Got to go behind the scenes tonight at AT&T Park. Batting cages, the visitor dugout and clubhouse, even got to stand on the field and all of it was awesome. Couldn't actually go on the grass or around the bases, but seeing it all from that low, cool level was fantastic. I took some video. Perhaps some of it will be worth showing.

Here are some dogs in ridiculous costumes.

Next are messenger bags, haversacks and other items created from recycled inner tubes. Durable, 'green' and rather awesome. I definitely want the wallet.

And although this has been all over the net and the news recently I gotta post it up. The chances that this is second one that has actual sentient creatures on it is extremely remote, but the simple fact that we could detect and discern the aspects that make it even remotely possible, from 20 light years away, is pretty damn awesome.
