This Friday morning, I, along with two other college buddies, are heading to Cleveland … that’s right, Cleveland. I’m not really sure how we came to the decision to go here, but what the hell. Maybe it’s because the rock and roll hall of fame is located there … maybe it’s because they have a really cool ballpark … maybe it’s because I have a strong resemblance to Drew Carey.
So, here are some things we’ll be doing in Cleveland (please, add some, if you have any other suggestions):
* Sometime on Friday, we’ll visit the rock and roll hall of fame, and pay homage to Mick Jagger … well, at least I’ll be paying homage to Mick.
* We have tickets to the Indians vs. Braves baseball game … I’m hoping they have a pregame wrestling match between Wahoo McDaniel and Chief Jay Strongbow.
* My one friend, who is a certifiable pervert, has already come up with a list of “gentleman’s establishments” in the area.
* There will be much drinking … which will lead to “conversations” with other Clevelandites on the following:
* How they’ve managed to survive living in a dumpster like Cleveland for so long.
* When they plan on fielding a real professional football team again.
* When the next time they plan on setting that lake on fire would be.
* If they can explain the Craig Ehlo experience.
* How long they plan on riding this Jim Brown thing.
Yep, we’ll be just fine.

Is this Burning River Fest weekend in Cleveland?
You should get your picture taken at the Memphis Plaza Lounge -- the real Warsaw Tavern -- 5303 Memphis Ave. http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271%7C55802%7C1%7C,00.html
Other ways to annoy the locals:
* "How long until LeBron James bolts for the Lakers or Knicks?"
* "Art Modell was right. Baltimore is much nicer. So is Pittsburgh."
* "Jim Thome had his best years in Philly."
* "Was that the mayor and the governor at a Browns game with dog bones in their mouths?"
Los,
After reading your blog for so long now, I'm pretty convinced you, and a big crowd of friends, and beer is some of the most fun a person could have anywhere!!
Have a fabulous time!!

Remember... Cleveland is still the town that traded the Sixers Roy Hinson for that #1 pick which turned out to be Brad Dougherty.
los please tell the phils to stop winning games while the mets are in a "down cycle"... the braves got the memo but apparently the phils did not.... have fun in cleveland... work the drew carey thing for some free drinks
cleavland is a butthole

Once in college me and some friends decided we needed to randomly fly somewhere on very short notice. We chose Cleveland based on absolutely nothing. Then everything fell apart because my friends are pussies and didn't want to skip baseball practice. I'll always regret not making that trip to beautiful Cleveland, Ohio.
I have never been...I hope you take pics! ;o)
Have fun!
I here the Indians stadium is a must see...
That's all I got...I know har to beleive...
