch of pictures after the jump...

(Interestingly, the blue thing in the far background is the current Shea Stadium and the cranes to the right of it is the site where the new Shea is being built.)

(Ground’s Pass is cool, because you can wander around and get close to some "action".)

(Only white people are allowed to attend the US Open. The resultant white-out causes a massive glare, which is why sunglasses are standard issue. Asians are allowed to attend only after a careful "Proper Polo" screening by Jimmy Connors, and a special khaki fitting by John McEnroe.)

(My man [frame right] was clearly bored with the mixed doubles matches, although I found them delightful.)

(I guess the old dude [bottom, frame left] was Roger Fedder's father. All these haggy tennis star-fuckers were sweating him. The lesson here is to have a superstar son, so that you can dick around and get free shit later in life.)
