CWS night 3, 6/19/11

Playing catch up here on my posts. Okay, it finally took three nights of being down there to actually hit the different tents in the TD Ameritrade ballpark area. Slowdown has a tent with live music, Old Mattress Factory has a really sweet setup, and Union has one set up also. The most fun one? Probably the one at Old Mattress Factory. It is also the busiest. There are food vendors lined up on the side, beer carts galore, and a few major bar areas to get your drink on. They have the biggest music stage setup (besides the permanent one inside of the actual Slowdown bar).

Jena and I hit up CWS night 3. I did Rollin to Colon that morning and went home to nap. True, CWS is only in town for two weeks out of the year and it is one heck of a good time! How can I say no to going? Lemon Fresh Day was planning to take the stage that night. Some girl got hit crossing the street, blah blah blah. There are are lot of drunk people crossing streets and who knows about the people driving the cars. Be careful out there folks!

Sarah and others from Greenstreet helping out with the bike parking

One of the coolest things about the CWS this year? Omahabikes is hosting free bike parking in front of Greenstreet. As many of you know, Greenstreet closed it's doors during the CWS and rented out their store to a sports souvenir store. Well right outside, they have a few parking spaces blocked off where you can park your bike for free! Gotta love the idea and definitely helps to give Omaha that greener image! Awesome ideas guys!

Check out this Coors Light bar at Old Mattress Factory parking lot. It is actually a traveling trailer with sides that flip up, complete with bar and tvs already setup and wired inside. Pretty cool. 

As you'll see in the video below, there was a small drum band that came through. They were really good and stealing the show before LFD was ready to play. But check out the guy dancing at 2:44. Yes, he needs to take dancing lessons. I wish he would have danced longer, could have been one of those crazy dancer type videos on youtube where they get 1million hits!

 For $2, you can use the crane arm to try and catch a lobster. If you succeed, they'll grill it up for you. This machine was conveniently placed behind the long line waiting for the ATM. Brilliant!
