2013 All Star Crap

As threatened by a recent Facebook post, the two a-holes that write this blog registered for the All-Star Game 5K (to benefit Sandy victims, by the way) in order to hang out with MLB mascots. And also to blog about it for you people. Yes, that's it. We do all of this for the blog. Not because we're creepy or that we enjoy running. If there are no mascots at the end of this finish line slapping us high-five, we will have legit bitch fits. We will throw ourselves on the ground kicking and screaming, causing the runners behind us to trip over our flailing bodies. MLB, you've been warned. Make our desires happen. Oh, and PS? We're making special shirts for this run. Granted, we lost the directions for the letters and numbers, so this is sure to be interesting. Stay tuned for grandness.

We are trying to partake in as many activities as we can since the game is local to us this year (and also, we totally failed you when the circus came to town for Yankee Stadium's last hoorah so we're trying to make it up to you). The 5K was the easiest activity for us to join since it's on the weekend, we work during the week, and we still don't understand what the FanFest Expo is all about. The website and ticket options were confusing. In addition to the 5K next weekend, we're also going to partake in something fun that we'll share with you on our Twatter and Instagram pages (@TravelingBBabes), so be sure to follow us so that you can stay connected.

Speaking of All Star Game, MLB has finally released its rosters! Hooray. In the great words of Harry Doyle, "We think we'll wet our pants." Behold your 2013 all stars:

Our 2013 stadium tour is only 12 days away and we've barely prepared for anything. We started searching for activities to do via the internet machine today. Here's what we're thinking (in addition to the stadium-related stuff):

• Tour of the St. Louis Arch (duh, this is like a must) and a sightseeing riverboat cruise on the Mississippi River.
• Checking out the 360 Rooftop Bar at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark for pre or post-game drinks...or both. Cos' we love the taste of alcohol on our lips.
• Tour the free local breweries because we're the Traveling Beer Gut Babes. Who doesn't like to be drunk at 11 am? Let's face it, awesome things happen when we're drunk and wandering around unfamiliar cities. Just ask Milwaukee, Paris, and Toronto.
• A Haunted History walking tour of St. Louis.
• Check out a blues show at a local oyster bar.
• Riverboat casinos. They have table games. We may never make it home.
