If you needed me this weekend, I was at Nationals Park.

In the course of about 29 hours I saw 29 innings of baseball, which included an absolutely wild 11-inning game Friday night and a day/night doubleheader Saturday followed by a post-game Wallflowers concert at the stadium.

The games were the main attraction, especially since I was there with my brother Pat, a diehard fan of the opposing Atlanta Braves.  The Nats were up 9-0 Friday, only to lose 11-10.  They lost again in the first game Saturday, but rebounded with an extremely entertaining performance in the nightcap.  I even saw my favorite player (legally) dive into an ump and knock him down.

The concert was the second in the NatsLive series that I’ve seen.  Last year, Pat and I saw Lifehouse play at the stadium (which, as I described in this post, was awesome).  This time it was more of a blast from the past with The Wallflowers, who sounded good/exactly how I imagine they did in 1997.

 They played a lot of new songs, but did the four that I recognized from back in the day:

In an odd twist of scheduling, Saturday was the first time I’ve ever attended a doubleheader…and I’m going to another one in less than two weeks.  Add in another post-game concert with Third Eye Blind, and August is going to be a good month at Nats Park.
